Compact emergency cover with useful signalling features
Adventure Medical Kits says:
The Emergency Bivvy with Rescue Whistle will keep you warm and dry in an emergency. Weighing less than 4 oz. and smaller than a soda can, bivvy reflects 90% of your body heat back to you and is sealed to protect you from wind, rain, and snow. This highly visible orange bivvy features an attached tinder cord drawstring for fire starting and a survival whistle.
Our Verdict
The SOL Emergency Bivvy with Whistle is a practical addition to a safety kit, offering reliable protection in a tiny package. At 124 g, it packs down small, and the material feels far more resilient than a basic foil blanket. It effectively blocks wind and rain, and the reflective interior gives a noticeable boost in warmth when you are static.
The whistle is located on the drawstring of the storage bag rather than as a separate item, which keeps things tidy but is worth noting if you intend to use it independently. I rate it for its simplicity, compact size and clear purpose. It is easy to carry and provides dependable protection when conditions turn unexpectedly.
