Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Bibler Hooped Bivy Sack is a superlight, bivouac sack designed for climbers, bicyclists and other light weight fanatics. The hoop has a Delrin rod sewn into the sack, so there is nothing to set up and no parts to lose. Made of the same waterproof and breathable ToddTex laminate as used in all Bibler Tents, the hooped bivy sack collects less condensation than any other bivy bag sold in the U.S. All of the seams are factory seam taped. The floor is coated nylon taffeta, with a slightly tapered foot section for efficiency. Both the foot and head ends of the Bibler Hooped Bivy are boxed, so they won't cramp your toes or compress sleeping bag loft. The double storm flap and rain gutter have no sewn seams, so they can't leak. The dual slider zipper in the Bibler Hooped Bivy opens in the middle for adjustable ventilation and the opening is also covered by zippered no-see-um mosquito netting. At 22 ounces, this durable, stormproof shelter is ideal insurance for that unplanned bivy. Measures 90 x 35 (long version is 99 x 35) and comes with a stuff sack. Completely factory seam taped."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Compact, ultralight, stormproof bivy sacks, Bibler Hooped Bivys use a sewn-in flexible wire, a dual-slider zipper that opens in the middle and a no-see-um mesh covered opening gives you some adjustable breathing space. It’s built from waterproof, windproof and breathable ToddTex with a polyurethane-laminated floor. For security, the double storm flap and rain gutter use a seamless construction, and all other seams are factory taped.

Hooped Bivy
Reviewed by Charles Chen, Sep 02, 1998

"The Bibler is a well made, well thought-out, comfortable bivy that balances function verses weight. The hoop does a good job of keeping the mosquito mesh off of your face. I had also found by simply positioning the hoop that I am able to stay relatively dry in a downpour."
