Highlander Hawk 1-Person Bivi Bag, lightweight, waterproof and breathable

Highlander Hawk 1-person bivy bag for lightweight overnight shelter

A compact 1-person bivy bag from Highlander with ripstop fabric, taped seams and a 5,000mm hydrostatic head.

The Highlander Hawk Bivi Bag is built for solo nights outdoors when you want something lighter and smaller than a tent. It uses AB-Tex Trimax polyester pongee ripstop with a laminate PU coating, with taped seams to help keep out moisture.

The bag is designed for one person and opens out to 250 x 90 x 50 cm. Packed away, it measures 37 x 12 x 12 cm and weighs 0.95 kg, which makes it easier to carry in a rucksack than bulkier shelter options.

Features that matter on the hill

• Ripstop fabric with PU coating for a waterproof and breathable construction
• Taped seams to help keep the bivy watertight
• 5000mm hydrostatic head as stated by the manufacturer
• Two water-resistant zips for easier getting in and out
• Mesh waterproof screen so you can keep some visibility while lying inside
• Wire-supported face frame to hold the screen away from your head

What to expect from the size and layout

The internal space is intended to fit a sleeping bag and mat, so it works as a simple solo shelter rather than a roomy sleeping system. The compact packed size will suit hikers, mountaineers and campers who want to keep kit weight and bulk down.

For anyone comparing bivy bags, the Hawk sits in the straightforward end of the market: one-person use, compact carry, and weather-focused construction without extra complexity.
