Not Waterproof

Spent a night with heavy rain for 10 hours straight. After about 3 hours the fabric started to soak through. Should not be advertised as waterproof. If it’s not raining, this is a great lightweight option. I’ve used for bike packing in the desert and was pleased with quality. Would recommend sleeping with vent open, breathing becomes difficult went fully zipped up and condensation builds up. No ventilation. Im 6’4” and I fit with a backpack inside as well.

Odd Design

The way this bivy is designed makes it difficult for me to sleep in it. The mesh screen is positioned in a way that when you’re laying in the bivy you can’t see out of the mesh when you’re laying on your back. I wish they would’ve put the mesh directly over your face so that you could get fresh air and see out when you have the fly open. Otherwise it breathes well and is a high-quality bivy.

Used the bivy a couple times camping/backpacking since purchasing and will recommend that you leave the bug net unzipped slightly for ventilation since condensation build up can be an issue but overall really good deal on the product and really satisfied with its weight and overall size, I highly recommend it.

Excellent For Those Light Weight Over Nights

Light weight, easily packable. completely waterproof

Not Worth It Imo

I got this specifically for use in the PNW. I tried using it as a standalone product with out using guy lines, and as you can imagine, it doesn't really stay up on its own at all. It basically served as a bug net for me on Olympus. Which was great, but bug nets are way cheaper. I would be very nervous in heavy rain or snow that this wouldn't stay up at all or would fill with moisture inside from breathing. Pros are that it is very light and definitely better than nothing if you need shelter. If you can secure guy lines to the pole, I'm sure it is a better experience in general.
