Weight 4 oz
Material HeatEcho aluminized polyethylene
Waterproof Yes
Packed Size Fist-sized
Heat Reflection 90% (HeatEcho)

The TACT Bivvy 2.0 uses HeatEcho material that reflects 90% of radiated body heat — slightly better reflectivity than the SOL Escape Bivvy at half the weight. The hood is the key differentiator: without head coverage, heat loss through the head significantly degrades the shelter effectiveness of any sleeping bag configuration.

Hood Inclusion

Heat loss through the head runs 30-40% of total body heat loss. A sleeping bag without head coverage loses its advantage rapidly in a survival scenario. The TACT Bivvy 2.0's integrated hood closes that gap.
