In the field
Pitched on Nothing
but Air.
Prototype testing in the tropical highlands: thick undergrowth, open clearings and exposed hilltops. No poles, no pegs and no ropes in any of these shots. Lay it down, inflate it, done.

The process
From Pack to Shelter
in Under a Minute.
Traditional shelters make you think. The Zero Trace Bivvy is designed to be simple. Three steps, no tools, no stress — built to work regardless of conditions, light, or fatigue.
0 seconds
Pull it out
The bivvy itself packs down to just 3L. It travels in a roomier inflation sack — with space for your sleeping bag and mat too, so your whole sleep system lives in one bag. Pull it out, lay it flat. No untangling. No sorting poles.
5 seconds
Open the valve
Open the single valve and fill it your way — a few breaths by mouth, or push air in with the inflation sack it came in. No separate pump, no extra gear. The air-gap structure firms up fast, forming a structured, weather-resistant shell.
25–30 seconds
Get in. Sleep.
Once it's firm, close the valve — it holds its shape all night. Slide your sleeping bag in, zip the entry, seal the panel, and you're sheltered from wind, rain, and cold. No adjustment. No guy lines. Nothing left to do.
Full shelter. 30 seconds.
Your tentmates are still looking for their mallet when you're already horizontal and warm. In an emergency — a sudden storm, a navigation error that costs daylight, a medical stop — a sub-minute shelter versus a 15-minute pitch is the difference between comfort and a serious problem.
Leave it at home
The Gear You Never Have to
Carry Again.
Tent Poles
3–6 rigid sections that snap, tangle, and add 600g before you've pitched anything.
Ground Pegs
Useless in sand, rock, and frozen ground. Always the thing you forget until it's dark.
Guy Ropes
A trip hazard in daylight. A genuine danger at 3am. Never untangle one again.
One item in. One item out. Everything else stays home.
One spec. No compromises.
Built for one
purpose. Built right.
We don't need a lite version or a pro version. One bivvy. Every detail considered. Priced honestly for the people who'll push it hardest.
That's the whole shelter, packed. Shown beside a standard 1L bottle for scale.
