Snugpak Special Forces Bivvi Bag WGTE, Olive, Centre Zip Standard

Lightweight emergency bivvy protection with a centre zip

A lightweight bivvy bag with breathable Paratex fabric and a quick-release centre zip for emergency shelter and fast-moving mountain use.

The Snugpak Special Forces Bivvi Bag WGTE is a compact bivvy bag in Olive, with the selected Centre Zip Standard variation. It is built for situations where you need simple shelter that packs small, with breathable Paratex Dry fabric and a non-locking half-length front zip for a quick exit when needed.

Why it suits outdoor use

This bivvy bag is described as all-weather protection for hillwalking, mountaineering, adventure racing and emergency use. It is intended to help reduce heat loss while also keeping moisture moving away from the inside, so you can stay more comfortable in changeable conditions.

• Breathable Paratex Dry fabric
• Waterproof and windproof protection
• Non-locking half-length front zip for rapid exit
• Lightweight and easy to pack
• Suitable for emergency use and as part of an adventure race sleeping system

Things to keep in mind

This is a bivvy bag rather than a full sleeping bag, so it makes most sense as a simple protective layer or emergency shelter. The listing highlights light summer races and year-round adventure use, but the level of comfort you get will depend on the rest of your sleep system and the conditions you are facing.

The centre zip layout and standard size are part of the selected variation, so this version is the one to look at if that is the fit and opening style you need.
