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

Well three of us stayed at the lake on Cadair Idris last weekend under a tarp, as you can guess it rained and the wind howled, woke up in the morning dry as a bone. Thanks Alpkit for a great product.

Just received a Hunka by recorded delivery - less than 48 hours after placing the order. Was informed at each step - processing, despatch etc - and a nice, handwritten note tucked in thanking me for the purchase. Simple stuff, but great customer service and much appreciated.

Great piece of kit. Standard Hunka is plenty big enough for normal sized people (five-ten and no longer skinny). I’d recommend this one rather than the XL - as then you might feel obligated to share it with your beardy mate in an emergency. And at this price and weight, she can buy her own.

Just wish I’d bought it BEFORE spending a night high on the Dent D’Orlu in shorts….....

Australian buyer here - WOW - received my Hunka XL in record time fro Alpkit and it is a nice piece of kit and will be using on the south coast track in Tassie in Dec this year as an emergency bivi but for those considering purchasing it as a primary piece of kit you will be pleasantly suprised. I am 6’4 and it has plenty of space to fit those larger sleeping systems and Avatar body sizes (which is often a challenge when purchasing kit as fellow Avatars will no doubt agree). So thinking of using this company for online purchases? - go for it - great friendly service, quality kit and fast delivery, what more do you want. Cheers Andy (Tasmania, Australia) grin

Ordered my sons Hunka on Sunday, dispatched on Monday and received on Tuesday. Thanks Ben for the speedy service, will leave feedback after the weekend after our overnight on Cadair Idris.

Many thanks.

Slept out in 3 hours of heavy rain last weekend. Stayed dry, and no condensation. Fared better than my son in his military surplus bivvy.

Took delivery of my Hunka through a friend, great value for money. My Mountain Equipment Starlight IV fits perfectly,it packs down into its stuff pack a treat no bigger than my MytiPot, I am so impressed so far I’m going to order one for my son as well. We will be using them next week for an overnite on Cadair Idris so will let you know how they performs.

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
