Picture it. Summer camping under the stars, a warm breeze blowing across your face, the soft, melodic, soothing buzz of mosquitoes — say what? That's right, thanks to the Outdoor Research Bug Bivy now you can sleep outside, under the open sky, and your only thought of bugs will be how lovely they sound as you drift off to never-never land. This ultra-light, no-see-um mesh bivy has a Hydroseal-200 coated taffeta floor to protect you from ground moisture and rocky debris. Meanwhile the mesh will, need we say it, protect you from debris of the airborne, buzzing, pernicious ilk. The OR Bug Bivy features a shock-corded Delrin pole that conveniently holds the mesh off of your face so you can saw logs unobstructed all night long. Patented sleeping-pad straps fix the bivy to your pad so you don't spend the night slip-sliding away, and a small internal mesh pocket conveniently holds those little items you need near at hand. One end-opening zipper seals the deal.
Bottom Line: Sleep soundly to a symphony of nasty gnats, buzzing blackflies, and melodic mosquitoes.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

This was a great idea but difficult to get in and out of it,
The netting is not held up in place on your feet . I did find a much better one called Catoma Bed Net. look it up ,
Will a rectangular sleeping pad fit, or am I better off with

It was a great idea but the design was not carefully thought out. The zipper should have been side mounted and not on the head of the bivy...the foot of the bivy should have some structural support frame like the head of the bivy, instead it just collapses over your feet and I was stung by bug through the bivy because it was touching my legs instead the screen should be propped up...Very light weight and easy to carry but not very comfortable, effective or easy to get in or out...

could just tie some cord and stake out the foot area to a tree...
create a foot box with room to keep the bugs off and netting taught.
Change me.
