The bivy bags that I am familar with are usually made of goretex, and go over one's sleeping bag, or body if you do not have a sleeping bag with you. What you describes sounds very different. Is it just a large orange plastic bag? Yes, it's basically just a large coast guard orange plastic bag. richard John Fereira wrote: snip A bivy bag may also be useful. It's a large coast guard orange bag that you can climb into if you become separated from your kayak. It can be partially inflated and used for floatation, and used as a signaling device. It can be folded up and put into a pocket on your PFD. You are describing a bivy bag as used in mountaineering. I believe John is referring to some type designed for paddlers. They're not really designed for paddling. They're also called "survival bags" A link to a pic would be useful. Here's one (sorry for the wrapping) http://www.planetfear.com/product_de...s_id=579&p_id= 1819 |
