Hooped bivi, extra-long
Lifesystems Venture Solo Hooped Bivi XL
A roomier take on the hooped bivi, with an arched pole that lifts the head end off your face and creates a small porch. At 796g it suits bikepackers who want more shelter than a bag but less weight than a tent.
Highlights
Why we rate it
Headroom from the hoop
A single arched pole raises the head end, giving you breathing space and a handy covered area for small kit.
Seriously waterproof
70D ripstop nylon with a PU coating and taped seams is rated to 11,000mm, so you can batten down through a wet night.
Bug net for warm nights
Tie the hood panel back and zip the mesh screen shut to keep midges out while letting air through.
Breathable top fabric
An MVTR of 15,000g/m²/24hr on the upper helps moisture escape, and a Teflon EcoElite R3 / Zelan R3 treatment helps water bead off.
Generous XL cut
260cm long and up to 80cm wide, there's room for a full sleeping system and a little extra kit.

Sachet Instructions
1. Grab your empty old bottle of Muc-Off. (You may need a pair of adjustable pliers to remove the trigger from the bottle). Or purchase our Bottle for Life.
2. Fill up to the shoulders of the bottle with 1 litre of lukewarm water for faster formula activation!
3. Carefully cut one corner of the sachet open along the diagonal cut lines.
4. You can carefully pour the sachet straight into the top of the bottle. Or using the box, fold the inside of the lid together using the printed lines as a guide and use this as a funnel to pour the powder into your bottle. (Please see our video for full instructions on this.
5. Screw your spray trigger back onto the top of the bottle. Ensure it’s tight!
6. Shake the bottle vigorously for 30-60 seconds to activate the formula. If you notice any undissolved powder simply keep shakin’ it!
7. Go clean that filthy bike!
