Bivy bags / sleeping bag covers

Looking for a hiking shelter that's much lighter and more compact than a traditional tent? Discover our sleeping bag covers and bivy bags available for your minimalist survival adventures!

Sleeping bag covers: extra warmth with minimal bulk

The sleeping bag cover, also known as a bivy bag, bivi, or bivvy, is a true alternative to the traditional hiking tent. While bivy bags don't offer the same level of protection as a tent, they have a major advantage: their extremely lightweight design! Even the lightest tent in the world can't compete with the ultra-light weight of bivy bags, which are barely noticeable at the bottom of your hiking backpack, tucked between your water bottle and rain gear! A sleeping bag cover is a sleeping solution with minimal bulk that helps you stay warmer and provides extra insulation, so you can sleep comfortably even without a classic shelter. But a bivy is not just an alternative survival shelter-far from it: it can also be combined with your tent for extra warmth, acting as an emergency layer if the cold suddenly sets in during your bivouac!

The bivy bag: an improvised survival shelter

While a bivy bag is a minimalist and lightweight way to add warmth inside your sleeping bag, it can become a true emergency shelter when paired with a tarp. Again, you save on weight and bulk-even compared to an ultralight tent! With your telescopic poles or even your own trekking poles, tarp, sleeping bag, cover, and mat, you're ready for a comfortable bivouac without overloading your hiking backpack with a full shelter kit.

For reliable protection, choose a sleeping bag cover!

The sleeping bag cover is the ideal extra layer of protection for your bivouac trips. Waterproof, water-resistant, and breathable, the bivy bag will give you increased protection against rain and ground moisture! But the sleeping bag cover doesn't just protect against rain: it also shields you from the wind, making it the ultimate bivouac accessory. The bivy is shaped to fit your sleeping bag along its entire length, completely preventing wind from getting inside your sleeping bag. Plus, with its low profile, it can't be blown away by a gust of wind! The sleeping bag cover is an accessory that enhances your bivouac gear, improving both comfort and protection.
