Outdoor Research Basic Bivy

Not for me.

By Ranked #428 - Sleeping Bags January 24, 2006

Before having a bear crawl into my tarp with me I use to think all I needed was a tarp and a bivy sack. The OR Basic is a quality product, but the half zipper makes getting in and out difficult, whether to go potty or deal with Yogi in the middle of the night. A full zipper might be heavier but less claustrophobic. Look for mine on Ebay.
