The Adventure Medical Kits SOL Bivvy XL provides critical emergency shelter when survival depends on staying warm and dry. This ultralight bivouac sack reflects 90% of body heat while offering complete protection from wind, rain, and snow in a compact package that fits in any pack.
What Makes This Different
The SOL Bivvy XL uses a proprietary heat-reflective material that dramatically outperforms standard emergency blankets or basic bivvy sacks. While traditional shelters rely solely on insulation, this bivvy actively reflects radiated body heat back to the user. The XL sizing accommodates users up to 6'6" tall, providing full-body coverage that standard emergency shelters cannot match.
