I have the advanced bivy, seems pretty bomber to me. I have ditched the poles and cut out the fly screen. When I did my research at the time it seemed to be the best pick of the bunch. The zipper system finishes at the shoulder so it can be a little difficult to get in and out of but I guess it saves on leakage, but i think this zippered system is better than the macpac or bibler system where the material comes from the head down and folds over if that makes sense. I am leaning towards a light weight tent if there are more than 1 person in the party, similar weight, extra comfort and warmth.. |
