The Vuno Austere bivy bag tent offers a lightweight shelter solution for solo hikers and campers who value portability. At just 820 grams, this bivvy bag provides ample protection from the elements, while freeing up valuable pack space. Whether you are trekking through the wilderness or setting up an emergency overnight camp, this bag keeps things simple and effective.

Why Choose the Vuno Austere Bivy Bag?

Unlike standard bivvy bags, the Vuno Austere features supportive hoops at both ends. These hoops help maintain the bag’s shape, allowing water to shed off easily while maximising interior space. The structure provides better headroom, helping you stay comfortable throughout the night.

Durable, Waterproof Design

The bottom layer is made from 210D oxford cloth, which is both waterproof and durable. This robust material protects you from damp ground, ensuring a dry and restful sleep. For added resilience, the top layer of the bivvy bag is crafted from water-resistant polyester fiber, allowing water to flow off the sides efficiently.

Quality Sealed Seams and Stitching

To enhance water resistance, all seams are reinforced with silicon tape, preventing leaks in challenging weather. This design feature, paired with sturdy stitching, ensures that the bivy bag lasts for years of outdoor adventures. The high-quality stitching contributes to the bag’s longevity and reliability in adverse conditions.

Enhanced Breathability and Insect Protection

This bivvy bag includes a yarn mesh inner door, which keeps bugs out while allowing airflow. In milder weather, the outer door can remain open, reducing condensation and keeping the interior comfortable. This thoughtful design enhances the bivy’s usability across different climates.

Recommended Accessories

To maximise comfort, we recommend pairing the Vuno Austere bivy with an ultralight air mattress (not included). This combination offers greater insulation and comfort, especially in colder conditions.

Advantages and Disadvantages of a Bivvy Bag

Advantages: Bivvy bags are smaller, lighter, and offer more flexibility than traditional tents. They’re easier to set up in narrow spaces, helping hikers avoid delays. Additionally, bivi bags can boost sleeping bag warmth by retaining body heat.

Disadvantages: Bivy bags offer less space and may feel cramped to some users. While they provide essential protection, they may lack the full weather resistance of larger tents. Condensation can be an issue, especially in humid climates.

Usage Tips

Consider using a lightweight groundsheet beneath the bivy to manage moisture and prevent condensation. This helps maintain a drier interior during wet weather conditions.
