This is a high-end survival item ideal for the professional or devoted outdoors person. Essentially a near waterproof form of shelter (bivi) for the individual or group, the material is designed to maximise temperature retention to prevent hypothermia and frost bite.

For those interested in bird watching or stalking, the camouflage patterns, particularly the “mountain” camouflage, blends in very well with UK landscape. 

Jerven AS has been the supplier of its specially created Jerven Bag protective tarp (or Fjellduken in Norway), to the Norwegian Armed Forces for over 30 years. It is also in use with the British, French, Swiss and Danish Special Forces.

The Jerven Bag is a versatile windproof and waterproof shelter. Its primary use was a protective poncho, to keep soldiers and hunters and their backpacks dry and warm, but it is also a fantastic windsack for wildlife watching and hunting, an emergency tarp or sleeping bag cover (bivvi). The well thought out design, superb quality workmanship (10 Year Warranty) and versatility of the product, means that this product should be an essential in your kit list.

The bags feature double sided YKK zips around three edges to allow you to vary the shape according to your desired setup. Included are a pair of 3/4 length sleeves that you can attach or detach as you wish and a hi viz orange rescue flag.
