I bought this as my first bivvy, and used it last week . . . fabulous. A great night’s sleep, comfortable, warm, dry (even though the condensation all around me was appalling) and brilliant value. I’ll be using this a hell of a lot! Thanks, guys. Excellent service as always.

I’ve had three nights out now in my Hunka including one very wet evening on Buckden Pike; it’s an outstanding piece of kit. Fantastic value and usual excellent Alpkit service - keep up the good work guys!

Nice bivy cover. I would definitely suggest a bug net. It would made a world of difference in a world of black flies. Cheers, Mr. Portage

Just got my Hunka and can’t wait to use it, especially in the light of further internet browsing: my 380g bivy bag’s 10,000mm Hydrostatic Head totally blows my 1600g Gelert Solo tent’s 1,500mm out of the water!

Used my Hunka XL in anger for the first time this weekend. Slept comfortably through one night of ‘proper’ Lake District rain and only got slightly damp where some drips got into the opening. Really impressed with the breathability - pit remained bone dry throughout. Nice one alpkit!

I bought it last year and used it last summer in the Pyrenees, on the HRP. I’m really satisfied of this product : really waterproof (you could say “stormproof”), really breathable (even with the head inside the bag).
Just two regrets :
- a little too small for me (I’m 188 cm), so if you plan a tall size, tell me.
- a bugnet ?
It would be PERFECT

That was me at the top of Leith Hill on Saturday morning at 6.45am. I’ve never slept in that long; probably because I’ve not been that comfortable before in a bivvy. But the combination of the Hunka XL and hipflask of Jack Daniels did the trick. Although I’m a shortie (but not a dwarf: no offence dwarfs and elfs),I found the previous Hunka too tight: the XL was more like sleeping in a tent, albeit a small one, like a TN Laser. Very impressed: small changes, massive difference. Vive La Alpkit! ZZZzzzzz…

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
