Black Diamond Hooped Bivy Sack

The Bibler Hooped Bivy Sack is a superlight, bivouac sack designed for climbers, bicyclists and other light weight fanatics. The hoop has a Delrin rod sewn into the sack, so there is nothing to set up and no parts to lose. Made of the same waterproof and breathable ToddTex laminate as used in all Bibler Tents, the hooped bivy sack collects less condensation than any other bivy bag sold in the U.S. All of the seams are factory seam taped. The floor is coated nylon taffeta, with a slightly tapered foot section for efficiency. Both the foot and head ends of the Bibler Hooped Bivy are "boxed," so they won't cramp your toes or compress sleeping bag loft. The double storm flap and rain gutter have no sewn seams, so they can't leak. The dual slider zipper in the Bibler Hooped Bivy opens in the middle for adjustable ventilation and the opening is also covered by zippered no-see-um mosquito netting. At 22 ounces, this durable, stormproof shelter is ideal insurance for that unplanned bivy. Measures 90" x 35" (long version is 99" x 35") and comes with a stuff sack. Completely factory seam taped.

Bottom Line: Go lighter.

What is the right size of compression sack for the Black Diamond

What is the right size of compression sack for the Black Diamond Hooped Bivy Sack (Long), or does the hoop make a compression sack impractical?

This thing is great

This is my first bivy and it works great for fast and light camping. Just make sure you don't fall off your sleeping pad, due to condensation on the floor, but it usually isn't a problem. Also if bugs are a concern you may want to consider the tripod, Mosquitoes can bite through the netting if it is close to your skin. All in all it is much better than dragging a tent along and works great in combination with a tarp. It also eliminates the need for super bulky cold weather bags in most conditions.

bibler hooped bivy sack

By:
November 5, 2003

Worked well in bighorn mts, wyoming. Positive: Very light, made solo infinitely better. No setup. Packs smaller than my sleeping bag. Kept me completely out of wind/snow/frost. Negative: I'm 6' even, wishing I got the extra-long, as putting clothes/raingear/camera in sack with me for the night made it pretty crowded. Some condensation on the interior floor after nights of 10-20 degrees fahrenheit, but easily wiped dry. Overall: definitely worth it.

Are bivy's supposed to replace tents? Can the bivy keep

Are bivy's supposed to replace tents? Can the bivy keep out creepy crawlies like scorpions in the Arizona desert looking for something to keep warm under?

They can if you're flying solo. They usually add about 10-15 degrees of warmth (F) over sleeping in the open, and there's the added advantage of keeping rain, sun, wind, and yes, creepie-crwlies out. Plus they pack up way smaller and lighter than a tent. If you're into solo backpacking, this is the way to go.

Hi, I am going on a mountain goat hunt in Alaska where I live.

Hi, I am going on a mountain goat hunt in Alaska where I live. I am wanting to buy a bivy that I can pack with me in the event that I get stuck on the mountain OR need to spike camp for a couple three days. I can expect rain and/or snow that time of year and want a bivy that I will not get soaked in. Do you think this would work for me or is there something else that you would reccomend. I am also looking for a sleeping bag liner that I can use in conjunction with my Big Agnes 0 degree bag. I will also be wanting to carry the liner with me in case I get stuck on that mountain to use with the bivy. Thank you in advance for your help, Len Mann

Would it be too warm in hot weather? Could you manage a clothes change in it? Could you see the stars through it?

These are one of the better. I have tried, no bag one that was 89 and I turned into a sauna tube in a minute. Most will be waterproof but it is the breathability.

I like Big agnes for their eVent bivy or one that is goretex for the best breatheability.

Also yes get a bipod/tripod for soemthing off your face. Some dont care but I cant stand anything on my face.

I spent a summer doing field research in the North Cascades using this bag comboed with a light weight sleeping bag. I found this bivy to be too hot, and the hoop didn't keep the netting off my face enough. Result: sweaty body bugged by incessant buzzing. I've not tried the tripod version, but I think it might keep the bivy material off your head enough to allow more heat to escape. Hope this helps

This bivy is good for all seasons. A contortionist could manage a change of clothes in it & the stars are highly visible when the top is down!
