Lucas Winzenburg reviews Kloke bivvy bag

Lucas Winzenburg reviews Kloke

By Lucas Winzenburg

The Alpkit Kloke is quite a light shelter that packs down to almost nothing and offers a roomy fit that doesn’t feel the least bit cramped.
I stayed cozy and dry every night that I slept in it and never had any issues with condensation build-up inside. All in all, the Kloke made for an entirely positive introduction to bivvying.
