- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 March 2011This is so much better than the plastic survival bags. It's tiny - almost the same diameter as a toilet roll inner tube but only 3/4 as long so it immediately saves space in your rucksack. It also only weighs 3.8oz/108g so is very lightweight.
Using space technology the metalised inner reflects back up to 90% of your body heat. The waterproof stuff sack is also excellent quality and large enough to put some extra survial items in. The stuff sack is about twice as tall again so plenty of room for some mini mars bars. There's a draw string closure and toggle so there are plenty of ways you can carry/store it.
The unfolded dimensions are 84"x36" or 213cmx91cm.
Highly recommended.
I've just noticed that the new packaging does differ from the old stock amazon photo. 3.8oz is the new weight (3.5oz on غ photo).
Update
On use this tears easily to create small holes. It's not going to keep you 100% waterproof on a wet, windy night on a rocky surface. It does its job adequately and fits back in its small, durable lining really well.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2018I'm sort of torn with this item, as to whether it's feasible to give it a positive review without having actually 'used it'. However, the beauty of this item is that I've carried it a ton of times since purchase and very happy with it.
The specs / stats are all there to see quite how small this is, as well as the wee protective bag it comes in. It's not massively smaller than your typical 'survival bag' but seems lighter and in a more compact shape, contained in a nice bag. The shape, weight and dimensions have left me to generally just chuck this in my bag whenever I'm going on a walk that necessitates a water bottle, some snack and a water proof.
It's probably overkill, for most things I'm doing, but it's nice to have there in case needed. I guess a good, non-emergency example of use was during Summer Solstice up Snowdon. Watching the sunrise with a group, one of of the members hadn't come prepared with enough warm gear and was finding the exposure, waiting for the sunrise on the summit, a little
too much. Her survival bag gave her the warmth she needed to endure rather than having to head down. I'm by no means advocating these work to replace suitable kit / gear but it's always good to have a back up option.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2016For the size, weight and minimal cost of this item I feel this is an essential buy for anyone to carry in a car or on walks. Though I've luckily not needed to test it out but it looks and feels it will do as claimed by the manufacturer.
I purchased mine from Race and Adventure kit, having bought two of these the price was the cheapest of all the other غ vendors as well as غ themselves, their service and communications were impeccable and delivery ultra fast.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2014Does the job nicely although I do hope to never need it.
Have only tested it in the garden, both on its own and as a sleeping bag liner. On it's own is handy maybe during the warmer months but would want something more substantial when colder. As a sleeping bag liner then it did add a noticeable amount of warmth.
I will just end up keeping it my rucksack for when I go hiking, as it's lightweight and packs small so doesn't add any further weight or bulk.
Overall a very handy piece of kit and will come in very handy in an emergency.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2020Ive a few of these and use this product for search and rescue. Its been used a couple of times and is much tougher than a foil blanket and smaller and lighter than a plastic survival bag.
Whilst the cost is higher than the order options, if weight and size is important then this is a good option.
The bag is big enough to repack with no problem.
It may get some holes in if used for some time on rough ground, but it can be used a couple of times if needed.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2015Good value light and small. It now lives iteh pocket of my paraglider rucksack and travels with me when I fly in case I land out in a remote area with a long walk out or hurt myself . Gives real peace of mind!
All adventurers should have one.
I have not yet needed to use it so cannot comment on comfort - but i like the fact it is light and compact and I can just forget I am carrying it !
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2024I bought this based on the reviews which was highly rated. Initial impressions once opened, it looks exactly the same as other similar products at a third or half of the price. It doesn't look as strong as the hype suggests so I now need to put it to the test. Hoping to use in summer as a sleeping bag with liner but not sue at this stage it will take multiple uses.
On a positive it is lighter than any emergency bag I have so will replace the older versions of plastic emergency ones. I suspect it will do the job for one or two emergencies. But still expensive compared to competitors. Tempted to buy a cheap one to compare!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2010Whilst I luckily haven't had to use this product for real yet, it already looks like it will be leaps and bounds better than my previous survival bag. My last survival bag (which was about twenty years old) was a big heavy plastic item which took up tons of room in my rucksack. This one takes up a minute amount of space and is therefore for 99% of the time much more practical. As I say I haven't had to use it for real so I would rely on others comments in terms of it's practicality there, but for everyday use to put in your bag in case of emergency its worked well for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sac de couchage d'urgence (1 place)
Le Bivvy de la marque SOL est un sac de couchage d'urgence, fin comme une couverture de survie mais en forme de sac pour s'y glisser tout en conservant davantage la chaleur. De plus, il est réutilisable et plus solide.
