Unlocked my camping life!

I highly recommend my get this product, especially if you have a smaller car for camping!
My Subaru Crosstrek is my base camp of choice, and while it’s taken a few tries to get the most out of my Bivy, it’s made my sleeping so much better. For me it was a matter of adjusting the front seats in conjunction with the tension of the straps on the Bivy.
Whether you have a small car like me or not, this will radically change your camping for the better!

Great product

So easy to setup and who doesn’t appreciate a great nights sleep.

My first trip with my Bivy

I ordered this to accommodate for seeping in the back of my Subaru for an upcoming Colorado trip. I was so happy that it showed up a day early. This made my car camping trip very enjoyable and allowed me the space a 6' 2" guy needs to rest comfortably. i would highly recommend this to anyone that car camps! Great product, sets up in minutes!

It just works

I was a bit hesitant getting this for a bit and finally but the bullet. I think blown away. It just works great! I paired it with a $25 decathalon air sleeping pad.

For a rav 4, just tilting the seats forward gave it a perfect fit

Perfect adventure hat!

I love hiking and running in this hat. Great air flow and its easy to tighten up on those windy days! Holds its shape great even after you accidentally put it in the bottom of your bag and than pile all your gear in :)

Perfect for car camping

This little thing can transform your car into a comfy tent. Get some side door window screens and enjoy the adventure sleeping in your car almost anywhere you can legally park it.

Best Car Camping Solutin

I have had the Backseat Bivy for a year and I have spent over thiry nights in the back of my Subaru Ascent. A simple and elegant solution to the gap behind the front seats. I wish I had known about this sooner.

Awesome product!

I love the backseat bivy for comfy sleeps in my subaru forester. it transforms a sketchy sleep into a comfy one! love it!

Backseat Bivy Transforms our Tesla Camping Experience

We sleep so well with the Backseat Bivy since it perfectly closes the gap to the front seats (we also adjust the front seats as far forward as they allow to maximize sleeping space). While I thought about DIY options, they were heavy and unwieldy to transport while the Backseat Bivy is an elegant solution that's light and compact requiring little of our precious cargo space.

Great but velcro wears out quick

Great product but somewhat low quality with the velcro

Good system, and simple

It was the answer to my RAV4 sleeping issue fits perfectly easy to set up. Coupled with the tent system for the back hatch a great camping setup

Road trip

Worked great on my cross country trip in my toyota highlander
Set up was easy and made for a great sleep

Worth the purchase

Works perfectly in my Toyota Fielder. I recommend it to all my friends.

Fills in head and shoulders space

Fits perfectly in my 2023 Subaru Outback and support is solid, materials are great and it’s well made

Backseat Bivy is a great piece of gear.

The Backseat Bivy works great in my Outback.It sets up quick and I get a comfortable sleep. I recomend the Backseat Bivy to the Outback owners that I talk with.

Game changer for car camping

This was a great addition to our camping in the car trips. No more pillows on the floor.

Fantastic Product

I purchased the backseat bivy and a seat cargo organizer. Both are amazing products and I would purchase again in a second!

Awesome hat

The perfect addition to a rad day out! This hat accommodates all weather patterns. Sun -> here's some shade. Rain -> let me block that for you. Wardrobe not coming together -> girl, I got you 🔥

Best hat I ever owned!

I love this hat! It's light, dries fast, stylish, versatile and durable. Makes you look as good on the trail then on the streets! By far the best hat I ever bought!

Simple and effective

Easy to set up and very useful for car sleepers. If you get tired of setting up your tent just to sleep for one night and take it down again in the morning, you will not regret this purchase. And it's cheaper than a tent!

Unexpectedly handy in many ways

I love my Bivy so much that I keep it up most of the time. It hides valuables by creating a "semi-sealed" storage unit in the back passenger's feet area. On my 2-month road trip, I slept like a baby in my Subaru, better than a bed thanks to the Bivy. Saving me a lot of money! I put bins of my gear, food, and clothing on one side and slept on the other. Since I'm a bit tall for my car, I slept on a slight angle, but the Bivy allows me to do so very well.

Nightsaver!

I travel a lot for work and have been unexpectedly stuck on closed roads in rural BC often. The bivy saved my behind more than once when I had to car camp in a pinch. Extremely convenient and actually lets me get a good night’s sleep. It’s now part of my emergency car kit with a sleeping bag and blanket.
