"Although this is a winter bivy there was no chance of putting my bag in it. -40F would and could not loft. Could barely get in and out due to the ridiculous configuration of the hood. Thank goodness I sent it back and got a bigger bivy or else I would still be trying to get into it."

"I bought it for the price and weight and the BD/Bibler name. Very light with ample space for my -40f down bag, however, very difficult to get in and out of due to the positioning of the zipper. Also, zipper constantly gets snagged on fabric as the surrounding fabric has not been stiffened."
