Reviewed by Ben W, Apr 14, 2007

"This bivy is made of a 3-layer GORE-TEX fabric, which is EXTREMELY waterproof, windproof, and overall weatherproof. I have put a hose at high power right against the fabric, and it has never bled threw. The only reason why I gave this bivy 3 stars is that I wanted to do long-distance ultralight backpacking."
