   This was my first bivvy, albeit a hooped one, and have to say it’s one of the best pieces of wild camping gear I’ve bought. I’m 6’2 and there’s plenty of room. Personally, I didn’t feel claustrophobic at all, which I was concerned about. Once you’re in it, there’s lots of space around your head…a lot more than you’d expect and the pictures show. Hopefully the quality stands up as this is my new go-to wild camp setup. The poles are a quite tight to get into the loop holes (maybe my particular product) but just a minor point. For those unsure about the space…trust me…you’ll be very pleasantly surprised. A couple of pockets on the inside which are really handy too. The side opens up so super easy to get in and out and great to open the side and make a coffee in the morning whilst still inside. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight, but roomier than you think, low profile camp.

   Day 7 in the field zero complaints. I bought silicone spray and sprayed it twice (drying in between sprays). Heavy rain two days later bivy stayed completely dry. Not sure I needed to do that just an extra precaution I guess. I needed small, light weight and durable and got all three. If you’re claustrophobic don’t buy it, if you’re gonna complain there’s moisture build up and you keep the bivy completely closed up- don’t buy it, key word hasty. Buy a regular tent if those apply. If you need fast shelter, on the move, light weight, plenty of leg room (I’m 5’11” 190) and wide enough you don’t touch the sides this is ideal. It has pockets at the head for say a little mag light, cell phone, glasses etc. The foot end of the bivy has enough space you can take your boots off and store them there out of the elements. This is perfect for a bug-out bag or if your military in a unit where they don’t force you to use the “issue shelter”. Ok the moisture part- sleep with the screen zipped and the tent unzipped. You may get some moisture but nothing like what you’d get with no air coming in if it’s cool out. If it’s cold out and you didn’t bring enough clothes or a sleeping bag zip it up, deal with the moisture and you’ll at least be warm. You’ll still be dry and bugs won’t be on you, my two important factors. Anyway, great price, extremely happy with the bivy and at a fair price. Fast shipping. Hope this helps.

   I like everything but I haven’t tried it in the rain. It’s pretty light weight. I like the hoops, the bug net, the ventilation and the camouflage. It has directions but they weren’t very clear about how to arrange the hoops at the head. I’am lucky I didn’t break a hoop. I had to search on UTube to find out how to position the hoops. Sets up pretty quick. Zips on the side so that it’s pretty easy to get in.

   Quality of material has held up through many setups across different terrains. Even though material does seem thin. Space… I’m 6’ 200lbs on a good day. The length of tent is fine but if trying to tuck in an extra backpack or have to reach for your feet to close or open your sleeping bag or whatever by your feet you find it hard to reach. Head room while sleeping is fine. Waste line to feet is a tight area. Width and length seem fine, could use more height. Ventilation after settling in seems fine otherwise very warm first 20/30 minutes. Use a small portable fan in pocket near head /ventilation area to help especially during summer time. I am a warm blooded person. Otherwise not to bad with just airpad and sheet. Water resistance from above is good. I sprayed scotch guard for water repellant after first uses just as additional protection. But handled short light rain periods fine but heavy rain it did not until spraying additional water guard above. If ground saturated it seems to eventually soak through bottom like condensation. Use a cutout garbage as barrier and works good. If humid or rained there is condensation inside of tent which was always normal tent camping in my experience. Overall probably is good as any other portable tent /bivy I’ve used. Biggest issues is space for reaching near mid waist to feet area otherwise is good.

   The first thing I want other customers to know is: get rid of your ‘this is just another piece of cheap Chinese gear’ thinking, if there is any. I did not use Chinese made outdoor gear until about 2 years ago. Not that I had any reservations or anything like that. I simply did not pay attention. This bivy simply is excellent when it comes to value for money. I wish I knew. I used European brands like Carinthia, Ferrino, Tatonka: tents, backpacks and more. My last bivy tent was an Italian DefCon 5. I think I know a thing or two when it comes to bivy tents like this one. This Geer Top bivy is just as good, if not better, than all the European or American brands that I had used before. I look for room, ventilation, build quality, materials and design for a bivy tent like this one. It checks all the boxes. I dislike it for one thing only: the colour. It is not really “subdued” for evading visual detection. I hope Geer Top would have it in olive green (the “military” one) someday – just like what has been offered by brands like Snugpak for so many years.

   Just went camping with a friend in Wisconsin. He brought his giant mansion of a tent. All of his gear packed my whole car. I brought one backpack. Initial setup was difficult at first, but once you figure out how the poles go through the sleeves it’s quick to get ready in a pinch. I’m a 5’8″ guy and I fit very well inside with some head and leg room to spare for clothes, shoes, and other belongings. There was some condensation on the interior in the morning, a little damp, nothing too bad. I’m a shorter guy, but to me it’s surprising how much bigger it actually feels on the inside rather than from the outside. This thing stands lower to the ground than a picnic table. Very discreet, compact, and lightweight. There’s an air vent by the head area. The top flap can be left open with the interior screen still closed.

   Soddisfa tutte le aspettative

   Je vais rendre l’article à cause du défaut de fabrication (œillet pas au bon endroit pour recevoir les arceaux).
   Il faut prévoir un tapis de sol car je crains que ce ne soit pas très étanche au sol.

    Bought this for my husband (he just had to have it). He wanted it incase he ever got stranded and had to make the track home without his truck . It is perfect for his back pack & other supplies one would need incase of emergencies. It’s made good and held up to 35 mph winds and heavy rains no leaks or tares .

    I recently bought the Geertop bivvy tent from whatcampingtent.com (although I could have also purchased directly from the Geertop web site) and I am extremely pleased with this item. An estimated delivery time provided by whatcampingtent.com was 24 days but the parcel was delivered in under two weeks. The first thing that stood out for me was the weight and size of the bivvy – despite having read the specs I was completely surprised at how light and compact the actual package was. Of course I immediately erected the bivvy and here again I was impressed at how easy it was to pitch and at the amount of headroom provided inside. Without reading the instruction sheet (attached inside the storage bag) I had the tent erected in double quick time; especially important if pitching in wet weather.

    I love this thing! It’s the best tent I’ve ever had.
    

13. Mzero Verified Buyer – 27 March 2025

    I’m 6’3″ and fit just fine. Easy to setup. Low profile. Didn’t make me claustrophic and didn’t get hot with the mesh at the head and feet along with having the door open and meshed closed. Even with everything open, woke up to a lot of condensation and the bottom of my sleeping pad wet.

    Obviously there’s flaws but for a cheap tent it’s actually pretty decent. Stays pretty waterproof when it rains but gets a little damp if it’s humid. Airflow tho the tent could be better. Kinda turns into a oven when the sun hits it or if it’s just hot. Pretty good at keeping the insects out if it’s kept closed. It’s super light too so pretty good for small quick 2-3 day camping trips

    It was comfortable in 30+ mph wind, it didn’t rain though, I’d recommend multiple layers of silicone spray.

    This thing is great for summer camping with no rain it will keep the bugs away from you but as soon as the weather gets cold or it rains you will wake up with water on the inside shell of the tent unless you set up a tarp over you I would not recommend buying this at all to be very honest
