Backpacker Summary:
I bought this bivy lightly used, and have used nothing else for about 30 nights out over the past three years. Works in cold, with enough volume for big down bag, and works in warm, with big screened area available. I bring a small sil-tarp to cover the head area in rain, and the combo just plain works. Setup measured in seconds. Material has held up well. Being lazy and liking to travel light, and having no tendency to claustrophobia, this shelter works well for me. Customer Service:
None needed so far. Similar Products Used:
Lots of different tents.

Paddler Summary:
Like most of the reviewers, I found there was plenty of headroom and rugged construction. It is probably more suited to less humid weather than I typically experience in the damp, marshy areas where I canoe. My only complaint is that when you zip down the cover and rely on the mosquito netting on hot nights, all the mosquitoes have to do is land on the net and bite you unless you prop it up with something or hide in your sweltering sleeping bag. Customer Service:
I didn't need any for this product, but MEC has been excellent for me in the past. Similar Products Used:

Backpacker Summary:
Very good weather protection. I've used it exposed in rainstorms with much satisfaction. Tegral-Tex is derable but not the most breathable. The No-see-um mesh is almost air tight. The very long zipper is a plus - leaving 3/4 of your body exposed. In humid weather it does not do well. I slept in it only because the bugs were so bad you couldn't breath. For colder and wetter weather, I believe this would be a really good bag. It's a little heavy do to the zippers and extra flaps and I've noticed over time it is not as wind-proof as it once was.

, from Philadelphia Summary:
Great Bivy with loads of room for extras, and side zips for an easy exit and entrance into the bivy. I've had no problems with it's waterproofness so far as the other reviews state--only time will tell. The one thing I wish they did is to stiffen the eyebrow over the head area, as it has a tendency to droop. Customer Service:
none. Similar Products Used:
OR Advanced Bivy
