Face bivy in a recent edition of Backpacker and was wondering if anyone
here has tried it or knows of any place that sells it. I wanted to see
how much it costs before I seriously consider it."
I saw the same article, but I opted for an Integral Design Unishelter
bivy. I LOVE it. It's got better access than most bivies, and enough
room to sit up and read a book, even with the zipper zipped (by
propping yourself against a tree or using a chair kit).
It weighs a bit more than 2# and cost me ~$230. Although I didn't
climb into the North Face bivy, I did check out several of OR's
versions, and found the Unishelter superior.
- Hope this helps; best of luck.
