Black Diamond Tripod Bivy Bag

Black Diamond Tripod Bivy Bag description

The Bibler Tripod Bivy is a larger, more spacious and more civilized incarnation of the bivy sack for solo adventures, lightweight trips, or anytime you don't want to carry the extra weight of a tent -- the Tripod bivy weighs only 2.24 lbs. Three poles add head and foot room, increasing the usable interior space eliminating the dreaded bivy sack claustrophobia. As always, ToddTex fabric provides protection from rain and snow, while allowing the breathability necessary for a comfortable, moisture-free night. The laminated nylon floor in the Bibler Tripod Bivy sack will withstand the abuse of sleeping on snow or rock and mesh netting keeps the flying critters where they belong. Setup is easy, especially since the Tripod Bivy is free-standing, and the small size fits easily into a backpack, bike pack or haul bag.

Bottom Line: Travel light and sleep easy in the Tripod.

Much, much better actually. No more claustrophobic steamy nights in a tube bivy. Like other Bibler tents, it is tough as nails, exceptionally water proof and made to the highest standard. I spent several nights in it in some of the worst thunderstorms the Unitah and Wasatch mountains had to dish out - hale, rain, and freezing night time temps, and it worked extremely well. The vestibule at the top gives you a glimpse of the outside, is perfect for keeping your boots dry, some water and snacks, and even allows reading with a headlamp.

I dont know what other would say but this Bivy is much spacious then I believed. Fabric is some what strange feeling (almost like a paper) but it didnt take me too long before I changed my view. I've tested it one raining night in the garden (it was pouring down) but I've stayed dry. not a drop on me. I am looking forward to using this Bivy at higher altitude very soon.only down side is: it packs bigger then my 1 man tent!!!
