Bi1 Person Bivy Shelter • Pertex Shield Air Waterproof Fabric • Lightweight Tent Alternative

Ditch the tent and travel fast with the Rab Ridge Raider Bivi, a premium ultralight bivy shelter designed for backpackers, mountaineers, and bikepackers who prioritize minimal weight without sacrificing protection. Combining the compact footprint of a bivy with added structure and comfort, this hooped bivy offers reliable shelter in harsh outdoor conditions.

🏕️ Minimalist Shelter with Maximum Protection

The Ridge Raider Bivi is engineered as a lightweight alternative to a traditional tent, offering dependable protection from wind, rain, and ground moisture.

  • Waterproof Pertex Shield Air fabric blocks rain and wind
  • Bathtub-style floor with taped seams keeps ground moisture out
  • Designed for four-season use in demanding environments

Perfect for fast-and-light missions where every gram counts.

🛏️ Hooped Design for Added Comfort

Unlike traditional bivy bags, the Ridge Raider features a DAC pole at the head and a vertical foot pole, creating extra internal space and reducing the “coffin” feel.

  • Structured headroom (~60 cm height) for comfort
  • Space to store small gear inside
  • Improved airflow and reduced condensation

This design delivers a more livable experience while maintaining a compact profile.

  • Durable ripstop construction for rugged terrain

🦟 Ventilation & Bug Protection

  • Zipped main entry with internal mosquito mesh door
