Adventure Medical Thermo-Lite 2.0 Bivvy Sack

The 6.5oz Adventure Medical Thermo-Lite 2 Bivvy provides an emergency shelter for day trips that run a little long, and it can even replace your sleeping bag in warm weather. This water-resistant bivy sack gives you insulation similar to a 50F sleeping bag, so you can bring it alone on ultralight overnight trips in the summer. The Thermo-Lite 2 nylon material holds in heat and fights off moist weather during an un-planned overnight stay in the backcountry.

Bottom Line: Be prepared for an unexpected night out with the Adventure Medical Thermo-Lite 2 Bivvy.

Backcountry Back-up

By: Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete
October 17, 2008

A must have for your backcountry kit. Extremely light and packs tight. A must have for anyone venturing into the wilderness for an adventure. The weight is negligible, and the added safety it provides is beyond comparison. This is a necessary back-up to carry in your pack, along with a headlamp, to give you more of a chance in a dire situation. I never leave home without it- whether ski touring, day hiking, multi-pitch climbing etc.

Write your question here...I've already gotten the Adventure

Write your question here...I've already gotten the Adventure Medical Emergency Bivy Sack. It's strictly for emergency use only, as part of my 10 Essentials. Is this better enough to spring for it as an upgrade, or is what I have good enough? I'm collecting 10 essentials for my boyfriend, who is starting to join me on the trails, and wasn't sure if I should shell out extra cash for this item, or repeat the one I have.

What you have is good enough. Since it is for emergency use, the two are not that much different.

What is the lowest temp that this would keep you warm if you

What is the lowest temp that this would keep you warm if you were also using a fleece throw with it?

It's rated to 50 degrees F by itself. I think you could get another 10 degrees lower when used in conjunction with the fleece.

Good Stuff

By:
July 29, 2008

Just what I needed. I do a bit of long distance traveling by motorcycle which limits what I carry and the small size of this is perfect for space saving. It sleeps well on a bed of leaves or pine needles and in summer weather is just right. Only complaint is the side seam ripped the first time I used it, adds a little more ventilation and still has many more nights of use before retirement. It should last the entire summer as it is only used occasionally, 5 times so far.

"Water resistant"-- is that less than water "proof"?

"Water resistant"-- is that less than water "proof"? We camp on a beach in Hawaii every summer-- don't need so much warmth as a way to keep our bags dry in a rain at night.

Water resistant is water resistant. It will hold up to most rain, but a heavy rain will eventually get through the material. If you just want water proof, go to a hardware store and buy a tarp or (if you want light weight) a clear plastic painter's drop cloth.Given the chance, rain will eventually penetrate any lightweight material including DWR & PTFE.

Caught Out

By:
November 25, 2008

I got caught out on a cold mountian one night. My little space blanket just happened to be in my bag by chance. Making it through the night, my bag have not been without a space blanket. I tryed this one out this year. It's the best I've ever seen, It doesn't fall apart after a couple of hours and it can be rolled back up into the little bag.

Hi. Is the material on this bivy breathable? I'm looking to use as a cover to extend my sleeping range or as an emergency shelter in a pinch. Thanks. CDL

It is not super breathable, as it is water resistant and meant to hold in warmth.No it is not.

A.M. 2.0 Bivy

By:
March 30, 2009

This is not a replacement for your 50 degree sleeping bag. It is an "Oh Sh!t" back up for when you have to spend the night out. Knowing that, this thing is great. It is light enough to always bring along and sturdy enough to use more than once. This is way better than the blanket, dont waste your time with that thing, buy this, throw it in your pack and travel with piece of mind.

My daughter is going to World Youth Day in Australia in July.

My daughter is going to World Youth Day in Australia in July. They will spend one night on the ground at the festival site. We are looking to minimize luggage. Will she be warm enough with this and a sweat shirt and sweat pants?

No, it can get pretty cold in Sydney in July.--------------------------------------------------utopia_par2009710 is straight on target. Our winter is their Summer and vice a versa, Only at the Equator is the weather the same, dry season, rainy season. Between the tropics it is more temperate, but you can find yourself surprised by sometimes rapid weather changes. I would recommend the following link: http://www.cultureandrecreation.gov.au/articles/weather/ ; they are not tourist based and reliable.Again, HAVE FUN,GregTake along a performance base layer just to be sure.
