Do I need a tarp for this bivy (or any bivy) when I snow camp? Looking for something to replace a tent for April/May/June ski tours (might also use it for added warmth in a tent in the middle of winter). Breathability and weight are main factors. Not planning to use in wet/stormy weather. Thanks!

won't need a tarp. the bivy is waterproof and uses a heavier 40d fabric on the floor. Weighs under a pound and is highly breathable. Great choice for going light on spring/summer ski tours.
