Was just going to purchase a Hunka from Alpkit, but they are out of stock until mid may.

What are good alternatives, or if some one has a spare they are looking to sell, drop me an email.

Think the trekmates one is the same as the Alpkit one but it's out of stock.

I have an MoD issue 'gore tex' bag, it's tough which is confidence inspiring but weighs about 850g, which is more than the Alpkit but not a big problem, it is quite bulky which might be.

Trekmates is a tight fitting bag, quite a bit different to the alpkit

Get the Hunka XL, I wish I had instead of the Hunka. I think a bit more elbow space would be better

I think Rab do the next best bivi bag. I think it might be called the 'Survival Zone' and about £50. It was considered the best budget bivi bag before Alpkit came along.
