Gear Review
The best of its class and very breathable
By Garrett Grove
Ranked #344 - Bivy Sacks
December 11, 2006
I have spent some good time in many different bivies but none can compare to this one. Extremely breathable and totally waterproof. A very durable fabric and the tie-in points are an important feature when needed. Not too tight or too wide, just right. A minimalist bivy with some breathing room. Only complaint is not as durable as some other fabrics but will hold up to tons of abuse.
