Outdoor Research Micro Night Bivy

When you need an extremely lightweight, compressible shelter, the Outdoor Research MicroNight Bivy is the ideal choice. Outdoor Research made this bivy with waterproof breathable fabric and taped its seams so rain and snow stay out, and your perspiration can escape. Netting at the MicroNight's opening keep bugs off your face as you sleep, and stake loops let you secure this bag to the ground in windy weather. A mesh pocket holds a headlamp or other small items. Best of all, this bivy, which doesn't have poles, weighs just over a pound, and compresses to the size of a one-liter water bottle.

Bottom Line: Get shelter from the elements with the Outdoor Research MicroNight Bivy, which takes up as much room as a water bottle in your pack.

great bivy

By:
June 27, 2008

The bivy was great. The bivy is perfect for what I want it for. It is very light weight. The bug net is great, because at night there are tons of bugs and zipping that up allows me to stay cool without bugs. I would recommend it because of the relatively cheap price. The only bad thing about it that there is a little condensation, which you can expect from almost any bivy.

Outdoor Research Micro Night Bivy

By:
June 12, 2008

I am an avid all year round BWCA camper and I purchase this bivy for my 2008 January 3-day, 7-mile ski and 1/4 mile hike up 300 feet to our favorite spot.
I am very satisfied with this bivy with only one minor issue; it's hard to get into quickly when you have -5 degree weather. I experienced very little condensation and it was very easy to resolve what condensation I had by unzipping a little to vent. I customized a thermo-lite pad to slip inside the bivy and used a -0 degree sleeping bag and slept in my long under ware. I was 100% dry and warm in the weather I experience, (Snow, rain, and very cold (low as -15 degrees) damp weather). I found that there is more than enough room to sleep in all positions and I am a 5' 7, 200 pounds. This also packs very small and is light. Overall I am very pleased and can't wait to use it through out the other seasons!
Here is a link to my bivy in use on the trip http://www.frontiernet.net/~jt9786/BC_gear/ORBIVY.html

I am 6'2" and have a BA sleeping pad that is 2.5" tall and i fit fine. Condensation isn't bad as long as you don't zip up all the way, which you should NEVER do anyway. Also the loop on the top of the bag, where it is folded over in the picture, allows you to guyout the bag to allow for more air circulation.

Good size, light, nice features

By:
October 19, 2009

I have tried several other bivys, and had problems with too snug fit, xs condensation, and seam leakage. The OR has worked well on a 5 day ridge running trip in Glacier Nat Park end of September. It improved my sleeping bag warmth by 10-15 degrees F, and kept me dry in a light rain. Plenty of room inside (I'm 6'1", 175 lbs), and the loops on the front are great to keep the netting off my face when suspended from hiking poles or branches. Easy to enter and exit. Folds up small for packing, very light for it's features, very happy with my purchase. Very useful for light, fast, high mountaineering.

Great bivy for almost any conditions

By:
April 2, 2009

I have used this in freezing temps, light rain, snow, and even blistering hot weather. This bivy performs in all of it! The condensation stays on the outside of the bag and thanks to the pertex liner it is pretty waterproof and extremely packable and lightweight. I highly suggest this bivy and using the loops to guyout the top to stay out of your face or wear a cap.

This bivy is just too big and heavy to be of any practical use.
