A reusable emergency bivy bag with a polyester outer and reflective aluminised lining, in high-visibility orange. About 130 g; packs into its own pouch.

Weighs nothing. Could matter a lot.

Best for: Every day pack, first-aid kit and car, especially for walks in the Australian Alps, Tasmania and the high country.
Think twice if: It's for emergencies, not a sleeping bag. Condensation builds up inside on a long night.

Keeps heat in
The reflective lining bounces body heat back to you.

Bright orange for rescuers.
Always packed
About 130 g in a pouch, so it lives in the pack.

Questions

Is it a replacement for a PLB?

No. Carry a personal locator beacon on remote walks too. The bivy keeps you warm while help comes; the beacon brings it.

When will it arrive?

We dispatch in 1–3 business days, then it's 10–20 business days on the way to Australia. There's no warehouse or shopfront in between, which is why it takes longer and costs less. If you have a trip booked, order at least four weeks before you leave. You'll get a tracking number by email when the parcel is scanned. Full details on the Shipping page.

Will my order arrive in one parcel?

Gear from the same maker usually travels together. If your order has gear from more than one maker, it can arrive in two or three parcels, sometimes a few days apart. You'll get an email with a tracking number for every parcel, so you always know what's on the way.

Will I pay duty or GST on delivery?

No. Orders under A$1,000 clear into Australia without additional duty or GST, so there's nothing to pay when your parcel arrives.

What if it isn't right?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it unused and in its packaging. If it's faulty or doesn't match what we published, we pay the return postage and refund in full. See Returns.
