I really liked this product, it is quite spacious for a small guy like me. My boyfriend and I can fit in it together when the weather gets kinda rough. I would reccomend it for those hot steamy nights in the backcountry.

Backpacker Summary:
Very well designed bivy sack. After shopping extensively for a bivy, I chose the Cyclops and have never regretted it for an ultralight shelter. Since it is not hooped, it is a bit claustrophobic but the tradeoff is its ultra light weight. I wish it was a couple of inches longer. I am 6' and like a bit of wiggle room. I have the bug netting accessory for it (purchased about 5yrs ago when it first became avail). Customer Service:

Backpacker
, from San Diego, CA Summary:
My first use of the bag was not pleasant. I used it in the Sierras at
above 10K feet. I had a few issues. I had no issue with the bag
having no support, resting on my face (my face is enclosed in a
mummy sack any wise). When my mouth was near
the opening my nose and mouth froze (it was mid 20s outside).
When my mouth was not near the opening I got significant condesation
(it was raining inside my bivy). I must admit that this was my first
time using any bivy in this type of conditions and possibly I was
expecting too much.
I have the mosqito netting, but have not used it Customer Service:
REI is a great store with the best customer service. I have had many
positive experiences with them including one dealing with this bivy.
A snap on the bivy literally broke in half and they fixed it Similar Products Used:

Mountaineer
, from Girdwood, Alaska Summary:
Awesome bivy for winter use. I have an Outdoor Research Deluxe Bivy and it doesn't compare with the Cyclops's ability to adjust in many ways for your arms, or to just shed the top part of the bivy and still stay comfortably in your sleeping bag (impossible with the other bivys). I do not have the netting for summer use, but I am going to try to find it; the Cyclops should be equally great in warmer weather.
I've used it on mountaineering trips in the Alaska winter without a tent. If you spend time sleeping in the snow, this is the best bag to buy. Customer Service:
REI is the best company out there for standing by ANYTHING they sell. Similar Products Used:

Day Hiker
, from Ukiah, Ca. USA Summary:
This is the first Bivy Sack I have owned, and I'm very happy with it.
I've spent days on the Coast, using
my Cyclops bivy as the only shelter.
I have yet to use it in the Rain, though I plan to do that soon.
The only problem I've encountered is a
small amount of condensation around the hood in the morning, Otherwise it works Great!! Similar Products Used:
