Outdoor Research Bug XT Bivy

Outdoor Research Bug XT Bivy | New 2026

Bug-Proof Shelter for Ultralight Overnights

The Outdoor Research Bug Bivy XT is designed for solo adventurers who want lightweight, dependable insect protection while sleeping outdoors. Ideal for backpacking, bikepacking, and minimalist camping, this bug bivy keeps mosquitoes and insects out while maintaining excellent airflow for a comfortable night’s rest.

Updated for 2026, the Bug Bivy XT now features a double aluminium pole system that increases interior space and improves stability, giving you extra headroom and a more comfortable sleeping area. The large side-entry opening makes getting in and out easy, even in compact campsites.

The upper section uses breathable No-See-Um mesh, providing full insect protection without restricting airflow on warm nights. A durable waterproof 40D ripstop floor protects against ground moisture and abrasion, helping keep you dry in damp conditions.

Constructed with bluesign® approved materials, the Bug Bivy XT combines durability with environmentally responsible manufacturing. Stake loops and included aluminium stakes ensure the bivy stays securely anchored, even in windy or uneven terrain.
