Today's emergency backpack must be small, light and practical. In addition to the first aid kit, it should not be missing in your backpack, because the weather changes quickly in the mountains and you need a safe shelter in an emergency. The Ultra Light bivy sack is also a real emergency talent.
The Mountain Equipment Ultra Light fulfills all these requirements. With a pack size of 7 x 8 centimetres, it is very small, super light and therefore doesn't get in the way in your backpack in any way. The signal-colored bag made of waterproof and windproof PE film weighs just 108 grams and provides safe shelter in emergencies. Thanks to its length of 213 centimetres, you can usually even fit a backpack inside. After use, the bivy sack can be easily stuffed back into the small over-pocket, which is almost twice the size of the sack itself.
The Ultra Light Biwacksack is also a real emergency talent. If you split it open at the seam, you have a large rescue blanket. This is somewhat more stable than a classic rescue blanket - so the bag can also be used as a stretcher if necessary. To ensure that the bag does not tear, a rescue blanket should also be placed on the unzipped bivouac sack if the person is heavy. Then roll up the left and right sides almost up to the body of the injured person - this makes the temporary stretcher more stable and makes it easier for helpers to transport the casualty.
The Mountain Equipment Ultra Light bivy sack is also available as a double version, which offers space for two people and weighs just 80 grams more.
