Penguin Reflexion Bivy

  
  
  
  


This bivy was inspired by the Emperor penguins of Antarctica which are able to withstand brutually cold winter weather and cold due to their aerodynamic shape and built in insulation which traps their body heat. Made entirely from Sympatex Reflexion, a 3-layer fabric with a specially engineered “waterproof breathable” silver reflective inner membrane, the Penguin bivy will trap and reflect back body heat and add dramatically to the warmth of the sleep system.

Designed for winter or high altitude use, the Penguin can also be used as a rescue bivy. Stiffened shape keeps fabric away from face and allows for maximum heat retention within the bivy. There is a tunnel vent behind the head, 2 stake loops on the top corners and a waterproof zipper with 3 sliders for easy entry and exit.

Product Review:

"Made entirely from a three-layer Sympatex Reflexion fabric with a waterproof/breathable silver reflective inner membrane, the Penguin's designed for winter and high altitude use'. Backcountry Magazine - March 2008. "Bivy bags protect your insulating layer from wind, cold and precipitation, and if made from a waterproof breathable material, do it with minimal condensation. The Penguin Reflexion goes a step further with a silver reflective layer to increase heat retention and keep in warmth. This beautifully made winter overbag doubles as a lightweight emergency back-up for summer alpinism." Gripped Magazine, January 2008.
