Overview
Built to add weather protection around a sleeping bag, this military surplus bivy cover is suited to hunters and backcountry users who want a simple outer layer for damp or unsettled conditions. It features sealed seams, a 2-way YKK zipper, and a mummy hood for added coverage, with snaps designed to fit military ECWS, intermediate, and modular bags. The cover is listed in like-new condition and is offered in ACU color with GORE-TEX waterproof, breathable construction, while the M1945 OD version uses water-resistant cotton oxford. It can be used on its own in fairly moderate conditions, though it is still best understood as a protective cover rather than a full shelter.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Used military surplus item in like-new condition, so appearance may vary and it may show surplus markings such as a DRMO ink stamp.
- Designed to protect a sleeping bag in wet weather, but it is still a bivy cover rather than a full shelter, so coverage is more limited than a tent.
- Fit is oriented toward military ECWS, intermediate, and modular bags, so compatibility should be checked against your sleeping system.
- The ACU version is GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable, while the M1945 OD version is water-resistant cotton oxford, so material and weather protection differ by color/model.
