Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Black Diamond Tripod Bivy (Fall 2008) For comfortable bivying in harsh alpine environments, the freestanding Tripod Bivy by Black Diamond bridges the gab between a bivy sack and a one-person tent. The three Easton aluminum poles lift the bivouac sack away from your head and feet. It s built from waterproof, windproof and breathable ToddTex with a polyurethane-laminated bathtub floor, and all seams are sewn with heavy duty nylon and factory taped. The Tripod has a large zippered entry with a sizable no-see-um mesh panel to keep the critters out and allow the fresh air in. Stuff sack included."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Bibler Tripod Bivy is a larger, more spacious and more civilized incarnation of the bivy sack for solo adventures, lightweight trips, or anytime you don't want to carry the extra weight of a tent -- the Tripod bivy weighs only 2.24 lbs. Three poles add head and foot room, increasing the usable interior space eliminating the dreaded bivy sack claustrophobia. As always, ToddTex fabric provides protection from rain and snow, while allowing the breathability necessary for a comfortable, moisture-free night. The laminated nylon floor in the Bibler Tripod Bivy sack will withstand the abuse of sleeping on snow or rock and mesh netting keeps the flying critters where they belong. Setup is easy, especially since the Tripod Bivy is free-standing, and the small size fits easily into a backpack, bike pack or haul bag."

"Tough as nails and made of a fabric that just won't quit. If you're over 6', you must get a "long." Takes away the claustrophobia of a standard bivy, but still no room for gear, etc. Totally waterproof, especially when seam-sealed. I personally like a little more room, therefore the Tripod is for sale for $200."

"Warm, stable, bombproof. Getting in and out is a bit awkward. Room inside for boots and a bit of gear, but not a pack. If I was going to be spending any time in it (stuck in bad weather) I'd probably carry the extra pound or so of the I-Tent."
