BIVOUAC SACK INFORMATION |
GROUND SLEEPING SYSTEM |
BIVY
SACK The Bivouac Sack can be used instead of a tent for a light backpacking bivouac. It is not intended for use in driving rain, but it can keep your bag dry in a partially covered shelter or in a snow storm or even inside a very wet tent. It is perfect for Down sleeping bags. It will help protect the down bag and keep it away from moisture and condensation inside of a tent or from the wet ground. For extreme climbing, this shelter can be used on the side of a mountain. The Breatex Ripstop Nylon on the top keeps out the water, but lets your your body breathe through the fabric. The dark mosquito net seals completely the opening to the Bivy Sack to keep mosquitoes out. There are not fiberglass poles to hold open the mouth of the bag. You simply push the netting away from your face to create an air space. It is a simple and easy design. If the rain comes in the night, you can seal the velcro hood to the bag and keep the rain out. You will have to position yourself on a slight slope so that the rain will run off the hood and away from the opening, but this is common sense and easy to do. Please put down a groundsheet if using on ground with thorns or sharp rocks, because these will puncture small holes in the waterproof material. Please use seam-seal on seams to assure 100% waterproof. |
