[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 231575, member: 4191"] Well you should be out and about by now. Best of luck to ya. I've slept in a number of different bivy bags before and have always been fortunate to have pretty decent weather. Woke up to 6" snow once but only at about 4500' elevation. But my brother spent 3 straight days in a bivy once in a continuous downpour. About drove him nuts. I'll use bivies for 1-2 night trips. I take tents for anything planned longer than 1-2 nights at a time. A tent is a lot nicer in foul weather. BTW, I currently use a Bibler bivy tent and it's the best I've used to date. I've tried Integral Designs and it's just too cramped to allow my sleeping bag to remain lofted. It compresses my bag and I get cold at night. Plus the Integral Designs (Canadian Company) doesn't provide any head room. The Bibler I have is similar to yours in shape except I enter throught the top in mine. It looks like you have to slide in from the end in the Outdoor Research bivy? [/QUOTE]
