The North Face Flight Bivy

Whether you want to go ridiculously light overnight or just need a little extra insurance on a single-push climb, The North Face Flight Bivy answers the call. This 1lb 7oz bivy uses The North Face’s waterproof breathable HyVent DT fabric to keep you dry when you crawl in at night after 20 hours on the go. This bag stuffs to a tiny 12 x 5 inches, so you can always find room in your pack.

Bottom Line: Just in case.

I can't speak for the "flight" bivy but I have an Integral Designs Event South Col bivy that I won't leave home without on my trips. It is extremely waterproof, lightweight, compact, and very breathable because of the Event material. I have gone through some torrential rains backpacking through Arizona during monsoon season and with the bivy completely zipped, have stayed completely dry from the rain, and comfortable. At most I might wake up with a little condensation on my sleeping bag but not enough to where it seeped into the bag. That's the nature of bivys anyways. The only downside to it is the Event bivys are a little pricier, expect to pay about $100 more.

Nice Bivy, well made, looks cool

I bought this bivy a month or so ago and have had it out in the Mountains of N. Cal. on some backcountry trips twice so far. The weather has been pretty mild so I can't speak to it's integrity when it's raining or snowing but when you closely look over this sack it is obviously well made, the seams are nicely done and the fabric is light and the color is very cool. It definately adds some warmth to your bag (I'm using the marmot 30+ hydro. bag) so in warm weather just zip down a bit and let the air flow. I also like the way the opening is in a U shape easy egress in and out. Packs down small. Great product.

I am looking for something extremely small, lightweight, waterproof

I am looking for something extremely small, lightweight, waterproof (yet breathes moisture, humidity is a big no), for an extended kayaking trip. I will be (hobie cat touring)kayaking along the shore for several days and need something that I can set up quickly on the beach just to keep me waterproof and provide a little wind resistance basically. I do not want a bivy that necessarily keeps one super warm as this will be a summer weather trip.This looks to fit the bill. What do you think?

It fits everything you want just fine. If you want a couple amenities you should look at a bivy with a pole or two. BD makes one and so do Big Agnes and OR. They offer a little head room and keep the fabric off you if you have to zip it up during rain, etc. Check out the Black Diamond Lightsabre, for the money it is the best. Two poles and it only weights 3 oz. more. This TNF will work great for what you want though. Good luck and have fun on the trip.
