To me the main advantage with using a bivi rather than a tent is the sense of closeness to the environment and being able to hide amongst long grass or tuck into a ledge on the top of a mountain, where there simply wouldn’t be room to set up a tent. This makes bivvying a wild and fun experience. It gives you freedom to explore wilder locations with a very minimalist and stealthy sleeping system.
The Rab Ridge Raider bivi is expensive but well made, breathable, spacious and will shelter you from the elements, for me, it has proved to be a great choice of bivi. If you want a bivi for multi day, wild-camping trips in less than perfect weather conditions, to go camping in mountains, or for solo expeditions by bike, foot or kayak in more remote locations, this bivi is really worth considering.
