Outdoor Research Micro Night Bivy
dissapointed

I bought this bivy to protect my down bag in a snow cave. I have not used for that purpose yet but I did throw the bivy with my synthetic back out in the rain for a day to test it out a bit. In an hour of medium rain the top had soaked through and started wetting the bag. There was also a large amount of condensation granted the bivy was full zipped up. I would recommend this for use under a full size tarp to protect your bag from splash and water on the ground but would not trust to stand alone in any kind of storm.
