Carinthia Combat Bivy Bag

Well designed. Light and functional. Left upper part side zipper make it easy to get in and out. Face mesh helps to keep bugs outside, but there is a gap at the horizontal and vertical zippers junction. A bee got into my bivy bag twice from this small gap. Large enough that I can also keep some dry clothes or other stuff in the bag while sleeping. Tough enough that I can use it as a “dry bag” in my rucksack. I have had 6 different bivy bags over 25 years, this one will be my choice on jungle/bush trips. Majorly used with a tarp if it’s rainy. I prefer simpler (lighter) one for alpine/climbing trips.

Product complies with waterproof and breathable characteristics. Negative points: it feels cramped once closed, and a hoop would be missing because the hood falls on your face. In the bivouac you need at least a thermal sheet because you can feel the freshness of the outside on your skin.

Great gear. Great Company to get it from. Pricey but you get what you pay for in this product.
