Aurora Bivy
Reviewed by Clavote, Feb 24, 2008

"The bivy sack works as advertised. I have only used this at altitude because at lower altitudes I will get internal condensation. Using this at altitude and having a temperature differential between the inside and outside of the bag allows it to vent vapor through the Gore-Tex laminate."
