Made from Paratex Dry fabric, it effectively wicks moisture while keeping you warm. Lightweight and compact, it’s perfect for emergency situations or spontaneous adventures. ## Description The Snugpak Special Forces Bivvi Bag provides protection from the elements year round with its completely waterproof construction. The Special Forces Bivvi Bag is equipped with a center half-length zip and is wider at the chest than the original Bivvi Bag. The Special Forces Bivvi Bag is also best suited for use with the Softie Antarctica or the Special Forces System. You can carry the bivvi bag on its own for emergencies, use it with a sleep system for wild camping, or with a sleeping bag and air mat for planned camping trips. The Special Forces Bivvi Bag is made of Paratex Dry fabric, a completely waterproof, durable, lightweight protective shell that is designed to keep out the elements. Paratex Dry is also windproof, which traps heat inside the bag with you to keep you warm and prevents cold air from entering the bag. Take care to not completely seal the Special Forces Bivvi Bag, because although it is breathable and wicks moisture out of the bag, sufficient air to sustain breathing cannot pass through the fabric. Water vapor from within the bag is transferred chemically to the outside of the bag due to the polyurethane coating to keep you warm and dry. The Special Forces Bivvi Bag comes with its own stuff sack and packs down to a travel-friendly 6 by 4 inches; weighs only 12 ounces. The water repellent feature of this bag can be maintained by a cool tumble dry after washing and periodic treatment with suitable water repellent products. The Special Forces Bivvi Bag is 90 inches long and 33 inches wide so that it can fit over your sleeping bag as a protective outer shell. The Special Forces Bivvi Bag will ensure you are equipped for emergency situations and will remain dry and warm even in the most unexpected weather conditions. ## Features - About this item - Made of Paratex Dry fabric, a completely waterproof, durable, lightweight protective shell that is designed to keep out the elements - The bag is windproof to trap warm air inside and keep cold air out; the fabric technology is incredibly efficient at water wicking - Comes with a stuff sack and packs down to a travel-friendly 6 inches by 4 inches; lightweight and weighs 12 ounces - Bivvi bag’s dimensions are 90 inches long by 33 inches wide; equipped with a half length center zip - Use the bivvi bag for emergency situations to keep yourself warm and dry during unexpected weather events ## Images ![Snugpak Special Forces Bivvi Bag - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71fBb1DEVYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Fine lightweight backup bivy; however this is a poor choice for tall users and there are much less expensive alternatives. *by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2015* Beware tall users! This is advertised as 220 cm in length (86.6"); however, this is laying flat (as pictured). In order for this to work as a true bivy you have to cinch down the cord that runs around the inside of the bivy's hood. This dramatically reduces the interior length, so much so that my long length mountain hardwear sleeping bag is longer than the bivy sack when the hood is cinched down. Therefore I am unable to use the bivy sack as it is intended with the cord cinched down around my head and sleeping bag hood (think how a mummy bag cinches around your face). Instead the entire top of my sleeping bag is left unprotected. This would be fine if I was using the bivy in a tent, but I purchased the bivy to allow me to sleep outdoors while providing at least moderate protection from moisture and rain. The restricted length makes this impractical. I also don't like how thin and fragile the material is. I understand that this is necessary to achieve the bivy's light weight, but a ground sheet will be required to prevent sharp rocks and sticks from cutting or rubbing through the thin bivy.Instead I find myself using my MSS woodland camo bivy (a full pound heavier) which I intended to replace with this lightweight alternative. The MSS bivy provides plenty of extra length so that I can fit excess gear or clothing that I want to keep dry down by my feet. In addition, the MSS bivy's gore tex fabric breathes better and is far more robust. I find there is less condensation in the MSS bivy after a night's sleep, even with the MSS fully closed and the snugpak wide open at the head. Finally, a brand new MSS bivy can be found for one third the price of this bivy. The one pound weight savings is outweighed in my mind by the benefits of the added length, durability, and comfort of my MSS bivy.Final Thoughts: This is great as a lightweight emergency cover for your sleeping bag (if you're 6'00" or under); however for regular use there are better options out there (check out the MSS bivy which can be purchased new for one third the price). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review from Army CPT *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020* Good product. 99% waterproof. However, some rain leaks on your face. Easily fixed by laying something waterproof over that area.Significantly lighter than the standard issue bivvy sack, but no gortex. So, not as warm.Still firmly recommend. Also, no ACU pattern, which is always a plus. ### ⭐ Small small small *by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2019* Very small and tight for big people. Shabby construction. And if it’s breathable, I will eat my hat.. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/310119469-snugpak-special-forces-bivvi-bag](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/310119469-snugpak-special-forces-bivvi-bag) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
