Take a break from the storm in the Advanced Bivy, Outdoor Research's most progressive bivy. The innovative two-pole design creates an adjustable awning that allows you to modify the angle of the over-head roof, and thus the size of the zipper opening, to match your environmental conditions. Rain or snow runs down the roof off the wide storm flap and onto the ground. When wind kicks up, reduce the zipper opening to prevent moisture blowing in. By adjusting the pole positions on the inside of the bivy, you can vary the size of the opening from roughly a 45-degree angle to full-on stargazing mode — all with the removable no-see-um netting in place to keep bugs out. The extra room under the awning also creates a great place to store your boots. Patented sleeping-pad straps secure your pad to the bivy so you don't have to deal with the zlip-zlap-zlide battle between nylon pad and taffeta floor all night long. A small internal mesh pocket is perfect for storing things like contact lens cases or lip balm. The upper is constructed from lightweight ripstop Gore-Tex®, while the floor is Hydroseal-200 coated taffeta; which, combined with full seam taping, create a waterproof, breathable barrier between you and Mother Nature's wrath. The Outdoor Research bivy also has 6 guy-line loops to tie down in extreme wind.

I recently went on a multi-day kayaking trip in oaxaca, mexico. for most of us, this was our first time needing bivy sacks and most of us bought different models. this bivy was the most comfortable of all on the trip. because you can leave it open with the bug mesh protecting you (even in the rain), condensation was minimal -- not existant most nights. everyone else reported having their sleeping bags wet by the end of the trip - but not I! the only problem i had was that the bug mesh ripped slightly from heavy zipper use.
Something that I think might help the OR bivy

Well I found the OR bivy only after a long time looking for a bivy...A little about me -- I work in the woods with kids near Asheville NC and I use my bivy everynight in the backcountry.In the hills of NC.If I have to say the OR abvanced bivy is the one for you.Take it from someone that sleeps in it for 8 days in a row...I work 8-Days on in the woods and 6-day off.Year round...
So I think that if the fine people at OR
would put a small pole down at your feet
to keep it off your feet and a place to hook a string on top to tie it off, would make the bivy much better.
Change me.
