Packliner, bivvy bag

We sell high quality plastic bags that serve as packliners. There are two sizes, one for day packs, the other for overnight packs. The larger bag is very versatile and will double up as a bivvy bag in the event of an accident. The bright orange colour also works as an excellent visual beacon in an emergency situation. Order form
