I'm in the market for a new bivy. Before I get rid of my current one I'd like to get some of your advice on different types. Currently I have and older Zpacks Splash bivy, size regular. My issues with the bivy is the size (to tight), and the length. I use a katabatic palisade with a neoair xlite and its just too tall for the bivy I think. I also would like a little more length incase I slide around at all. Getting to the point I have been looking at a MLD superlight bivy in a size regular also. Comparing the two bivys it does look like the superlight is a tad bigger. Is it a good move to switch ?

Sorry, I can't comment on either bivy as I have never tried or even seen one in use on the trail. I do, however, use borah gears bug bivies and snowy side event bivy and I am 100% satisfied..no complaints at all. I also use a katabatic gear bristlecone bivy which I love. These bivys all work for me year round. I would not even think about switching up, that's how happy I am useing them. Soooo..only thing I can say to you is at least consider the options. I'm sure MLD bivy is top notch, as is everything they produce. I use his cuben grace solo and duo tarps over my bivies when the weather calls. ..I'm sure it's just what you needed..more decisions, lol.

I actually was just looking at the cuben bivy from borah gear. hows the overall quality? I read some pretty good reviews of their bivys, I also like the idea of all bug netting up top.

Great quality and he will do custom work if you need. Look a few posts down and I posted some pictures of a custom 2 man bug bivy in use.
