Review on Mezonn Emergency Sleeping Bag Survival Bivy Sack Use As Emergency Blanket Lightweight Survival Gear For Outdoor Hiking Camping Keep Warm After Earthquakes, Hurricanes And Other Disasters by Glenn Cho

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Generous emergency bag

I'm 6' and 250lbs (not a small person) and I fit in this bag with comfortable room to spare. Standing up is easily covers my shoulders and if I crouch a little (or bend my knees a little while laying down) I can cover my head.I went outside in 35F, very windy and raining weather wearing jeans and a t-shirt and was fairly comfortable, though you do need to insulate yourself from the ground in something like this if you are planning to lay down.It seems reasonably durable, and would probably last a couple nights if you were very careful to avoid anything sharp. Definitely sturdier than the mylar bags at a cost of just a little more bulk. I would recommend including duct/packing tape in your emergency kit for potential tears.I'm assuming if you spent hours inside of it you will end up wet from condensation build up, as it's essentially a plastic bag, but I was not in it for that long.Under idea circumstances (indoors with clean wood floor) I was able to roll it back up and get it back into it's little bag with out trouble. I think you could manage it outdoors, but i did not attempt it.Overall a BIG upgrade to the little mylar emergency blankets.

Pros
  • I bought a pair of these to put in two hiking packs. Hopefully I will never need these.
Cons
  • Only offers limited protection from the elements
