Run to the hills, and stay there with the Outdoor Research super-lightweight, super-simple Basic Bivy. The lightweight ripstop Gore-Tex® upper combined with a Hydroseal-200 coated taffeta floor and fully taped seams create a breathable yet impermeable barrier between you and the elements. A circumferential zipper opening lets you air out and take in the stars after the rain goes away, and no-see-um mesh netting keeps the pesky 6-legged critters at bay. The Outdoor Research Basic Bivy is perfect for lightweight adventurers looking to lean-down their load and simplify their life.

Bottom Line: Can you hear the hills calling? Run fast and light to them.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Before having a bear crawl into my tarp with me I use to think all I needed was a tarp and a bivy sack. The OR Basic is a quality product, but the half zipper makes getting in and out difficult, whether to go potty or deal with Yogi in the middle of the night. A full zipper might be heavier but less claustrophobic. Look for mine on Ebay.
