Hi all, just thought I'd post some pictures of the bivy sack I recently completed. This is the first large myog project I've done, until now all I've made were stuff sacks. I guess this is similar to a meteor bivy but I sewed it from a patern of my own making. I was going for a nice fitted design.
The bottom is silnylon the top is teflon DWR and nanoseeum mesh all from Thruhiker. I used the cheaper and heavier materials for my first attempt. I'm planning on making a second one with momentum and spinnaker. I don't have a scale so I don't have a weight for this yet but it doesn't seem to be very heavy. The zipper runs all the way around the mesh and then on down the right side allowing the mesh to be folded down out of the way if not needed. which for me will be 80% of the time.
Last weekend my wife and I were out for two nights in the Nantahala National Forest and I got to test the bivy under a GG Spinntwinn tarp. We had thunderstorms with very heavy rain both nights and the bivy sack did great!
