The Exposed Motorcycle Bivouac is perfect for motorbike tourers that want to cut down on unnecessary weight.
Thanks to a cutting-edge design, the bivouac makes use of your motorcycle itself as part of the supporting structure for the shelter. As a result it cuts down on bulk and weight, meaning you have more room for other items in your pack or panniers.
By using specially selected materials, the makers ensure your shelter is long lasting while offering enough room for one person and their luggage. Not only does the bivouac make use of your bike, it protects it by providing a valuable rain shelter for your seat. No more soggy morning rides!
Those same materials make the bivouac impenetrable to rain, and far more durable than your average rip-stop nylon tent. The bivouac is made from Cordura, a dense material coated in a special substance that makes it even more impermeable to water.
When you pack it away, the rolled tent package measures just 15 centimeters in diameter and 45 centimeters in width. You can adjust these proportions in order to find the best fit for your motorbike of choice.
The product is handmade in Switzerland by a group of outdoor enthusiasts who are passionate about making the most of travel. The bivouac was subject to a successful Kickstarter campaign and will now retail for $670.
