Black Diamond Lightsabre Bivy Sack
Keep it vented
By Kelly Phillipps

For traveling ultralight and compact this is a great unit. I didn't like the seam sealing process and wish they would have sent a thinner silicone or advised me to warm the silicone up a bit to make it flow easier. I found that it's best to not zip it up too tightly and make sure the vent at the feet doesn't get blocked, there is a small air space that is coming in contact with your sleeping bag and it can easily get very damp. I ended up with opposing zippers, sleeping bag on the left and bivy on the right, but it seems to work just fine with this bivy.
