Go Time Gear Life Bivy Emergency Sleeping Bag Thermal Bivvy - Use as Emergency Bivy Sack, Survival Sleeping Bag, Mylar Emergency Blanket - Includes Stuff Sack with Survival Whistle + Paracord String

So i used this for the first time on a over night kayaking trip with my brother, and we slept in hammocks. that night it ended up pouring rain and being 48 degrees out and at first we were just laying on them but through out the night we got colder so ended up getting inside of the bag and it worked much better. I'm 6'2 and 235 lb and was plenty big for me. i would recommend this bag for a few reasons, 1 being that it is small and compacted and took up very little space, 2 it does work at keeping you warm and will repel water as well , 3 it's pretty durable and held up great and im sure i can get another 20 plus uses out of it and 4 for the price its a great deal.

The product looks very small, but unfolded, it easily fit around me fully clothed - with additional room. (I weigh 290 pounds and am six foot two inches.) Once used, I feared it would not be easily put back into the accompanying stuff bag. I feared for no reason because I put it back into the bag with no problem.We purchased 4 so we could have one for each of us. I do not regret the purchase.

I purchased the Live Bivy emergency sleeping bag as a back up thinking that I would not need it during my backpacking trip. At night the actual temperature was colder than I expected and my 20° sleeping bag was not keeping me warm. After shivering for a while I decided to pull the Life Bivy out of its package and then I extended it on top of my sleeping bag. I started to feel warm immediately. It was a great feeling to be able to sleep warm. Get one of these and forget about expensive sleeping bags that promise to work at low temperatures.

Right after I bought this bag I put it to the test. The first time staying out in 15 degree weather in the middle of the woods I put my trust in this bag and it delivered period.

I recently received my Life Bivy. I took it on a camping trip and decided to use it just to test out the material make up of this product and whether or not it can insulate me like the manufacturer says it can. Let me tell you this product did not disappoint me at all. I really tugged hard on it trying to tear the material and it just would not tear. Keep it mind that I did not use any type of sharp devices like a knife. Before repacking the bivy when I reached home I wanted to clean it so I shot it down with some water and I looked to see if the material was weatherproof and yes it is. No leaks whatsoever. Would I recommend this to a friend? You bet I would. Stores neatly and is compact. At this price I’m buying me a few more to keep in my car and my wife’s car as well.

I bought this for my survival kit for when I take wilderness big game hunts. I have always assumed the guide had everything. After I got home this last trip, I began assembling a survival kit. Among other gear, I researched compact emergency sleeping bags that do the job and don't take up a lot of space in your pack. This fit the bill and met my requirements. Do yourself a favor, do not put your life in the hands of a guide assuming he has the necessary equipment to keep you alive. Chances are that he doesn't. My last guide did not have a sat phone or a personal locator device ( I'll have a PLD on my next trip). He had an atv accident that broke a few ribs and banged him up , but we made it back to his truck. A grizzly had visited the fringe of our camp just an hour earlier. We were hunting around a remote lake and I learned that he had virtually no safety equipment for an emergency. I haven't tried this yet, and I hope that I never have to, but I do want to return home vertical instead of horizontal. I'll carry a well equiped survival kit from here on out and this life bivy will be in it! Good luck and safe hunting.

This product is great. Arrived on time and in perfect condition. Unpacking it I found exactly what I expected- a space blanket. For an experienced survivalist like myself, this was exactly what I needed for the just-in-case. For folks that expect to use it regularly for extra warmth, you're packing the wrong gear and this bag won't last a lifetime. Very pleased!

Kudos to the seller for getting me this product on time and as promised. It is as expected, an emergency cover/bivy, similar to the ones provided after a half-marathon you may have seen which are usually silver, but a bit more substantial, orange in color and seems waterproof. Bought it for my daughter who was recently stranded in her car in a blizzard. Adding it to an emergency kit for her car. I have not put it to the test but based on other reviews, it's the real deal and will help retain body heat in an emergency. I did take it out of the drawstring bag and was able to fold and put it back no problem - I do dislike when an item will not fit back in the bag it came in!
