I have a Carinthia Observer Goretex bivvi which is a fantastic bit of kit

and used in conjunction with a basha takes some beating IMO, but im toying with the idea of another sac and if this ones anything as good as the Bivvi bag it may have to be this one! Anyone know anything on it? :?:

Ill have to a review on it its my favorite bit of sleeping kit, it rolls up into a stuff sac type bag which fits into one of the side pouches in my Rucsack with room to spare and weighs very little, plenty of room inside the raised area I put a basha up over it to administer myself under and to keep my kit under im a mega fussy git and im 100% happy with this BB....

:rolmao: ill give ita whack this weekend hopefully for you :wink:
My mate has a defence 4 and highly rates it .I'm tempted by the survival down 1000 but trying to justify the expenditure when I already have 6 bags of various flavours! Love the idea of being able to wear it as a coat but would I ?
It would mean leaving my trusty sleeka at home.

Paganwolf,
That is a really nice looking bivvy!
Did you get that bivvy in the UK or import it? Do you mind giving us and idea of the price?
Do you get any problems with condensation in it?
Regards,
Pete

Thought I'd drag this one out of the depths, as I am also loking at this sleeping bag and was wondering if anyone has come across one yet.

I've had a Survival One (synthetic fill) for a decade now. I found that -35 C nights where a bit chilly this past winter, but apart from that it is still ok. A bit "big" in size for me (175 cm/80 kg), but apart from that I have no complaints. If you use the sleeves and walk around in it you can impersonate a random Dr. Who monster...
