I picked one up used from BPL last fall, weight was 4.0 ounces with stuff sack !
Stitching is really nice, the floor is very thin 7D (?) silnylon so I'd use it with some kind of ground sheet. I cowboy camp whenever possible so I take one for that, not really added weight to me. I don't mind the chest-only zipper since I'm used to scrunching into my zipperless/headless sleeping bag (FF vireo). It has a D-ring to pull the netting away from your face, I stuck a z-packs patch on the footbox to add the option of pulling that away from the bag. It stuck OK but part of it is falling off…
I can fit my REI -20 sleeping bag in it with a little room to spare but not enough for any kind of real sleeping pad.
As far as the breathability question it doesn't seem great but I've only used it in below freezing temperatures so far. I get a lot of frost on the inside but I don't know what would happen if it were warmer out. Sheds snow wonderfully though!
Been meaning to write a review but I really need to test it in above-freezing temperatures. No idea what the top material is, been meaning to email RL about that…
Michael, hey thanks for the review. That is one light bivy, tempting though Borah is having a 25 per cent off sale this week…
Yep I couldnt resist. $76 shipped for a new side zip 6.2oz bivy? I'm in.