Il existe en version 1 place : https://amzn.to/2LIkU5d
ou en version 2 places : https://amzn.to/3e3RpXz
Il est ultra léger et ultra compact, rien à voir avec un sac de couchage classique. Evidement, c'est un équipement de survie et non de confort ! Vous passerez certainement une mauvaise nuit mais vous passerez la nuit. :) Pour plus de confort il faudra le compléter avec un sac de couchage classique ou léger et enfiler les deux.
J'aime sa couleur orange afin de pouvoir être vu en cas d'urgence (et c'est justement sa fonction car en camping on privilégiera un sac de couchage ordinaire plus lourd et volumineux).
Le packaging est en anglais et en français (c'est assez appréciable !) et donne quelques conseils d'utilisation.
Je l'ai acheté pour me constituer un kit d'abri de secours transportable dans un sac à dos, composé comme ceci :
- 12 sardines orange : https://amzn.to/2LLI7Dv ou https://amzn.to/3e3ScrA
- Bâche DD Hammocks 3x3m dotée de points de fixation : https://amzn.to/36gejIm (il existe aussi un modèle 40% plus léger mais plus cher : https://amzn.to/2LLjir7 )
- 2 bâtons télescopiques DD Hammocks (servant de mâts à la bâche) : https://amzn.to/2LFPH2x
- Cordelettes pour fixer la bâche à des arbres : https://amzn.to/3e1fez3 ou https://amzn.to/2WMtoyt
- 1 ou 2 sacs de couchage de survie orange de la gamme Bivvy : https://amzn.to/2LIkU5d (version 1 place) ou https://amzn.to/3e3RpXz (version 2 places)

5.0 out of 5 stars I pro e i contro
Buon prodotto, leggero e utile in caso di emergenza: sarà sempre nel mio zaino.
Apprezzo moltissimo il servizio che غ dà ai suoi clienti, ma finirò col rinunciarci e con me molti altri se non migliorerà il rapporto di غ con i suoi dipendenti: qualità globale è anche questo.

This is not S.O.L. original brand, it's a cheap fake. Poor quality and damaged, can see two finger prints with coating damaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un accesorio imprescindible en actividades al aire libre
Una evolución de la manta térmica de supervivencia. 108 gramos de peso y unas dimensiones de 7 cm. de alto por 6 de diámetro plegado, y desplegado 90x210 cm.
Ideal para un imprevisto, como funda de vivac o como protección de un accidentado.
Su color naranja facilita la visibilidad.
No esta pensado para un uso continuado sólo es para una emergencia o un uso ocasional.
Frente a la tradicional manta térmica tiene la ventaja de ofrecer más protección, al tratarse de un saco no tiene el inconveniente de envolverse como con la manta con lo que se evita las perdidas de calor por los diferentes pliegues.
El saco no tiene cremallera sólo una abertura por uno de los extremos.
Yo lo utilizo en travesías de montaña en entornos nevados, aunque forma parte permanente de mi botiquín en cualquier actividad al aire libre.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE SOL PRODUCTS
To say these units are superior to old style space blankets is like saying that light is brighter than dark.
I have used space blankets, and equipped my preparedness kits, survival kits, and bush gear with such for over two decades now. I had the SOL products recommended to me and am so glad I was. I don't know where to begin when it comes to the superiority of this product over old style ones.
From blankets to bivies they thought this stuff out. I ordered blankets, one person, and two person bivies and have already ordered more. Let me start with the packaging this company uses.
The blankets come in a durable, larger than the blanket, resealable ziplock style bag. The bivies are in a drawstring cloth like bag that is around twice the size of the bivy. Now, to me, this shows forethought. It is clear that it might be hard to get a blanket or bivy folded exactly into the manufacturer size after use;anyone who has use one of these sorts of things knows that. Making the bags that hold these things both durable and larger means it will be easy to get them back contained for reuse.
The material is softer, more durable, and far less noisy (crinkle crinkle of the old style ones ring bells for anyone?) than the old style. I have tried them out already and love their capabilities in all those areas.
I also like that one side is metallic and the other is blaze orange. This gives many more options.
Flat out, I love them. I am ordering enough to not only replace all my current space blankets in all survival, first aid, and prep kits.
I highly recommend them.
