Mountain Hardwear Conduit Bivy

This is an excellent piece of gear. I have used it in my winter camping every year for 5 years. The materials are superb, the floor shows no wear, though I do use a ground sheet. My Mountain Hardwear pad and bag are a perfect fit for this bivy.

Keep in mind that this bivy works best with a tarp because the hood is open, there is no fly or rain cover.

With that said, and you consider the limitations, ie do not expect full rain protection without a fly or tarp, this bivy is a top performer.

Pros:
excellent fabric, super heavy duty floor, Storm Lite top fabric is very water resistant, zippers are excellent and do not snag, will work with most mummy bags, adds at least 10degrees warmth to my Mountain Hardwear Piute.

Cons:
a little heavy at 1 pound, not crazy about the red and purple neon colors.
