My Neo Air doesn’t fit inside my Titanium Goat bivy bag too well. The top part is OK but as it slims towards the end the down in the top of my sleeping bag gets crushed. You can’t really put the NeoAir outside the bivy as that would be asking for a puncture. I contacted TiGoat about this and they said they should be constructing a NeoAir compatible bivy in 1-2 months time.
Has anyone else heard of NeoAir compatible bivys?
Oct 5, 2009 at 8:04 am #1533079I have the MLD Superlight bivy with extra width. I have room to spare with my tired body, WM Summerlight, and a regular length NeoAir all inside.
Oct 5, 2009 at 10:20 am #1533119My medium Neo Air fitted inside my BPL Vapor Bivy very well on a recent trip. I have experimented with the Neo Air (but not camped in) with the ID Unishelter and the ID all event Bivy and it seemed there was enough room for the lofting of my quilts.
I think the key issue is girth (circumference) of the bivy, that information that is not readily available for many bivies.
Oct 5, 2009 at 12:26 pm #1533167I have a six moom designs meteor bivy. The large NEO fits perfectly, with sleeping bag and me fits perfectly.
Oct 5, 2009 at 2:47 pm #1533225Yeah, I made a giant meteor bivy and my large fits in great!
Oct 5, 2009 at 3:28 pm #1533240The Titanium Goat bivy tapers substantially and this is the problem. I am going to try and make by own bivy when my Cuben order gets in.
Nov 27, 2009 at 7:17 pm #1548502I sent a couple of emails of late, but nothing back
anyone else here of anything from Ti Goat?
Nov 27, 2009 at 7:22 pm #1548505I spoke with him last week. He's made a few, they're out in the field. He said they seem to be working well, and he hopes to have them up on the site for ordering in a couple of weeks. FWIW.
Nov 27, 2009 at 7:35 pm #1548506thank you sir :)
Nov 27, 2009 at 7:52 pm #1548508My Raven XLW came in last week. Very nice fit for my Down Mat 7 + WM Badger. It came with the new "Omni Zip" set up -" The Omni Zip is a continuous zipper that runs up one side, across the chest, and down the other side… it has both a L and R side zip. There are 2 double tab zipper pulls that can meet up in the middle for a window type opening, or the top flap can be zipped completely open."
Not yet field tested…but I can say it is light for it's size @ 210g / 7.4oz
Nov 27, 2009 at 7:58 pm #1548510lots of features for being that light, the Down Mat 7 should be very close dimensionally to my Neo Air regular
Nov 27, 2009 at 8:08 pm #1548513Neo Reg works in there as well…tried it too. 210g includes the stuff sack. Mine does not have any bug net option.
Nov 27, 2009 at 8:10 pm #1548514probably don't need it for winter :)
mine will be for "summer" so I'll go w/ the netting, shouldn't add much to the weight
Nov 28, 2009 at 3:23 am #1548535Pedro,
I will be ordering an MLD to suit my NeoAir this week, will let you know what its like when it arrives.
Cheers
