Black Diamond Lightsabre Bivy Sack
Good Fast & Light

Ranked #205 - Bivy Sacks

it's light at just 1 lb 10 oz. just for that fact alone you give up some other comforts. i bought this to do long multi day adventures where i don't stop. the bivy is for weather that rolls in and stops me. so i have somewhere to hide rather than just a space blanket. it's light and does exactly what i bought it to do. however it is a bit tricky to get into, and i have to admit stupidity here - if you haven't set it up in a while it's not easy to figure out. me and phd took over an hour and had to come back to it on a hike through the enchantments (yes we had the instructions!). and of course there are compacted condensation issues with a smaller overall space inside. i think that is expected.my bottom line: it's perfect for adventures where you will need a bivy but don't wanna travel with the extra weight. but it's not easy to setup.
