Thread: New Bivie bag

just got a new bivie bag , sort of a hooped one that you can shoot from .

here,s some pics , its goretex , top & bottom , with insect screens as well .

Thats not bad, where from and how much?

shit that's pretty awesome you need to get out and field test it

Whats the brand??.. Looks cool

I donot think any will be interested as its bloody dear , I mainly got it , so as to shoot from it in winter etc , I paided 400 pounds for it , it has some neat features but is really too expensive for what it is .
As to the brand , I have no idea , its called a " Observation Bivie " , and I think its been made for the military .

It has a zipped entrance , fron , and back , and has insect screens front and back .

It is goretex 100% , this means the top & the bottom are goretex , most have a goretex or similar membrane , on the top , and the bottom is not breathable , on bivies , you need both upper and bottom to have the expensive membrane , or you get wet from condensation .

Later Chris

how much dose it weigh

Yeah made for the army by carinthia

Good bit of kit by most accounts.

sometimes pop up on the uk ebay cheap from time to time.

I found those googling a couple weeks ago, bloody pricey but look like amazing bits of kit.
