Okay, thatīs already on the market, but the price.... >> Slumberjack has a Summer Bivy that gets rotten reviews because of the 24" height and being trapped in rainstorms without being able to sit upright. However, I've used mine for several overnighters and it is absolutely lovely to lie and look up at the stars. Another good thing is that you can reach for the rainfly without having to get out.....and then it really looks like a coffin. Pricewise...it's pretty reasonable. The regular bivy is about $80, but I think I paid about $60 for the summer bivy that has the all-mesh screen. The weight is under 3 lbs. and it's a small pack. At first I got fiberglass poles, but exchanged them for aluminum ones. sandy kramer who has more tents than kayaks, but it's getting close.. :) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
