Bristlecone Bivy

Size
The Bristlecone Bivy provides a waterproof floor with a water resistant upper to protect your quilt from spray and mist. Featuring a large mesh window and long U shaped zipper extending from waist level across the top, allowing for easy entry and exit. Designed to work well with both pyramid shelters and tarps.
  • Large Mesh Panel- No-seeum mesh window over your head provides ventilation.

    Long #3 YKK Zipper- Long inverted U zipper running from waist level to above head, allows easy entry and exit.

    Waterproof ROBIC® Nylon Silicone/UTS Coated Floor- ROBIC® high tenacity yarn and UTS coating provide extra tear strength, abrasion resistance, and it is less slick than a traditional silicone coating.

    Bathtub Style Floor- Reduced seams in the floor for increased weather resistance.

    Pertex Quantum Air Upper- Highly breathable, water resistant fabric with DWR treatment. Increased air permeability reduces condensation while remaining highly wind resistant.

    Internal Sleeping Pad Attachment- Internal sleeping pad attachment keeps your sleeping pad in place. The Cord Clip locations on our quilts line up with the pad attachments in our bivys. Cinch your pad in place in your bivy, then simply clip your quilt onto the same cords.

    Full Bug Protection- Full bug protection keeps the creepy crawlies at bay, making the bivy ideal for use under a tarp or floorless shelter.

    Elastic Hang Loops- Tie loops at the head and foot to keep the bivy fabric off your face and quilt.

    Generous Dimensions- Allows room inside for gear storage. Both regular and wide versions fit 25" wide sleeping pads.

    Stake Loops at the Corners- Ribbon loops at the corners facilitate drying or allow staking.

    Stuff Sack Included- Included stuff sack for storage. Adds 0.25 ounces.

Used it for the first time this weekend under a tarp. My long and wide Nemo Tensor fits inside perfectly along with my 20 degree quilt. I also had some room above my head to keep socks and a sweatshirt and also my knife, phone, and headlamp. I woke up early in the morning to find i was fogged in with a very slight breeze. I couldnt believe how warm i was inside the bivy with my quilt down around my waist. Once i unzipped the bivy to get out, i zipped it right back up and decided to put another layer on before getting out. Me and my quilt were bone dry despite the misty fog and it having a mesh panel near my face. And i LOVE how lightweight it is. Its something you can always throw in your pack for a “just in case” situation. I highly recommend!

Was looking for alternatives to my tent during Archery season here in Colorado, this bivy worked flawlessly it’s lightweight and compact it helped me shave 1.5 pounds off my sleep system. I carried a lightweight tarp incase of rain very happy would recommend.

Just used it for early season archery elk hunting in Colorado. Keeps you extra clean, dry and warm. Very light and packable.

Efficace

Utilisé sous une hexamid pocket tarp w/ doors , ou sans tente sous abri ou par beau temps. Coupe bien du froid et du vent. Grande ouverture pratique pour rentrer dedans, assez d'espace au dessus de la tête pour se relever le tête sur le coude, suffisamment grand pour contenir matelas, sac en duvet, et les affaites qui nécessitent d'être mises à l'abri -vêtements, nourriture, appareil photo etc-. J'ai parfois un peu de condensation mais dès que j'ouvre le sac le matin, tout sèche de façon extraordinairement vite. Utilisé dans les Alpes jusqu'à 2800m d'altitude. Satisfaite et rassurée d'avoir ce bivy qui me permet de me poser partout si des piquets sont impossibles à planter. j'ai le 5'6", pour 160 cm , très largement et grandement suffisant.

I got the longest widest option, just for extra gear or winter bedding. I've had many bivies, I love this one.
