I came out of MYOG retirement to make this bivy. Zpacks solo floor 1.0 cuben, topped with 2 layer eVent, 0.7 mesh. One Zipper on the chest, and a 32 inch waterproof zipper at the foot for venting. Shoulder/hip girth 72 inches, top/bottom 64 inches. It's getting dark hence the bad picture. Total weight 6.8 oz
Jul 15, 2012 at 7:36 pm #1895040Very cool bivy. I'm curious, because I'm thinking about a similar project: what was the weight/yard of your e-vent?
Jul 15, 2012 at 7:54 pm #1895048Nice :)
Jul 15, 2012 at 8:15 pm #1895054The weight of the eVent was about 1.5 oz/yd
Thanks Brad!

Jul 15, 2012 at 10:21 pm #1895089The eVent came from BPL, when they had the gear shop, as far as I know you can't buy eVent fabric anymore…bummer. I had 2 yards 50 ish inches wide that weighed about 5oz.

Can't think of a better app for 1.5 oz eVent.
Nice job. -
