Bivy, Quilt advantage I don't think Travis ever answered the question about Bivy use. Are you using one or not? Use of a Bivy in winter seems obvious as a pretty effective way to move the condensation point outsid... |

Katabatic Gear Bristlecone (Regular Length, Wide Width) I have had the Bristlecone Bivy for a year and really appreciate the side zipper for ease of entry/exit. The mesh is just right for breathability and views. The stake out loops are nice when you wan... |
