Thread: Lightweight bivy bag

Hi all,

I'm currently using a goretex bivvy bag (that is awesome) but feels overkill for using under a tarp. It weighs around 900g. I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a lightweight bivvy bag, around 300grams??? I should be able to save half a kg here quite easily.

I've had an OR MicroNight bivvy in the past but it condensated quite badly.

I'm looking at the Terra Nova Moonlight/Survival/Discovery Lite bags but at 2m long I think they'll lack the length for my 6ft frame + allowing sleeping bag to loft etc.

Any opinions appreciated. Cheers in advance.

I'm tempted to flag a bivvy bag & instead make a cheap plastic bath-tub floor & focus on setting my tarp up in a weather-tight way. Bivvy just feels like good insurance & that's the only thing stopping me.
