Only other The only comparable bivys out there are from BMW (on this site), which seem to rarely be in stock, from Oware, which I'm afraid I know little about, and Titanium Goat, which has totally re-vamp... |

Hooded jacket On the colder nights of my trips I had the hood of my synthetic jacket (REI Gossamer), a synthetic beanie, and a buff over my face. I'm a big fan of hooded jackets with quilts, great combo. |

REI Minimalist Bivy Sack During the time I have used this bivy, I have experienced no condensation, even when the single wall tent I was in was dripping. I have not found a great solution to getting the bug-mesh away from my... |
