      Comments about SOL Thermal Bivvy:

      Used SOL bivvy with and without silk liner bag as ultralight sub pound summer sleep system. Some wind protection, marginally warmer than foil survival blanket due to fibrous layer inside. Condensation very noticeable, soaks into fiber layer despite foot vent, adding to cold. For this purpose have switched to expensive down quilt plus breathable water resistant bivy for total 1.5 pounds (3x heavier, 13x price of SOL) which provides much greater warmth, zero condensation, full suspended-off-face enclosure, bug protection and variable temp adjustments, optionally supplemented with a 0.5 lbs tarp/poncho. Still carry traditional foil survival blanket on all outings of any length, much more compact than SOL bivvy. In first aid situation, bivvies can be hard to get around immobile patient and reduce access to body, hence favor blankets and zip open bags.

        Comments about SOL Thermal Bivvy:

        I carry this thing even when I go to school. It comes with a nice stuff sack that has spare room to fit a fire starter, a compass and a pocket knife. I haven't used it in a real emergency but I tested it once and I feel better knowing that I have it in my pack or car all the time.
