3 out of 5 stars Good price and decent value   July 6, 2009

I purchased this for my daughter for just under $40 to use so she find out if she likes backpacking. I use a Hennessey Hammock (and love it!). The idea was that she could place the head of the bivy under the hammock rain cover. That worked OK, but we had to choose where to set up the hammock pretty carefully to ensure relatively flat, clear ground underneath.

Bivy shelters are primitive at best, but sometimes the weight savings and flexibility are worth it. I do know I'd never pay the $200+ prices I've seen advertised for some Bivy shelters unless they came with a Sherpa.

This one came in a decent stuff sack with the pole, two lines, and three thin pegs. However, it came without one word of documentation. We finally figured it all out at the camp site after a few false starts. The trick was finding where the pole went. (It goes just inside the zippers, NOT through the black fabric strip sewn on the outside. I'm still not sure what that strip is for.) Using my Therm-A-Rest Prolite 4 mattress and homemade "pocket" (sewn blanket), my daughter was reasonable comfortable, although the bivy had a tendency to slide around on the ground tarp.

Without some type of rain shelter or tarp lean-to, this would be miserable in any kind of serious rain or snow since you would have to essentially seal yourself inside and breathe through a straw. But as a way to get out on the trail with minimal cost and weight, it is a pretty good deal.

If nothing else, this bivy along with a silk or fleece bag liner would make a good addition to a day pack for hiking wilderness areas if there is any chance of getting lost or needing an emergency shelter for the night.
