Love this bit of kit - I modded mine by putting a 3/4 length zip down it, made it so much quicker and easier getting in and out. Used your video on your other channel for reference - thanks pal

Great piece of kit Bex , thanks for sharing YAH bless mate !

[@DevilbyMoonlight]

This sort of stuff was 'GUCCI Kit' when I was in, the only drawback is you cant do admin in them like you can under a poncho in bad weather, they appeared about the time of the 'bouncing bomb' sleeping bags and were in OG rather than DPM when they were 1st issued at least in my unit, but blokes preferred to buy their own ones that had a zip down the side for a quick exit for the usual reason :/

[@Surplus-Only]

Bivvy bags are intended to be used in conjunction with the basha head shelter, plenty of room for admin and cooking etc. There is a full video on my old bouncing bomb, and Marines Arctic Bergen, on my sister channel.

Good man,

[@lenordchristopher6447]

My favourite bit of kit.May I ask how you fixed the toggle?

[@Surplus-Only]

You need to untie or cut the hood cord and take off the existing chinch toggle. I bought a double cord lock, placing each cord separately thru each hole of the new toggle, ensuring the toggle is compressed while fitting. The old toggle was missing or broken (can't remember) but the new toggle holds better and is easer to find in the dark, and is easier to use.....If your existing toggle is in good order, perhaps consider keeping it......bex

I've got two in DPM got one given absolutely love them with the roll mat inside 👍

[@ppspsd]

How would you clean these inside and outside? Could use regular laundry detergent?

[@Surplus-Only]

Never use detergent on gore-tex. Let the dirt dry and use a stiff brush. Turn it inside out and repeat.

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

be good if it was just the size of a nalgene bottle.

[@Surplus-Only]

I have the Cumbria Hooped bivvy, used by the Royal Marines, which is about the size of a Nalgene, and half the weight of the infantry bivvy bag.
