An emergency survival bag sold in twos with a whistle sewn in — it names its film and gives a weight, and publishes nothing about breathability or closure.
Two emergency bags, stated at 213 cm (83.9 in) long and 91 cm (35.8 in) wide, with an aluminum-coated inner face, a tear-resistant PE film outer, and a whistle published at 120 dB.
115 g. A weight, which two thirds of this hub does not give at all. What the listing does not say is whether the figure is for the bag alone.
213 × 91 cm. The maker states the size is enough for two people to share in an emergency.
A named material. PE film outside, aluminum coating inside. That is more than the silvered inner face other emergency bags describe without naming anything.
No hydrostatic head, no breathability figure, no seam treatment, no packed size, and no description of how the bag closes. On a film bag the first two follow from the material; the last two do not, and their absence is the listing’s own choice.
Note that the price covers a pair, and that the whistle is part of the bag rather than a separate item.
The American Amazon store returned nothing, so the buy link opens a local search rather than a page that is not there.
Every figure here is what Keepa held on the day this page was last revised. Offers and prices shift without warning.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.

A polyethylene film is not a membrane and the maker claims nothing for it. That is worth reading plainly rather than as an omission: the listing does not pretend otherwise, and the hub’s breathable laminates are a different product at a different price.
The listing does not say. It gives one number without labeling it, which is the recurring problem across this niche — a packed weight and a bare weight can differ by more than the margin people shop on.
No. Not published on the listing — the outer is described as a PE film rather than a woven fabric. What the listing does publish instead is the weight: 115 g (4.1 oz) — stated; the listing does not say whether that figure covers the bag alone or the bag as it is supplied.
7.8/ 10
The emergency bag that says what it is made of and what it weighs. Everything a shelter bivy is judged on is still absent, and that is the honest reading.
A kit where a named material and a published weight are wanted from an emergency bag.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for camping and hiking gear and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
One-person bivy shelter · two aluminum poles · PU 5000 mm (196.9 in) flysheet · sealed and double-stitched seams · 215 × 75 × 61 cm (84.6 × 29.5 × 24 in) · 1.3 kg complete, stated
A poled one-person shelter sold as a bivy, publishing a flysheet water column, sealed seams and a complete-set weight — with no fabric named and no breathability figure.
Best for: A solo pitch where head room and a sealed floor matter more than packing small.
Sleeping-bag cover · 3-layer laminate · 5,000 mm (196.9 in) water column · breathable membrane, no figure · 225 × 85 cm (88.6 × 33.5 in) · 1,300 g and 40 × 8 cm (15.7 × 3.1 in) packed, stated
A generously cut laminate cover that publishes its water column, its packed size and its weight — and calls its membrane breathable without ever putting a number on it.
Best for: A cover bought for cut and closure rather than for weight, over a bulky synthetic sleeping bag.
≈ $84
Sleeping-bag cover · 3-layer Gore-Tex · polyamide face and lining, PTFE membrane · 243 cm (95.7 in) long, 98 cm (38.6 in) shoulder · central zip · no weight or packed size
A 3-layer Gore-Tex cover that names every layer of its construction and publishes neither a waterproof figure, a breathability figure, a weight nor a packed size.
Best for: A winter sleeping bag that needs a long, wide cover and where the membrane name is the specification being bought.
