Perfect piece of kit, light, small pack size. Speedy delivery. Not had the chance to try it yet.

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.

Ordered my Hunka and received it in less than 48 hours, amazing service and highly recomended. slept 4 nights in my bag and it’s been brilliant, woke up last week and everything around me was covered in heavy dew, including me and my bag, but i was bone dry and very warm. superb product and an absolute steal at the price.

At 190cm my feet often stick out from a tarp. My lovely Hunka keeps me toasty and smug even in the wetest of wet lakeland torrents. (But when can I buy my pipedream?)

Ordered my Hunka XL less than 48 hours ago and it arrived today, Alpkit kept me informed via email every step of the way with the order process, great service! Now to test out the Hunka. I’ve used military bivi bags in the past so the biggest noticeable difference straight away is the weight it really is so light this looks and feels like a great bit of kit and at £40 a real bargain. I’m 6.5” and having just climbed inside it’s plenty big enough!

spent a night on Northern Rhinogs on 24th august in my skyehigh bag and hunka bivi. the rain was torrential in the night and when i thought it could not get worse it did. seriously thought i would get soaked, but woke up in morning to find sleeping bag ever so slightly wet around hood but the rest bone dry. great bivi and unbeleivable value for money

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
