Artos Hooded Emergency Bivy Sack – Mylar Sleeping Bag Orange

Description

Product Overview

The Artos Hooded Emergency Bivy Sack is engineered for the most demanding outdoor conditions while remaining incredibly lightweight and compact. Constructed from a 26 µm extra‑thick Mylar film, the outer shell provides a waterproof barrier that resists tears, punctures, and abrasions, ensuring durability even when exposed to rain, snow, or rugged terrain. Inside, a reflective coating bounces up to 90 % of the user’s body heat back toward them, dramatically reducing heat loss and keeping the sleeper warm throughout the night. The sack is designed for a single adult, with a mummy shape that hugs the body for efficient insulation, and it includes a hooded option for added head protection against wind and cold.

Technical specifications highlight the product’s practicality: each unit weighs only 4.1 ounces (approximately 115 grams) and folds down to a size of 10.71 × 7.01 × 3.07 inches, allowing it to be stored in a pocket, glove compartment, or any emergency kit. The pack of four offers a cost‑effective solution for families, groups, or anyone who wants to be prepared for unexpected weather events. With a synthetic fill that adds no bulk, the bivy sack remains reusable and easy to clean, making it a reliable component of any long‑term survival strategy.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the Artos Bivy Sack excels in a wide range of outdoor activities. Whether you are embarking on a multi‑day backpacking trek, setting up a quick campsite after a day of hiking, or facing an emergency situation where shelter is scarce, this bivy provides immediate protection. Its waterproof Mylar exterior ensures that moisture from rain or condensation does not seep in, while the reflective interior maintains core temperature, making it suitable for both hot summer nights and freezing winter conditions.

Beyond traditional camping, the bivy is an excellent addition to vehicle emergency kits, disaster preparedness supplies, and even military or law‑enforcement gear. In scenarios where a tent is unavailable or impractical, the bivy can be deployed in seconds, offering a secure, insulated space that can be set up on uneven ground, under a tree, or inside a shelter. Its compact size means it can be carried on long treks without adding significant weight, and the orange color enhances visibility in low‑light or dense foliage environments, aiding quick retrieval.

FAQ

How does the Mylar material keep me warm?

The Mylar film acts as a radiant barrier, reflecting the infrared heat emitted by your body back toward you. This process reduces heat loss by up to 90 %, allowing the bivy to maintain a comfortable temperature even when ambient conditions are cold. Because the material is also thin and lightweight, it does not add bulk, making it perfect for backpacking or emergency situations where space is limited.

Can I use the bivy in rainy or wet conditions?

Yes. The outer Mylar layer is fully waterproof and includes a puncture‑resistant coating that prevents moisture from penetrating the interior. Even if the bivy becomes wet on the outside, the reflective interior continues to function, and the material dries quickly once removed from the wet environment. This makes it suitable for use in rainstorms, snow, or humid climates.

Is the bivy suitable for children or larger adults?

The bivy is sized for a single adult with a mummy shape that fits most body types comfortably. While it can accommodate smaller children, the internal space may feel cramped for taller or larger individuals. For families, the four‑pack option allows you to provide a bivy for each member, ensuring each person has a properly sized shelter.

How do I clean and maintain the bivy?

Cleaning is simple: wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris, and allow it to air dry completely before folding. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the Mylar coating. Store the bivy in a dry environment, preferably in its original packaging, to preserve its reflective properties and waterproof performance over time.

What makes the Artos bivy different from a standard emergency blanket?

Unlike generic emergency blankets, the Artos bivy combines a thick, tear‑resistant Mylar shell with a high‑efficiency reflective interior, delivering superior warmth and durability. It also includes a hooded design for head protection, an orange color for visibility, and a compact folding size that fits easily into pockets or emergency kits. These features provide a more reliable and user‑friendly solution for both planned outdoor activities and unexpected survival scenarios.
