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.

impressed with my hunka. waterproof and robust but also not heavy. I wish I had gone for the hunka xl as its a bit snug if I try and fit a large sleep mat in it.

Great bits of kit.  I don’t think there is a better priced product available for the weight.  Imagine if it was made from eVENT?  It would be more expensive, granted, just as tough but even lighter!!

I can’t wait to test this bivy cover! In the Alps!

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
