I bought this Hunka to protect my ad900 whilst in my hammock. Luckily I haven’t tested its waterproofing but it worked wonderfully in very windy conditions, not a breath managed to get though. As I’m so small I could fit my 3/4 thermalite into the hunka and there was no condensation in the morning.
My only problem was that the draw cord has snagged a little, but it still works fine at the moment.
Oh, sorry its not air permeable so if you sealed it absolutely air tight it would be same as putting your head inside a plastic bag
You can pull the draw strings in as tight as you like but you’ll never get a complete seal. This is a minimalist bivi bag rather than the full Gore-Tex style replacement for a tent style.
is there anyway to stop little beasties from getting inside the bag as i prefer to leave my face open to the air?
if i was to shut it completely would i suffocate?
British company, cares about the environment, great price, fast free delivery and impressed when I recieved it - so had to try it out for size in the lounge!!! Used for a lightweight scramble over Tryfan and overnighter nearby (Mid September, damp, cloudy with odd spot of drizzle, probably 8-10 degrees C. Used with a ME firewalker One synthetic bag and full length Thermarest prolite 3. All fitted together well with the Thermarest on the INSIDE. More than warm enough (with baselayer jimjams worn to help keep the bag clean. Some condensation but not extensive - will try again with Thermarest on outside to increase breathability. Friend with similar set up but with Rab Survival Zone bivi bag had appreciably more condensation (but maybe he sweats more). So, very happy to sport my Alpkit hunka in lakes and look forward to the next colder night on Dartmoor with a down bag. Hope one of my other mates orders one double quick so he can join me - come on James it’s only £25.
Used my Hunka for the first time this w/e, primarily to bolster the performance of an old 3 season synthetic bag I was using whilst testing a 1 man tent and my new Wee Airic. The tent was crap and had to be left wide open to prevent me drowning in my own condensation (yuck!) but the Hunka was excellent. I stayed dry (and warm) all night with no trace of condensation on the inside at all. Great piece of kit!!!
Super-fast delivery. This is a quality piece of kit-seems to be hard wearing rip-stop material. (Not obvious from the pics/description). Tried it last night and stayed bone dry inside in the damp (misty rather than actual rain) with a heavy dew. Seems to be breathable enough, no noticable condensation at all, air temp was about 10 deg.c according to the met office.
Fantastic price, great bag.-Recommended. Thanks Alpkit!
Was advised to buy one of these on a forum-
Ordered it yesterday, arrived today..
Just wanted to say a massive thanks.
Can’t wait to give it a go.
Will definatly point others in this direction…
I tried mine out recently - although the weather was scorching hot in the day I had been quite cold in my tent the night before as I was only using a lightweight synthetic bag and there was only me in the tent *sob*
Anyway, I was very snug in my Hunka, the only issue I had was that my 3/4 length Thermarest is too wide (I had this long before Alpkit came along) so I might have to get a Wee Airic to go with it, and perhaps a new bag too......
Spent the night on the nantlle ridge early november found the bag to be superb keeping out the fierce wind was as snug as i could be fastning cords are ok
& as others have mentioned breath through the small gap that you leave & condensation shouldnt be a major problem .
