>>2726610>Anyone got any experience with bivvy bags?Only tropical bags, which are basically bivies with some extra insulation and breathability.
The snugpak "jungle bag" sucks. Keeps the rain and theflies out, but because of that "put two together to make space for your nonexistens gf" gimmick they have, there's a 4cm gap between the two zippers that snakes or spiders can get in through. Not the kind of thing you want to figure out when you're in a tropical storm and a habu is searching for warmth...
The carinthia tropical bag is alright, and also waterproof enough for strong rain. Too warm for actual tropics, perfect for temperate climate and supposedly (haven't tried it yet) suitable for down to -40C with the Def4 inside it.
Personally, I wouldn't spend money on a classic (fully waterproof, non-insulated) bivy unless you're planning on going into a swamp or somewhere else where you might end up in a pool of water.
