Description

  Multipurpose bivy bag / poncho / windbreak shelter

  Originally developed as a survival tool for Swedish air force pilots, Hilleberg's patented Bivanorak is a bivy bag/sleeping bag cover, rain garment, portable windbreak, and emergency shelter, all in one – all in a 20 oz package. The Bivanorak is made from a lightweight, tough, PU-coated waterproof/breathable fabric and has fully taped seams. The Bivanorak is cut long and wide to provide room for both a sleeping bag and pad in bivy bag mode. Its lower hem and cuffs have draw cords (those in the cuffs are elastic) which can be secured shut to keep warmth in and rain and snow out, and its long front zipper makes entry and exit easy. The large hood will easily accommodate the hood of a sleeping bag, yet it can be cinched tightly around your face. Combine a Hilleberg Bivanorak and Tarp to create a highly effective – and incredibly lightweight – shelter system. The Bivanorak is worn anorak-style and can be adjusted to a variety of lengths. Simply pull the bottom hem up inside the body of the Bivanorak and tighten the draw cord around your waist or tuck the extra fabric under your pack’s hip belt. There is even enough room to carry a backpack underneath!

  A note on colors: Fabric dyes have natural variations, so the actual tent color may look slightly different from what is pictured here.

Can an App Really Keep You Safe While Backcountry Skiing?
  Five miles deep in the backcountry west of Crested Butte, Jeff Banks stopped the group. The 49-year-old IFMGA guide was leading me and five other skiers around Kebler Pass. He had asked us to set the skin track, and we were aiming for a benign-looking rollover. But avalanche danger was “considerable” and the slope in front of us was roughly...
Mullet Hoodie Is Tough Up Front, Stretchy in Back: Outdoor Research Deviator Review
  It was cold and slightly breezy as I ran, but all I needed underneath my Outdoor Research (OR) Deviator Hoodie was a summerweight wool T-shirt. The lightweight jacket kept me warm enough and safe from the occasional chilly gust. But I also knew it would dry out quickly when I stopped, despite having worked up a sweat on my favorite...
‘Climbing Became Cool Because of People Like Maria:’ Q and A With ‘Mentor’ Movie Director
  When Mike Call started his third documentary for Black Diamond, he knew he needed to make a tribute to Maria Cranor.   Though shes not well-known outside of the climbing community, its impossible to understate the impact she made on the sport. For most, Cranor is remembered as the creative genius who helped co-found Black Diamond. When Yvon Chouinards climbing hardware...
The Best Fly Fishing Gear for Every Type of Angler
  The bad news is trout aren’t getting dumber. More flies on the surface and extra boots in the water mean you have to approach these fish with stealth and finesse. The good news: our 2024 gear selections won’t make the cast or catch a fish for you, but they sure help level the playing field. Last summer and fall, four...

Small Timepiece, Big Trend: DOXA Downsizes With the SUB 200T
  Bigger isnt always better. But when it comes to dive watches, they tend to be, well, bigger. But with the introduction of the 39mm SUB 200T, DOXA shrinks its classic SUB 300 model as a nod to modern trends, even if it gives up a little real estate on its face.   It also gives up a little less on the...
How to Prepare for Camping Season: GearJunkie’s Essential Guide
  Spring is in the air. The snow is melting in the high country, daily temps are rising, days are stretching longer, and short sleeves and sandals are emerging in the wild from hibernation. These are all signs that one of the best times of the year is right around the corner. The days of car camping, backpacking, tent pitching, fire...
This Rookie Cycling Team Wasn’t Supposed to Win
  In 1951, Indiana University hosted its first Little 500—a track cycling competition modeled after the Indy 500 and depicted in the 1979 Oscar-nominated film Breaking Away. But the first women’s race wasn’t held until April 22, 1988. The four freshmen riders of the victorious Willkie Sprint team—Kerry Hellmuth, Kirsten Swanson, Amy Tucker, and Louise Elder—were considered underdogs. In the following...

Over the years, the brand has made its mark by developing in-house technologies like Helly Tech Professional, a waterproof outer layer that can withstand harsh weather conditions and rigorous abuse. The pinnacle of its apparel,...
Vortex Eyewear: The Optics Brand Takes Aim at Shades
  Vortex Optics has taken a confident leap into the sunglasses market. Today, the brand launched Vortex eyewear, and I can tell you firsthand that this isnt a gimmick product. These shades are rad.   Ive had the Jackal and the Banshee frames for a few weeks now, and though I was skeptical, I am impressed. I think brands often take the...
Women Who Built the National Parks Are Finally Getting Recognized
  Across the 429 parks, monuments and historic sites managed by the National Park Service, only 76 are named after women, or otherwise center women’s history. This is a problem, because women have—and this should be obvious—played vital roles not only in the preservation and study of nature, and our nation’s history, but also because women are essential to the operation of...
The Best Ultralight Tents of 2024
  Narrowing in on that elusive 5-pound base weight? Youre probably fastidiously scouring the web for the lightest ultralight tent, backpack, and sleeping bag, but beware — these flimsy, unassuming pieces of gear need to be chosen with care. The lightest model on the market may not be the best, or the safest, move. Theres a lot to consider when buying...
