Gore-tex has many advantages in a survival situation, here are my 5 top reasons to choose this material over any other.
Gore-tex is a quality, innovative and constantly advancing material which is useful in a variety of situations, especially in some forms of clothing and when looking for a high performance bivi bag that will keep you warm and dry and will last the distance whatever weather conditions you may face.
1. Gore-tex fabric is really a very durable material and will ensure that, as long as you take good care of it, it will last you longer than other fabrics you may have the option of choosing, which will in the long term save you money buying new equipment.
2. Gore-tex is, unlike many other fabrics, breathable whilst still being waterproof to give you maximum protection but still keep you comfortable. Wind protection is also provided by goretex and again allows moisture to escape, something you wont find amongst other materials.
3. Gore-tex is lightweight and compactable and will enable you to add it to your survival kit without any added frustrations of extra weight or space.
4. All seams can be hot taped, meaning that there will not be stitching in the seams, unlike other fabrics in which stitching of the seams can inflict small holes and allow heat to escape and moisture to enter.
5. Finally, Gore-tex technology is constantly advancing and new innovations are regularly coming into mainstream use. For example, the introduction of triple layer Gore-tex fabric has further optimised the breathability, durability and windproof and waterproof properties of this material.
So in the authors opinion if you are going to buy a bivi bag then i would advise that you opt for a Gore-tex model, preferably triple layer as this will provide you with every aspect of protection you can get in the present day market. Also if you think that it may be too expensive, consider that in the long term it may not only save you money but may save your life or at least ensure you get a better nights sleep. Also consider the added features of a bivi tent, or as it is often referred to, a hooped bivi bag. These bags combined with Gore-tex technology will keep you fully insulated yet allowing for increased space, meaning that you will get a far less claustrophobic feeling when zipped up for the night and also make you more visible and provide you with more room for storage.

Whether you are climbing, hiking or walking, the addition of a good bivi bag to your kit is essential, this can provide you with an emergency shelter should you find yourself in a situation where conditions have deteriorated and you are stranded. If there is any chance that you may be faced with extreme conditions then it is advisable to carry a bivi to ensure you are protected from the elements until either help arrives or the conditions ease off.
The benefits of a bivi bag often go unknown due to a variety of factors. However, a bivi bag is an easily compatible and lightweight piece of equipment which can be added to your backpack without the extra hassle of a tent and is much easier and faster to set up. A bivi bag will also keep you dry throughout the night, allowing moisture from your body out but also preventing it from getting in. Did you know that the human body, even on a cold night, can sweat over a litre of water and so in a sleeping bag alone this is likely to leave you waking up damp in the morning, something which a bivi will prevent.
Bivi bags also have windproof qualities, especially the newer Gore-Tex bags, and as you well know, the heat sapping potential of the wind is something best avoided. Good quality bivi bags are also adaptable to year round use and are extremely durable, lasting the owner a long time providing he/she takes care of it. This in the long term will save you money.
