Sleeping Bag Covers

The Snug Bug ** Sleeping
Bag Cover ** Bivi Sack ** Tube Tent
The "snug bug" sleeping bag cover is 7ft long X 26 inches wide to
accommodate the widest therma-rest sleeping pads. The floor is real
vinyl - NOT urethane coated nylon. There are three
layers of fabric with 2 dead air spaces. The "snug bug" will add about
15 degrees of warmth to your sleeping bag. The head area and foot area
are hemispheres. This allows the feet to be raised vertically to avoid
"charley horses" in the arches of one's feet. This also allows an area
large enough to raise the knees. The product is waterproof,
breathable and windproof.
We also manufacture a larger model that is 40 inches wide.

The two velcro tab loops at top and center of each head and foot
hemisphere can be tied off making the sleeping bag cover into a tube tent
for biouvac trips.
Note: 4 Stake loops on each corner
(All Snug Bugs now have three tie loops per end.)
Also available: 40 inch wide Snug Bugs
Many years ago I started to biouvac, that is I would leave
elk camp about 3:00pm and hike to the top of the mountain. I would
then find a fairly well hidden spot, tie both ends of the "Snug Bug" to two
trees and spend a comfortable night in my tube tent. The next morning
I wake up in the middle of all the elk. If the game wasn't there
already they soon were because hunters from below pushed them to me.
My elk hunting success tripled because of the biouvac. Many nights
have I spent in a "Snug Bug" with either pouring down rain or a foot of snow
on top of me in the morning. It never leaks and you never sweat inside
due to the unique three layer system. I tried GorTex®, Supplex® and
many other fabrics only to get soaked from within due to poor breathability!

If you purchase a Bivi Sack with a floor of urethane coated nylon, you
will eventually end up with a wet sleeping bag! As time goes by the
urethane will wear off, as shown in the photo below. That's why we use
a real vinyl floor in the Snug Bug!
