Assault FUTURELIGHT Bivy
Why We Like The Assault FUTURELIGHT Bivy
We keep it light and minimal on alpine excursions with The North Face's Assault FUTURELIGHT Bivy. The rugged, waterproof construction holds strong and keeps us dry through harsh conditions, while the internal poles increase headroom for sleeping comfort.

I would buy this product again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tested in a winter bivouac, -4ºC and winds of 50km/h. Used on snow with a mat underneath. The bottom protects the sleeping bag well. The small tent on top can be a little difficult to put up in cold and windy conditions but it is appreciated once set up. It gives space and is not claustrophobic. The zippers work very well with two sections to open as you want. Very good wind protection. Excellent breathability, no condensation inside in the morning even leaving a small ventilation opening throughout the night. The bottom protects the sleeping bag well. The materials look durable. Plenty of head and foot space to store clothes. I haven't tested it in rain but in conditions like that I would sleep in a snow cave or use a tarp over it so I'm not worried about that. Looks like it could handle a light snowfall. Perfect for winter bivouac.

I would by this product again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used in winter, bivouac at -3ºC with winds of 60 km/h. Sleeping on snow. Good wind protection and excellent breathability. Zero condensation inside in the morning. The poles can be difficult to put up in cold and windy conditions but the small tent makes it easy to feel comfortable inside with a mat and a pillow without feeling claustrophobic. The zipper works well, does not get stuck, with two sections to adjust the necessary opening. Lots of space inside, both at the feet and at the head to store clothes. The materials look good and durable. I haven't tested it in rain but in conditions like that I would sleep in a snow cave. It seems that would hold up a light snowfall without problems. Good for winter bivouac. So far very happy with it.

Had it out of the box for about 5 minutes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Arrived at the house yesterday. Took it out of the box, went to unzip the opening and the zipper basically just fell off of the bivy. Minimal tension was put on the zipper end.

Better than expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this Bivy (My first) for a trip in the Jungles just outside of São Paulo Brazil. This exceeded my expectations. On top of working fantastically well with the moist atmosphere the inside was actually more spacious than I had initially anticipated. Fantastic purchase.
