FAQ - bivy bags and sleeping protection
Bivy bag or tent: what is the difference in use?
The bivy bag favours low weight, simplicity and emergency use. The tent offers comfort and complete protection for planned use. The bivy bag is the ideal complement to your system.
How do you choose a thermal blanket?
Favour reversible models, reinforced tear resistance and generous dimensions. Check the thermal reflectivity and how easily it folds away.
Breathable bivy bag: really necessary?
Essential for extended use and to avoid internal condensation. Breathability keeps your sleeping bag dry and preserves its insulating performance.
Emergency use: what should you do first?
Get the bivy bag out quickly, insulate yourself from the cold ground, keep your head covered and signal your position. Conserving energy and body heat come first.
Care after heavy use?
Gentle cleaning, dry completely before storing, check the seams. Store uncompressed to preserve the technical membranes, and check the waterproofing regularly.
