Emergency bags and travel liners that publish the odd figure nobody else does
Where the badge appears
The badge lands on two shelves: a two-pack emergency bivy bag, and a microfibre travel liner. Both are the kind of item that gets bought once and thrown in a pack for years, and both listings are written for a buyer skimming rather than comparing.
The details it volunteers
The liner publishes a wash temperature — machine washable at 30 °C — and that is the answer to the question people actually ask about a cloth that spends its life against skin. Its packed size, 14 by 7 cm, is stated with the compression sack counted in rather than given bare. The emergency bag names its material on both faces, PE film outside with an aluminium coating inside, and it publishes the whistle’s output at 120 dB, which is a claim you can compare rather than a decorative extra. The cut sizes are plain on both: 220 by 90 cm for the liner, 213 by 91 cm for the bag.
The numbers that disagree with themselves
The liner publishes two weights. The title says 168 g and the first bullet says 186 g, and nothing on the page says which is the product and which is the product in its sack. It also calls itself polyester in the title and 100 per cent microfibre in the bullets — compatible descriptions that the listing never reconciles into one word. On this site both versions are printed rather than one being chosen, because the disagreement belongs to the maker.
The shelter questions go unanswered
The emergency bag is an emergency bag and not a shelter bivy, and its specification sheet says so by omission. No packed size, which is the figure that decides whether it stays in the pack. No breathability figure and no claim of one, which on a sealed film bag is what decides how wet the inside gets by morning. No seam taping, no denier, and no description of how the bag is entered or shut. Read it as a foil sheet in a bag shape with a whistle attached, and it is honest; read it as a night’s shelter and the page will not support you.
