What is the Grand Trunk Air Bivvy All Weather Shelter and Hammock?
The Grand Trunk Air Bivvy All Weather Shelter & Hammock is the tent replacement that combines the comfort of the Skeeter Beeter XT Hammock and the protection of the Hexfly Rain Shelter. It's perfect for backpacking, camping, or backyard lounging and allows you to sleep off the ground, stay dry, and keep bugs at bay.
What is it made of?
The Air Bivvy is made of durable parachute nylon, which is known for its unique strength, breathability, and comfort. Parachute nylon is soft against your skin, allowing you to relax or sleep comfortably, but it's also strong enough to support up to 400lbs (181kg).
It is suitable for various outdoor activities, whether using it solo or sharing it with a friend for a quick break. The fabric's breathability ensures that air flows freely, keeping you cool on warm nights and preventing that sticky, overheated feeling you might get from other materials.
The hammock also includes no-see-um nylon mosquito netting—a fine mesh designed to keep even the smallest bugs out, ensuring you get a peaceful sleep without any buzzing interruptions. Whether camping in a forest, by a lake, or in a buggy backcountry, this built-in net ensures you can enjoy your surroundings without the hassle of bites.
For weather protection, the rain shelter is made from 20D 400T sil nylon, which stands for silicone-coated nylon woven in a dense thread pattern (400 threads). This fabric is lightweight and highly durable, making it easy to carry and tough enough to withstand outdoor elements. It's also coated with a 2000 PU waterproof layer, treated with polyurethane, to enhance water resistance. This level of waterproofing ensures that the rain just slides right off the shelter, keeping you dry even in a heavy downpour. Additionally, the seams are stitched and taped for maximum protection, preventing water from seeping through the seams so you can focus on enjoying your outdoor adventure without worrying about leaks.
What are its features?
The Air Bivvy comes equipped with the Hexfly Rain Shelter, which offers a 3.56-meter (11.7ft) diagonal length, making it large enough to cover most hammock sizes and provide complete protection from the elements -whether it's raining or you're seeking shelter from the sun. The shelter features a knotless cordlock system that simplifies setup, allowing you to pitch your rain cover quickly and without fuss, so you can get to relaxing in no time.
The Skeeter Beeter Hammock is designed with a double-sided zipper, making it easy to get in and out from either side. This feature also improves airflow control, as you can adjust both sides for better ventilation without having to fully exit the hammock.
Despite being lightweight and compact, the Air Bivvy and hammock combo doesn't sacrifice comfort. There's plenty of room to stretch out and relax, offering a spacious and cosy sleeping space without feeling cramped.
The integrated mosquito net is a game-changer for outdoor sleeping. It keeps bugs at bay while still allowing maximum airflow, so you stay cool and comfortable throughout the night. The mesh is fine enough to keep out even tiny insects, providing a peaceful, uninterrupted rest.
When it's time to pack up, the whole setup compresses neatly into a stuff sack, making it easy to carry and store. This portable package comes with lightweight aluminium stakes, carabiners, and all the necessary cords, ensuring you have everything you need for a quick and easy setup.
