Bivi Bags – Trekmates, Alpkit… mag review

I don’t have Issue 43 to hand (it’s 60 miles away) where the ST boys did the test of bivvy gear… I’ve just come across some cheap (20 quid) Trekmates bivi bags in the local TK Maxx… anyone remember or can quickly look up the summary of the Trekmates ‘bag? i remember the alpkit hunka being really rated, but can’t remember the comments on the Trekmates….

trekmates was narrow and cost about 12 quid if i remember, i got a hunka from alpkit at the outdoors show for a tenner two weeks ago(slight second) but thats quite narrow too compared to my army surplus one. trekmate was lightest on test but that was partly due to lack of material i.e. narrowness.

hope this helps

Cheers, yep, that’ll do 🙂 will hang out for a Hunka, opssibly an XL 🙂

Saw some of the trekmates bivvy bags in tkmaxx for £20ish in craigleith in edinburgh today along with other similar stuff. Might be worth a punt for someone who fancies giving bivvying a go.
