Top Rated: Alpkit Hunka Bivvy Bag (8.1 / 10)
Category: Tarp + Bivvy Bag (2. Bivvy)
Alpkit's Hunka bivvy bag does the main things well. It's tough for its weight, breathes sufficiently well and most importantly, will keep you dry in stormy conditions. For around £50, the Hunka is hard to beat. Certainly, some bivvy bags are lighter than the Hunka and some are better, but there are few that are significantly lighter, notably higher quality and equally waterproof. For the few that are, improvements are generally too marginal in our opinion to warrant their £100+ price tag.
If you're: a) over 6 foot, b) want to use a winter-weight bag, c) like to have your sleeping mat inside the bivvy, or d) any combination of these, Alpkit should have you covered with their Hunka XL.
We'd love to see Alpkit implement a better cinching method for the Hunka bivvies; for us, this is really their only significant weakness. In spite of this however, the Hunka remains Scramble's top pick in the Tarp + Bivvy Bag category.
