Easy job to sew some loops to the head end Stu. Also, get some McNett Silnet and run some beads down on the floor of the bivvy ... dots work too
May the bridges you burn light your way

Was thinking of some silicon blobs on the floor but wasn't 100% sure it wouldn't ruin the floor ,cheers stu will give it a try

I had the same problem, always sliding downhill in my bivvy. Lines of silnet on the base have improved it loads with no detrimental effects.

I bought a Thermarest NeoAir from someone on here and it came with several blobs of glue or clear silicone on the back of it. Initially I thought it was a bodged repair but I now see that it is an ingenious way of stopping slipping for minimal weight.

Loads of products made to prevent knitted slippers slipping - paint like the one above or you can get a stuff called plasti-dip in a spray on can. A light layer of spray may be just enough - and quicker than painting
