Outdoor Research Bug Bivy

Difficult to use

By Ranked #916 - Sleeping Bags May 31, 2007

It was a great idea but the design was not carefully thought out. The zipper should have been side mounted and not on the head of the bivy...the foot of the bivy should have some structural support frame like the head of the bivy, instead it just collapses over your feet and I was stung by bug through the bivy because it was touching my legs instead the screen should be propped up...Very light weight and easy to carry but not very comfortable, effective or easy to get in or out...

could just tie some cord and stake out the foot area to a tree... create a foot box with room to keep the bugs off and netting taught.
