"When you need an extremely lightweight, compressible shelter, the Outdoor Research MicroNight Bivy is the ideal choice. Outdoor Research made this bivy with waterproof breathable fabric and taped its seams so rain and snow stay out, and your perspiration can escape.

Reviewed by Hugh Everett, Jun 06, 2007

"I carried the MicroNight as my only shelter on an ultralight 44-mile hike in the Washington Cascades in summer. By tying the top of the bivy up to a handy tree, I achieved the same effect as a pole in heavier bivies, with just a piece of thin cord."
