: Expand a little on this bivy bag. 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? I forgot to mention in the previous post. The primary advantage of the orange survival bag to the kind of bivy bag you're talking about is that the former is small enough that you can put it in a pocket in your PFD. If you've got a fancy gortex bivy bag it would likely be packed in with your sleeping bag which won't help if you capsize and become separated from your boat. When considering safety gear think of what you would need if you became separated from your boat and carry it in your PFD. |
