It features The North Face's proprietary waterproof breathable fabric, HyVent DT which outperforms other similar fabric hybrids.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"After 17 hours on the go in a fast and light cross range venture, The North Face Flight Bivy gives you the protection and confidence to put it down anywhere. As you crest Picket Pass, a few hours amongst the boulders in this waterproof, breathable shelter is enough to restore the reserves for the next leg. While the HyVent DT shell blocks a brisk wind and keeps off the early morning frost, the large top entry and roomy head area allows for cocoon gear organizing before enbracing the cold. When in Flight there is ultimate flexibility when you go Bivy."

From The North Face:
"Made from waterproof, breathable, HyVent nylon ripstop fabric on the shell and nylon taffeta on the floor, this bivy is durable for full-on alpine conditions. Weighing just about a pound and a half, this compact bivy features a large U-shaped zip opening with glow-in-the-dark zip pulls to easily spot in the night. Extra space overhead provides room to stash gear."

"I bought this bivy to save weight on a recent trip to South East Utah. It packs small and the fabric was tough enough to handle me moving on the ground to get comfortable. I don't think it would rip easily.

The zippers are wonderful with the glow in the dark grabs."
