This is a genuine US Army surplus Gore-Tex Bivy Cover, a component of the Modular Sleep System, made in the USA by Tennier Industries. This listing is for the bivy cover only; no other components of the sleep system are included. This would make a great bivy cover for all-season camping. This bivy cover may be combined with the Patrol Sleeping Bag and the Intermediate Cold Weather Sleeping Bag to form the Modular Sleep System.
Quality Guide
- Like New - The bivy appears flawless and never issued or used. We receive these items in bulk from the military so we cannot say for sure whether or not they are brand new.
- Very Good - The bivy shows very minor signs of use but is in great condition. No holes, rips, or tears in any of the components. All zippers, snaps, and drawstrings will function normally.
- Acceptable - The bivy will show signs of moderate to heavy use. Any defects will not hinder the sleeping bag's intended use and would be easy for someone to repair. There may be one or more small holes in the fabric (most are pin-holes but some may be larger, up to approximately the size of a dime). All zippers, snaps, and drawstrings will function normally.
- Damaged - The bivy will have larger holes, rips, or tears, and may show moderate to heavy signs of use. Most often these tears can be fixed with waterproof tape, and each bivy will be different. Due to the damage these will not be waterproof.
Included Components
Bivy Cover - The bivy cover is tan on the bottom and has a woodland camouflage pattern on the top. It is made with a 3-layer GORE-TEX fabric, making it fully waterproof. It has a zippered closure with snaps for connecting to the other sleep system components. It also features Velcro fasteners around the hood which can be fastened to prevent openings during rainy or extremely cold weather.
