{"product_id":"snugpak-special-forces-bivvi-bag","title":"Snugpak Special Forces Bivvi Bag WGTE","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Snugpak Special Forces Bivvi Bag WGTE is a lightweight waterproof sleeping bag cover built to protect a sleeping system from rain, wind and ground moisture during fast-moving field use, bushcraft and emergency survival. Small and light enough to live permanently in a rucksack, it adds a dependable layer of weather protection to almost any sleep setup, with or without a sleeping bag inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag is made from Paratex Dry, a breathable 100% nylon fabric with a 100% waterproof 5000mm hydrostatic head coating and fully taped seams, so it keeps weather out while moving moisture away from the sleeping system at a rate of 7.5 litres per square metre per 24 hours. A non-locking half-length zip runs down the centre front, allowing rapid entry and exit when speed matters, and it is the feature that sets this bivvi apart from the standard version. It comes in Standard (340g) and Extra Long (400g) sizes, in Olive Green, Black and Coyote Tan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#fff8e6;border-left:4px solid #b8860b;padding:12px 16px;margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Although the Paratex Dry fabric is breathable, Snugpak bivvi bags use a solid waterproof coating and sufficient air cannot pass through the fabric to sustain breathing. To prevent suffocation, never seal the bivvi bag completely; always maintain adequate airflow.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#f4f6f8;border-left:4px solid #cf632e;padding:12px 16px;margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhich bivvi, and what does it pair with?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both Snugpak bivvi bags use the same Paratex Dry fabric, the same 5000mm hydrostatic head and the same fully taped seams, so they shed weather identically. The difference is the zip, and it decides which sleeping bag each one suits. This Special Forces version opens on a half-length zip at the centre front, matching the centre zips on the \u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/snugpak-special-forces-1-sleeping-bag\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSpecial Forces 1\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/snugpak-special-forces-2-sleeping-bag\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSpecial Forces 2\u003c\/a\u003e, so both openings sit in the same place and you get in and out from the front.
