Design: freestanding bivy
Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: roll out, insert 1 pole
Price Paid: $140 used

I bought this bivy for a backcountry bowhunt, and was very happy. I am 6' 165 I had used small, one man tents before, but never a true bivy sack. It took several nights to get used to the cramped conditions, as I use a Downmat 7 short pad, which is 2 3/4" thick, but I did get used to it and how to turn while sleeping. I loved the balance between the weight, true waterproof qualities of the Gore-tex, and the single pole. For my needs it was perfect.

I really liked not having to stake it out, as I set it up in rocky areas. I actually left the bivy, pad and sleeping bag together, which all weighed 4 pounds, in one stuff sack and I would just roll the whole thing out. I am thrilled with this bivy, and expect it to last a very long time due to the tough construction.
