Light Weight Bivy

Light weight easy to find color, enjoying my Bivy. The material is light weight so depending on what you are looking for, some might think this is a little ‘wimpy’ but it is fine for my needs. It will have slight condensation inside, I have tried a variety of bivies and cannot find a way to avoid this. At least everything about this Bivy dries out fast!

Or - Helium Bivy

I used this in the Adirondack High Peaks Wilderness in below-freezing weather with about 30mph winds. It did a great job blocking the wind and keeping out a lot of the chill. As long as you have the correct sleeping bag inside, this bivy will do the job. It's durable and spacious. It fit me no problem and I'm 5'9 ~270lbs. I still had room inside as well. It's also very lightweight and compact. My only complaint is that it doesn't open from the side, so I had to shimmy in and out through the top in freezing weather. This isn't fun as a bigger guy. If you're NOT overweight like me, this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Great gear for lightweight backpacking. Really comfortable and pleasant in nice weather.

Great For A Backup

This thing saved me when I thought I’d be sleeping in a Hammock but a cold front came through. Only issue I had was condensation build up. I wouldn’t use it as a primary but it was a handy backup.

I thought this bivy was very user friendly to set up and light for bikepacking.
