100% WaterproofJan 06, 2011
By Matthew R. Brubaker

I just used this bivy sack on a back country camping trip in the mountains of western VA. There was about 6 inches of snow on the ground and I laid my bivy right on top of it. No moisture got through the entire 3 days I was there. It also rained some, and you could see the rain just bead right off the bivy. It is 100% waterproof, rolls up to a decent size to strap on to the bottom of your pack, and I didn't have any problems with the zipper. Best bang for the buck!

The REAL Deal!Sep 12, 2011
By goinnil
I bought this Bivy for a flip-flop hike of the New York Bear Mountain section of the A.T. I was expecting mild weather with possible rain, having done this section before. Previously I went with a tarp/trekking pole shelter and closed cell foam pad/fleece sleeping bag liner setup. With this setup my sleep system (fleece liner) got a little wet but really it's the wind that gets you. You know the wind I'm talking about! That 4 am howling wind that makes you feel like you're sleeping naked in a treetop. Armed with that knowledge, I bought this beauty. Waterproof, windproof and VERY breathable. GoreTex is amazing. My sleep system for this last late-August hike was this Bivy, a fleece throw you can buy at wal-mart for 5 or 8 bucks and a grommeted poncho that i staked out in a mini lean-to with my cheapo wal-mart trekking poles. My pack went under the lean-to and doubled as my pillow, the fleece blanket and my tired, sore body went into the bivy, my head and upper body protected from rain and whatnot. You can sit up and cook, repack, read etc, and only your (waterproof) legs stick out. I used a mosquito headnet so I could keep the hood of the bivy open, but closing the hood would keep a good deal of those jerks out. So, im summation, if you like a minimal yet very modular sleep setup, stop wasting time and buy this bivy. Also it's very light and stuffs to about the size of football.

Great!Nov 20, 2010

The bivy cover was received in only a few days and in new condition. These covers are great! I used them when I was active duty and couldn't wait to get my hands on one that I didn't have to turn back in after an assignment.

 Perfect for intended useOct 24, 2011
By mezcalfud
I originally wanted this bivy to replace my Gunnison 2.1 when I pack alone and go minimalist but didn't want to spend $200+ on a really nice bivy. I also wanted to add a few degrees to my sleep system and have the ability to stomach sleep and spread out without exposing myself to the cold. I have yet to pack with it but it has gone car camping and worked very well, adding a few degrees and keeping my little sleep bubble cozy and toasty.
I skipped the entire sleep system as I remember it to be huge and heavy with all the layers. They were comfy or maybe we were dead tired as we often crawled in with boots and everything else on. Regardless, my BA bag is awesome and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
IMHO this is the best of the sleep system and the best bivy ever made! Yep, it is heavy, it has no extras like netting, poles to tent around the face and it is not pretty.....however, it is solid and virtually indestructible, it fits big guys with big BA pads and bags and it holds up to the elements, oh and it is 5x less (and worth 5x more)than others.

Stay dry while sleeping in any weather conditionJul 04, 2011
By P. Smith

My bivy sack "followed me home" when I got out of the army in '98, along with the rest of the Modular Sleep System I'd been issued. Since then I've probably used it a few hundred nights out of the 1000 or so I've camped out, and can say with absolute certainty that you will not get wet sleeping in this thing - I've slept through torrential downpours that left me in puddles and stayed dry. You'll obviously need some sort of overhead cover to keep from getting wet while entering or exiting the bag. Also, while not having an actual insulation value, the fact that it's windproof will make your sleeping bag good to a lower temperature.
The only cons I can think of are there's no way to secure the top flap out of the way when you don't want it over your face, and the fact that it lays right on your face when you pull it up. Maybe I'll try to work out a method of support using fiberglass tent poles to give myself a little bit of breathing room.
