I am thinking about getting a big agnes 0 degree and combining it with a bivy for winter camping in the rockies of colorado. I am an avid AT skier but am wanting to get into longer trips. Would this bag/bivy idea be ok for the cold winter high country? How much warmth does a bivy add?

I think the ground is really cold in the winter and I cant imagine this thing actually keeping anyone much warm other than a bit of wind chill and water, but I wouldn't expect much more than 3 degree's advantage. They should have it engineered and tested, with specs for those who'll actually be using this type of gear to survive out there.

This bivy would be fine for your intended purpose. As far as warmth is concerned, maybe five degrees but it will keep the elements out & this is the most important factor.
