Outdoor Research Micro Night Bivy

By James Thompson Ranked #122 - Sleeping Bags June 12, 2008

I am an avid all year round BWCA camper and I purchase this bivy for my 2008 January 3-day, 7-mile ski and 1/4 mile hike up 300 feet to our favorite spot.
I am very satisfied with this bivy with only one minor issue; it's hard to get into quickly when you have -5 degree weather. I experienced very little condensation and it was very easy to resolve what condensation I had by unzipping a little to vent. I customized a thermo-lite pad to slip inside the bivy and used a -0 degree sleeping bag and slept in my long under ware. I was 100% dry and warm in the weather I experience, (Snow, rain, and very cold (low as -15 degrees) damp weather). I found that there is more than enough room to sleep in all positions and I am a 5' 7, 200 pounds. This also packs very small and is light. Overall I am very pleased and can't wait to use it through out the other seasons!
