Ultralight Bivy Shelter

You are bidding on an ultralight backpacking shelter made from sturdy 1.9oz ripstop nylon.  Easy to pack and setup as well as weather resistant, this shelter will provide you years of use. We've had these on the trails for several seasons and have sold them in countries throughout the world. We've camped in sub-zero temperatures and combined with a 20 degree sleeping bag and Tyvek groundsheet, kept quite warm. The shelter can be staked 'low ' or 'high' depending on weather conditions. Note: the rear of the shelter can be staked directly to the ground for wind/weather handling.

Add one to your existing pack or toss a few in an emergency preparedness kit. Makes a great gift for friends heading out on the AT (Appalachian Trail). Designed for one person, easy to setup, LIGHTWEIGHT and versatile. This item is for the serious ultra-lite backpacker, made to utilize the adjustable hiking / trekking pole you already carry. Use with or without groundsheet.

As with any survival or minimalist shelter, some prior knowledge of rigging and pitching is both beneficial and  recommended. Because of the ultra lightweight nature of this improvisional shelter, it is the end user's responsibility to determine when and if a groundsheet or footprint is necessary. In extreme weather, additional waterproofing may be desired but can adversely effect breathability.
