Hunka vs British Army bivi bag

[MikeLA]

Alpkit are good but their hunka bivi is not. Bought the XL and I am not a big bloke and it’s horrible so tight. Passed it on to my kid 12 year old all it’s good for.

the issue bivi bag is much better, more room for you or kit if needed.

Thought the BA Arctic 90 was the best £40 spent on a bag, but the Dutch M90 is better/easier to use. It also cost £40 recently, but just gone up to £48.
Of course being 2 nd hand, the loft on these surplus bags can vary...…………...

Now been out in several frosts, and didn't even have a shiver slept like a baby...……..

I agree with everyone's comments about the British Army bag.
I have the BA goretex bag and it's pretty bombproof. I'm 6'1 and there's plenty of room for me. Enough fabric to pull over your head and a small pack in foul weather too.
I tried someone's hunka standard, for size (I didn't sleep out in it) and it was way too snug. I like the fact that it packs down small into its own sack, and it's v light, but I'd be worried about sharp rocks etc with the Alpkit bag. The material just didn't feel that tough.
With the BA bag you can sleep on broken glass, nails, railings, flint spearheads, hot coals (sorry, might be getting carried away!) But you get the idea.
The army bag is much heavier, but for peace of mind, longevity and vfm, it wins for me.
Also I replaced the issue drawstring with thin paracord so it cinches up a bit smoother.

Hi which BA bivvy is everyone talking about, I have tried the original army green,I'm 6'2" 95kg and it's to snug for me???

Dunno, it's the one I bought from Kitmonster. So it's the one they sent me.
If there's different versions I don't know about them.

BA bivvy bag all the way, I have used that exact thickness Mat in it (mine is the wider one) and it’s fine, i have had multiple Bivvy over the years and this is the one I have kept
