great bag got me through a couple of mountain storms last summer, only slight issue is the black seam with the cord inside it is not a water proof material so in the rain when its pulled tight its difficult to seal it completely as the edges soak up a bit of water even if the hole is held closed. Minor issue meaning damp hands in heavy rain thats all though.
Cheers,
Rob

Incredibly quick delivery to the US, looks like a bomber bag can’t wait to test it in a snow cave in the Canadian Rockies this winter.

Initially, not impressed with communication. There was a problem with their payment system, and mine didn’t go through. After a couple of weeks, I’d had no contact so I phoned to ask why I’d not received my order.
They called me back within minutes and explained the situation, though didn’t say why they’d not been in touch to let me know why they’d not proceeded with the transaction. They took payment again, and the next day I received it.
Delighted with the bivvy bag, Packs down to a tiny bundle. Seems a high quality product

Great piece of kit. Seriously light, seriously small pack size. Some speedy delivery too. Fit is good as I’m a lanky bugger. Not had the chance to try it yet.

Irish Buyer.I was looking for a long time a Bivvy bag that I could use with confidence in an emergency. The Hunka XL ticks all the boxes. I am a recent member of a Mountain Rescue team and several seasoned members swear by it. I Have been out twice this November and I’m very happy with it. I normally sleep very hot so the Breathability of the bag is very important. On both nights with rain and without rain the bag worked well. One small improvement I would suggest is to incorporate a hoop in the draw cord. I added this modification and if you place the bag with you head into the wind you are almost assures of a dry face. . Finally great service form Alpkit

Not had a chance to test it out yet. going to be taking it to the andes for five months after christmas….

however, ordered late sunday night, arrived 0830 on tuesday morning…. cant ask for more than that!

looks well built. attached stuff sack is great as i cant lose it or have difficulty holding onto it in the cold.

all in all looks great! will let you know how it goes!

Fancied some good walks without the weight of a tent.  Purchased the Hunka XL as I am a bit larger than many walkers.  Bivied out on the South Downs, Brecon Beacon and Snowdonia.  1st class plenty of room, stayed dry and looking forward to further adventures.  Would recommend to anyone as I cant think what more money would do to improve what is a great product.

Features at a glance

  • Waterproof - Yes, the fabric has a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, basically like your tents groundsheet
  • Breathable - Yes, the fabric has a moisture vapour permeability (MVP) of 10,000g/m2/24hr
  • Low weight and bulk - We weighed 10 and the average was 388g
  • Integral stuff pocket - On the base of the bag is a mesh bag that you stuff the bivvy bag into, so no stuffsack to lose
  • Dual drawcord - You can close from either side or both so suitable for left and right handers and if you sleep on your front as I do then no toggle to press into your chest bone
  • Hooded design - Although lighter, some of the more basic bivi bags don't offer quite the same usabilty. The hood design allows you to overlap the opening making it more weather proof, however this design only has a drawcord so in heavy and direct rain you may get wet. The shaped hood is also good in snowy bivis where loose snow tries to get in your bag all the time
