This bivy didnt do well in the rain

By mtnaddiction Ranked #689 - Sleeping Bags April 13, 2009

I bought this bivy for a Mt Whitney trip. it did great against the wind but i didnt like the way the fabric overlapped over my face. Luckily it didnt rain on that trip. I tested this bivy in my backyard before a light rain. i had it guylined out, a full length pad and my sleeping bag inside. after a hour of light rian i checked the inside of the bivy. The floor of the bivy was covered in water. Since the material is "waterproof" the water was not easily removed from the inside. after countless emails to sierra designs we couldnt figure out how or why. i think this bivy would be fine if i had a thicker bag. the areas of water intrusion were where the fabric overlapped on itself.
