Coming from the German Swiss term Beiwacht (bei by, and wacht watch or patrol) the proper term for this item is is biv·ou·ac (/ˈbivo͞oˌak/) but most know it as the Bivy. When inclement weather catches you off guard, or your quick stay in the woods doesn't require a tent, the Bivy fills in the gap as a quick-to-deploy rudimentary shelter.

By the grace of the fabric gods, this Bivvy features a construction out of good 'ol PTFE Gore-Tex. This is extremely advantageous for a bivy, where weight and breathability are top priority. Unlike some t bivy bags, the Dutch opted for a single hoop-pole to give you and your gear extra room to hunker down, making it a bit of a tent-bivy hybrid.

Curiously, you'll find large bands on the outside bottom of the bivy cover — apparently the Dutch believe that a sleeping pad should not only have a way to be secured to the bivy but have it be on the outside. Your guess is as good as ours. 

On dry days, it features a mosquito net so you can enjoy your stay in the bivy while being able to vent a lot more heat. 

But rest assured, the Dutch build their gear well and this is no exception. It's not often you get an entire sleeping solution made with Gore-Tex, even when it's as minimalist as this.

  • Weight: 3.2 lbs total (stakes not included - get titanium ones for the min-maxing weight savings experience).
  • Length: 87" or ~ 220cm. Perfect for a Dutch person, or a normal person with extra gear.

  • Single hoop pole included with every Bivy
  • Zip-open mosquito net near main fly for dry days

Condition

Bivy's are in excellent to like-new condition, with only minor signs of use present.

Long lost LOVE!
This is my absolute favorite outdoor tanning product so far! I purchased this for the first time during a vacation out of state and fell in love with the formula. It is a dry oil, so your skin is left smooth and silky - not sticky or slick. There is no SPF, so I do recommend using this when you've already developed a good base tan. I find that it is not as heavy feeling as similar formulas with SPF. The fragrance is the classic tropical Australian Gold scent that smells just as good hours after applying and is non-offensive. There are instant natural bronzers in this product thanks to the black walnut shell extract which provides a great glow after applying. The formula also boasts a "Colorboost Maximizer to speed up the tanning process. One of the ingredients: Tyrosine, is responsible for this claim. Tyrosine is an amino acid that melanin (responsible for the pigment of your skin) is made from. The formula also states melanin as an ingredient so the idea is to boost your skins natural ability to produce melanin, which is then darkened by your skin's reaction to UV Rays, thus speeding up your tan. Carrot root extract is another ingredient which is a great antioxidant for skin protection - and Vitamin E is obviously fabulous for skin. The best part: NO MINERAL OIL - so your skin can breathe and soak up nutrients, NOT pore clogging oils! Obviously this isn't a miracle product - but what it is is an affordable, reasonable outdoor tanning product that had some thought put into its formula for your skin's benefit. I believe it does boost my skin's natural ability to pick up color from the sun. And the light formula and great scent doesn't hurt! I absolutely can NOT find this product locally, so when I ran out of my first bottle I was so happy to find it on Amazon. Worth a try if you're looking for a reliable LIGHT outdoor tanning product that smells great!

Best bronzing sunscreen ever!
I have been using this for 5+ years and highly recommend it. It goes on easy, doesn’t leave streaks or a greasy film, smells so good. I apply when doing yard work, sitting by the pool, attending outdoor activities etc. and have always get a beautiful bronze tan.

Mom tested for 30+ years
1st I would like to clarify about the comments on the sprayer not working, I see the confusion and it works just fine u have to twist the nozzle a few times in no specific way. There are no instructions but just play w it eventually it'll spray The product itself is great for a little extra sun. It smells good, pleasant and not over bearing. Its oily but once you run it in it u have no idea it's on. I actually will put on too much cuz I prefer to know its on my skin. I have a nice even tan, my palms arnt tanned *idk if thats a common issue for things like this but I was worried about that and in case anyone else is, the answer is no* Love it, I always remember seeing this in my moms bathroom or when we go to the beach so I tried it. She's a sun God and at 56 has very nice skin. Not like a leather couch at all. She's always had very soft beautiful skin.
