Some folks here have this bivy so I hope they can help me.

For winter use I want to use a BA Horse Thief (long) as an overbag to a Hydrogen (long), on top of a BA insul. mummy AC pad (also long), with a RidgeRest in there somewhere. Will this combination, along with my 6', 225 lb frame, fit inside the Bugaboo with room? I'm a side sleeper.

I flt fine in the bags above, I'm only concerned about the bivy.

Thanks

I fitted fine in one in a wm puma, 1cm pad and 1in torsolite. I'm 5'9, 160 lb – so I'd say probaly. Hard to say though without trying the system out yourself. one of the roomier bivys I've tried FWIW.

78 inside girth for the bivy. LINKY
72.5″ inside girth of the Horse Thief. With Pad inserted? LINKY

Measure around the outside of your lofted Horse Thief with the pad in it to see if it will fit.

I’d put the foam outside for more room, perhaps less condensation.

Thanks for everyone's input.

My comparison bivy is the MH Conduit SL, which is about 3" too narrow with the combination above. So I took a regular 72" ThermaRest, turned it sideways and rolled it to match the shoulder girth of the Conduit SL, which turns out to be 66". Since the Bugaboo is 78", I should be OK, as well as Santa!

Thanks.

Simon, if you are still reading the forums, I'm wondering if you ever purchased a Bugaboo? I'm curious as to how it fit for you as I am also a big boy and a side sleeper. Thanks.
