Saw a lot of reviews using the SOL Escape bivvy as a UL sleeping bag alternative so I picked one up to see for myself. My test night was 59 degrees and 90% humidity, and the Escape performed well with just a fleece sweater and boxer shorts. I'm 5'10" and 165 pounds, and I didn't feel claustrophobic. I feel that putting a sleeping bag inside would make tight, but doable to boost your temperature rating. A negative is the short, side zipper, makes it hard to get in and ventilate. I agree with other users that, by itself, 55 degrees is as low as you want to go when fully clothed. Adding a fleece liner will get you down 50 degrees in my opinion, and overall the construction is solid so it can work as a sleeping bag. A full length zipper should be the next gen. Fun to take out into the field if you like experimenting with gear.Read full review

SOL has finally made the needed product improvement by offering this excellent product in a sensible color--green. Everything else speaks for itself: lightweight, high quality, and effective. Some people just use these for sleeping bags, non-emergency, although I have never been that hard-up so I cannot comment on that. Let us say that the Boy Scouts will not start using them for their camp-outs. No, the use is still emergency, and I am glad to have it for that. Thanks, SOL-- green is my favorite color.

I wanted to try it for recreational use during light overnight hikes. Tested in the van with windows down between 30 and 40 Fahrenheit. It proved to be bearable but not very comfortable. Will need to do further testing. Overall seems to be good quality for the money.

SOL nailed this one. Light weight and compact. Kept me sleepably warm in 38 degree low temp through the night coupled with a poncho liner. Very easy to carry. Waterproof. It seemed to breathe well, no condensation when left about a quarter unzipped.

Produto muito técnico. Realmente impressiona pela qualidade. Extremamente leve, pouco volumoso e aquece bastante. Recomendo principalmente como opção para aqueles que possuem um saco de dormir e querem um outro que aqueça mais. Nesse caso, a aquisição deste produto se torna uma excelente opção pois pode ser usado em combinação com seu saco de dormir aumentando seu poder de isolamento, e ainda cumprir sua função de saco de dormir de emergência. Gostei muito!!
