Nice review but they are for different things. The SOL Escape bivy is for emergency scenarios and not backpacking or camping. The MSS was made as a real shelter rather then an emergency shelter. It was still a good review but people just need to keep in mind that they were designed for different purposes.

Hi Lucas H, how can you know ahead of time that when you are on a backpacking trip that you’re not going to run into an emergency situation? I’ve had the SOL Escape for years and I always take on my outdoor adventures. I believe it’s an emergency when the weather is forecast to be in the 50s but drops down into the 30s. There are no rules, restrictions, or specific times of use in the literature for this product. However, I do agree that there was no reason to compare it with the MSS.

I modified the SOL Escape by cutting down the middle to about 2.5 feet from the foot. Then turned it over and use it as a top quilt. I have use it with down pants and put it on when my legs got cold and I instantly felt the warmer. The Sol Escape blocks wind and reflects my body heat. I layer up with down pants/jacket, 40 degree down top quilt, and SOL Escape bivy (as a top quilt) in my hammock. I use a full length underquilt under my hammock.

In the market for an affordable ultra light bivvy just to have in case things get sketchy under the tarp. Appreciate the detailed informative video. Gave a like for being a fellow 5'8"er and just saying you are 5'8" as opposed to "a little under 6 foot" or the like :)

Great review, thanks. Going to order one this month. Up here in Canada everyone should keep a few in their vehicles. Years back a 'lady' driver down shifted and missed a gear or two, ahem. Blew the transmission. Middle of winter, on the highway, her and her boyfriend wearing lite clothing. That's why I wear longjohns. They could have really used these. Cheers from Canada.

I would like to see more reviews done like this. 45 degrees does make a difference. I bet this would be possibly warmer if you used a ust tarp/blanket as lean to over the sol. Bivy reflects heat inside while ust would reflect heat towards the bivy from above. Just my thoughts

what was the lightweight sleeping bag you used as a liner inside the Bivy

@BURNWOODBUSHCRAFT

3 жыл бұрын

That sleeping bag is the green lightweight patrol bag that is part of the 3 piece set that is the Military Modular Sleep System.

Would this be a good bag for a month long moped trip? Or would it be better to get something heavier like a mil-tec bivy bag? Can this replace sleeping in a tent and just sleep out in the open? I am used to sleeping in a little rain with no bivy bag, just sleeping bag.
