Ingredients
(1) Survive Outdoors Longer Emergency Bivvy XL
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.

First, a little about me: I'm 5'11-6'0", 220 lbs. I bought this after reading the numerous reviews that the others were... snug. My typical camping setup is normally a 1 person tent, where the airflow can be kept to a minimum, and an air mattress. I tend to sleep very warm.
I've had great success with this as an alternative to a BLANKET. Rather than climb in to the bag, I've had incredible success using it as a two space blanket layer blanket. I get too much condensation when I try to sleep inside it. Sleeping underneath it keeps the condensation on the outside (flip it over, go back to sleep).
I recently used this for the last time on the Oregon Outback, where temperatures dropped to 30ºF overnight, and I switched to a tube tent instead of a regular tent so there was more airflow. Inside it, I was pretty chilly, but did ok in pants, a shirt and a thin windbreaker. The Oregon Outback is a multi-day event, so I still had to get up every day and ride a stack of miles to get to the next location.
If you're looking for something that would serve you well in an emergency situation, I won't promise that you'll sleep like a baby but coupled with something to shield you from the ground and the wind I would choose this again in a heartbeat.
PS: Repacking is pretty straightforward unless it's windy. Half, half again, fold in to 3s and roll it tight... that will make it fit in to the bag it came in.
* The only of its kind.
* Does keep warmth inside extremely well.
* It's tiny.
Cons:
* Does not breathe at all: When sleeping in it, hot steam collects within. It's like being in a sauna. Feels good to air it every once in a while, even with freezing air.
* Does not breathe at all: Can't keep face and head warm. I tried to submerge my head partly, within a partly open bag, and it kind of works. Not easy to sleep.
* Very fragile. I unintentionally poked holes during my attempt to sleep in it. They help with the breathing problem though... Not sure if intentional tiny holes would make sense though.
* Not cheap.
Did I mention it's tiny, keeps warmth when needed, and is the only of it's kind? 5 stars!
I am amazed at how tiny it is. It took some effort to get it packed again, because the pouch would be a tight fit for a soda can. It even has extra room with the bivvy in there, which seems like an ideal place to keep a fire kit.
If you're considering getting this, just do it.
