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.

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.

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

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!

bibler hooped bivy sack

By:
November 4, 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.
