Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter One Person Olive Drab

The Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter is a waterproof and breathable single-person field shelter designed for solo operators and outdoor personnel who need compact, reliable protection from the elements. Lightweight aluminum poles form a self-supporting canopy over the head and shoulders, improving breathability and freedom of movement inside the shelter. It is available in Olive Drab and packs down into an included compression storage bag.

Self-Supporting Structure Without the Bulk

The Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter uses an overlapping pole design to create a rigid canopy over the head and shoulders without requiring a full tent frame. This means the shelter stays open around the upper body even in still air, reducing the condensation and claustrophobia that flat bivvi bags can produce on longer overnight stays. The poles are lightweight aluminum, keeping the overall packed size and weight manageable for foot-mobile use.

Insect and Weather Protection Built In

The entry of the Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter incorporates a No-See-Um-Mesh mosquito net that rolls away when not needed, so the opening can be used without obstruction in insect-free conditions. All seams are taped and sealed against water ingress, and a mesh-covered vent behind the head area promotes air circulation to reduce heat buildup. Together these features make the shelter usable across a range of environments without swapping components.

Ready to Stake and Stow

Seven alloy Y stakes are included, giving the shelter secure stake-down points without requiring a separate purchase. A 3/4-length side zip allows easy entry and exit and provides ventilation control. When the mission is over, the Stratosphere packs into its supplied compression storage bag, keeping it compact enough to fit inside or strap to a pack.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter suits solo operators, hikers, and field personnel who need a compact, self-contained overnight shelter that can be deployed quickly and packed small. The self-supporting canopy and integrated mosquito net make it well suited for warm-weather or mixed-condition use where insect protection and breathability matter.

The Stratosphere is a single-person shelter and is not designed for two or more occupants. No temperature rating is stated for this shelter, so it should not be selected as a standalone cold-weather insulation system without a separate sleeping bag or liner rated for the expected conditions.

Common Questions

Does the Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter require tent poles or a separate frame?

The Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter is self-supporting: lightweight aluminum poles are included and use an overlapping design to create a canopy over the head and shoulders. No separate frame or trekking-pole support is required, though the included alloy Y stakes are recommended to secure the stake-down points.

Is the mosquito net removable or does it block the entry when not needed?

The entry mosquito net on the Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter is a rollaway design. When insects are not a concern, it rolls away so the entry can be used without the mesh in place. The 3/4-length side zip provides additional control over how open or closed the entry stays.

Are stakes included, or do I need to buy them separately?

Seven alloy Y stakes are included with the Snugpak Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter. A compression storage bag is also included, so the shelter arrives ready to deploy and pack without additional purchases for basic field use.

How does the shelter manage condensation and airflow?

The Stratosphere Bivvi Shelter addresses airflow through two features: the self-supporting aluminum pole canopy holds the shell away from the occupant's head and shoulders rather than pressing against them, and a mesh-covered vent behind the head area allows warm air to escape. The shell is described as breathable as well as waterproof.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise

When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.

1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry

Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.

We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.

2. Best price, guaranteed

If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.

Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.

3. Free fitment consultation

Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.

4. Trusted by thousands of customers

Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

Price Match Guarantee — Terms

  • You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
  • Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
  • The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
  • The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
  • The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
  • The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
  • Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
