In reply to Which roomy Bivy sack fits a long RECTANGULAR sleeping bag? posted by Scottreynolds on April 4, 2008 at 11:05:50 pm EDT

I have an Outdoor Research Alpine Bivy and use it with a rectangular sleeping bag (75"x32") and I have about 5" of extra space at the head when I sleep. So it would depend on how much longer your sleeping bag is, if it would fit. The Outdoor Research website posts the dimensions of their bivy's < http://www.outdoorresearch.com/site/browse/Shelter%20Systems/Bivy%20Sacks.html > - click on any bivy and it will tell the list price of the item and dimensions of all the sacks. I understand your desire to have lots of headroom as I am not fond of small spaces, which is why I stuck with the Alpine Bivy. However, I think it will be hard to stay under $130 and get what you are looking for. I paid $139 for mine, but was lucky enough to have a friend who works for an outfitter and he ordered it for me.
