"This Salathe bivy sack from Integral Designs lets climbers stay dry while allowing arms to remain free to sort gear or cook dinner.

Tough, coated 200-denier oxford nylon floor is waterproof and abrasion-resistant; factory-sealed seams ensure waterproofness. Flexible, wire-stiffened hood keeps fabric off face and shields you from rain while sitting up; mesh netting with roll-away ties keeps bugs away.

Zippers with 3 sliders create armholes and allow rope access to climbing harness. Shoulder width 32"."
