Snugpak Stratosphere 1 Person Shelter 5000mm Waterproof Olive Bivy

Description

Product Overview

The Snugpak Stratosphere is a purpose‑built one‑person bivy shelter designed for the most demanding outdoor conditions. Its outer shell is crafted from 50D rip‑stop nylon that has been treated with a 5000 mm waterproof polyurethane coating, ensuring that rain, snow, and wind are kept out while the fabric remains breathable. The floor is made from a heavier 210 t nylon layer with an 8000 mm coating, providing an additional barrier against moisture from the ground. The shelter’s structure relies on lightweight aluminum poles with screw‑lock tips, which can be assembled quickly without tools and remain sturdy in high winds. A full‑length side zip grants easy access and ventilation, while a roll‑away No‑See‑Um mosquito net protects the headspace from insects. All seams are taped and sealed, and a basic repair kit is included for on‑the‑go fixes.

Usage

Designed for solo adventurers, the Stratosphere excels in a variety of scenarios. Whether you are embarking on a backcountry hike, setting up a temporary base during a hunting trip, or preparing for an emergency shelter situation, this bivy offers the protection and comfort needed to rest safely. Its compact packed size—12 inches long by 5 inches wide—and weight of just 2.5 pounds make it ideal for inclusion in ultralight backpacks, while the free‑standing design allows rapid deployment on uneven terrain. The breathable head canopy reduces condensation, making it suitable for multi‑day treks in humid environments. The included mosquito net ensures a bug‑free night in summer, and the robust waterproofing keeps you dry in winter storms.
