Hunka Reviews

Hi
Was just wondering when you were going to get more of these bivy bags in stock, my boyfriend and I really wanted to buy two at the outdoor show but you had none left :( they look really good, please can you get some more.

any idea when the new batch of Hunka’s will be available. I need to get one for a trip to the lakes in april. These things are like gold!

I have now used the Hunka on two Mountain Leader Trainings and two Assessments. All the snow holes where generally in good conditons, cold and dry, and the bag worked very well in these conditons.  I have found the draw cord to do up tight enough for protection within a snow-hole but it may need a little modifying outside in rain or drizzle.  I have put my Thermorest inside the bag with a 4 season sleeping bag and this is bearable but more comfy with the mat outside of the bivi bag; however this does then mean a wet mat (not so good on multi day trips) All in all a top piece of kit for 25 quid and a top delivery service.

Bought the Hunka and was amazed by the build and quality of it. I am 6ft 6 and found the hunka slightly short, also found the hunka restrictive when trying to move. I am really interested in the larger version, can a extra piece of material be attached to the open section to cover the face as the rip cord does not close tight enough. Cheers for such a awesome piece of kit

I ordered my Hunka one day and it arrived the next. I used it on two consecutive nights in conjunction with a ME Xero 350 down bag under a tarp. It was dry cold, down to -3C both nights. In the mornings, there wasn’t a trace of damp inside the bivy whilst others I was camping with, most using Hilleberg Aktos, were suffering from much condensation. A brilliant product.

Got mine a while ago, (next day delivery, brilliant!), and its been great.  Im only 5 feet 11 so no problems with fit, no condensation at all and seems to work very well!  I put my waterproof jacket over my face in the rain, no problems at all.  Excellent bit of kit! 

Just thought I’d comment on Alpkits excellent delivery service, next day delivery.

Having only chucked it out on the floor at home I cannot comment on it’s performance, but it looks to be a simple, well-made product.  I will be using it in Scotland next week, whilst snow-holing, so will post better feedback after that.

I am interested in whether a hood/shield could be added with little increase to price or work-load?

I am currently working on a Hunka XT. First samples should be ready some time in March. Fingers crossed we’ll have one at the outdoors show for the bigger folks among us to wriggle into and ensure we are on the right lines for size. Cheers, Jim.

Bag seems good. When used with my AD 500 it is a bit restrictive and the bag doesn’t loft. Seems this bag is only made for whippet shaped people. Make a biger one and i’ll buy it.

I’ve just used the hunka for a week in the wilderness and although very well made and waterproof I found it a bit restrictive. I am a big lad and my down bag was restricted and could not fully loft so if you guys make a bigger version I would be interested.
