Guardian: a cover for your sleeping bag
A bivvy bag is a cover you slide into with your sleeping bag. It protects the fill from dew, wind and dirt. Our Guardian is made of 100 % cotton with a wax coating. Cotton does not melt, so sparks from the campfire won't burn holes the way they can in synthetic covers.

Bivvy bag or tent?
The Guardian is water-repellent, not waterproof. On clear nights under the stars and by the campfire it protects your sleeping bag. In rain, pitch a tarp over it or sleep in a tent. Kit for camp by the fire is under Elements Bushcraft.
