Ok i've only just got one of these so too early to comment on longevity.
But considering we are still in Summer (when it's not raining) then this is a product which i believe can make the bivvy a little more comfortable on warm days and nights.
These Bivvy Fans are 232mm x 50mm x 118mm and weigh 292 grams.
So not big, bulky or heavy and won't take up much space in the rucksack or carryall.
The fan has a lead with USB connector end so will work with any USB power source.
Im running mine off of an EC Technology power bank and it runs well and without issue.
This fan has twin turbines.
And you can choose to run only one of the fans or to have both fans running simultaneously.
There are also three fan speed settings to choose from, operated from a push button switch on the rear.
Power consumption stats:
Low single fan 0.4a/2w Twin fan 0.8 a/4w
Medium single fan 0.6a/3w Twin fan 1.1a/5.5w
High single fan 0.7a/3.5w Twin fan 1.4a/7w
Example battery life: 45000mAh= 35-100 hours
Working voltage: 5v
Other features: 360 degree rotating head for optimal airflow
Absorbent pad for adding insect repellant liquid
RRP: £18.99
First impressions look good

Wow, excellent review
Wow, excellent review
But in hot weather can it actually move enough air to keep you cool? Looks too small to me.

I've not tested on a hot day in the bivvy yet.
And it's so far only been used indoors to test.
However i will say that for it's size i was quite surprised at how well it performs.
It's never going to be as good as a 9" desk fan, but then again it's far superior to one of those typical mickey mouse little usb fans that i've tried in the past which move less air than one of my farts.

I really like mine had mine since it came out last year, it takes up no room in my bag and keeps me comfortable when it's really hot

There is a little bit you take off on the fan put some in and it comes out through that bud

Am also a bit confused re the insect repellent feature on this and is supplied with no instructions. In order to draw the citronella through the fan do you need to remove the silver sticker where the pad is housed in and also take the plastic casing out?

I thought the same . I thought that you'd have to take the sticker / card out and also the plastic cup that houses the pad . That way when you put the drops on the pad the fan would blow through it .
