SOL 90% Reflective Lightweight Emergency Bivvy
Tall Ridge
Important information
Indications
The SOL Emergency Bivvy is a full-protection shelter that reflects 90% of body heat for warmth in extreme temperatures.
Directions
A heat-reflective bivvy that can function by itself as a shelter from cold, wind and rain. However, you can still loose critical heat through conduction (the transfer of heat to colder surfaces around you). Thickly pad the area underneath your bivvy with as much dry debris as possible to add insulation between you and the cold ground. Find a safe spot for your shelter that is free from risk of falling trees or rocks, running water if is rains, high winds, or other natural hazards.

In a wilderness setting, I would insulate under this bag with whatever brush I could find and then around the bag with dried leaves and then wrap up in a second bag, which I also bring along, and that would be VERY effective to keep you warm and dry at night. Ideally, you would want to get under cover of shelter and off the ground. Still, this bag would help cut the wind and at least keep the wind from evaporating all of the moisture from your skin and chilling you further. It might even help if trapped on a ski lift for a week with wolves roaming below, just don't take your glove off and freeze your hand to the safety bar. Even in warm weather, this would be helpful for someone going into shock, if their core temperature began falling.
This product is far superior to an emergency blanket, because if you've ever had to use one, you know it's like covering yourself with a 4' square of tissue paper in gale force winds. Drafts get under the blanket and it's not nearly as water resistant since you are exposed where your undoubtedly poor wrap job "seals" around you.
These would also work wonders to prevent hypothermia on a hiking in the cold, if someone fell into water. You could get into this bag skin to skin with someone to save their life, or just get frisky. You could use this bag to: carry light important items, like food; collect water; signal to rescuers; cut open to create a heat reflector for a fire (why it's good to bring a sucky emergency blanket along also); create a water still or rain collector; reflect heat AWAY from you when you need shade shelter in open sun; line your pack and place clothing for some water proofing when crossing a stream/river; cover an amputation stump to prevent blood loss or seal a sucking chest wound; create a cheesy Halloween costume as the orange ghost; or make a wind sock in your yard.
5 stars for value, good strong material for what it is, design/roominess, superiority to an emergency blanket, re-useability, extra space in stuff sack for quick roll job or extra items, and life saving potential for low cost/space/weight.
I picked this item to specifically
hand out to the homeless around my area
that I live and work.
Specially thought of this type of item because
thought if your homeless,
1. They're not bulky {can fit in your pocket}
2. They're not heavy to carry around.
3. Easy to get in and out of.
4. They're durable so they can last a while.
5. Would work better for staying warm cause
of the type of material it's made out of.
6. Comes with a handy 'Lil carrying bag
7. And a gigantic attribute, it's water resistant !
----------------------------------------------------------------
Figure if I was homeless, sounds like an item
I could "live" with. {if you know what I mean}
Recommendation to whoever reads this review,
buy some to give away to the homeless around
your location. They don't cost that much.
I bought and gave away 15 of them.
Gunna purchase more to give away.
Idea:
I'm passing the word to people that work for me,
family and friends to see if they want to pitch in
$ and I'll do the buying on Amazon and then give
them to them to pass out, or I can pass them out for them.
I'm also a fan of the Adventure Medical Kits Survive Outdoors Longer Escape, Bivvy Breathable Blanket (I have bought two of these for our two bug-out-bags for emergencies that might happen while we are home). But, it costs more and takes up about 6 times the space. And, while I would recommend this one for overnight hikes in areas with nice weather, more serious emergencies, or longer-term use, it is not suitable for a day pack given its size and weight, or cost effective if you need more than one or two.
But, this little bivvy has a high cost/benefit ratio for those sorts of things. It is a small, light weight, inexpensive, and worthwhile addition to any day pack or emergency kit.

Il est ultra léger et ultra compact, rien à voir avec un sac de couchage classique. Evidement, c'est un équipement de survie et non de confort ! Vous passerez certainement une mauvaise nuit mais vous passerez la nuit. :) Pour plus de confort il faudra le compléter avec un sac de couchage classique ou léger et enfiler les deux.
J'aime sa couleur orange afin de pouvoir être vu en cas d'urgence (et c'est justement sa fonction car en camping on privilégiera un sac de couchage ordinaire plus lourd et volumineux).
Le packaging est en anglais et en français (c'est assez appréciable !) et donne quelques conseils d'utilisation.

The specs / stats are all there to see quite how small this is, as well as the wee protective bag it comes in. It's not massively smaller than your typical 'survival bag' but seems lighter and in a more compact shape, contained in a nice bag. The shape, weight and dimensions have left me to generally just chuck this in my bag whenever I'm going on a walk that necessitates a water bottle, some snack and a water proof.
It's probably overkill, for most things I'm doing, but it's nice to have there in case needed. I guess a good, non-emergency example of use was during Summer Solstice up Snowdon. Watching the sunrise with a group, one of of the members hadn't come prepared with enough warm gear and was finding the exposure, waiting for the sunrise on the summit, a little
too much. Her survival bag gave her the warmth she needed to endure rather than having to head down. I'm by no means advocating these work to replace suitable kit / gear but it's always good to have a back up option.
Apprezzo moltissimo il servizio che Amazon dà ai suoi clienti, ma finirò col rinunciarci e con me molti altri se non migliorerà il rapporto di Amazon con i suoi dipendenti: qualità globale è anche questo.

Reviewed in Singapore on July 28, 2023
Came not in original packing.
Ideal para un imprevisto, como funda de vivac o como protección de un accidentado.
Su color naranja facilita la visibilidad.
No esta pensado para un uso continuado sólo es para una emergencia o un uso ocasional.
Frente a la tradicional manta térmica tiene la ventaja de ofrecer más protección, al tratarse de un saco no tiene el inconveniente de envolverse como con la manta con lo que se evita las perdidas de calor por los diferentes pliegues.
El saco no tiene cremallera sólo una abertura por uno de los extremos.
Yo lo utilizo en travesías de montaña en entornos nevados, aunque forma parte permanente de mi botiquín en cualquier actividad al aire libre.
