Looking for a new Shelter, been using tents but want to go to something which is lighter, more compact and faster to pitch.
It would be used in a range of different terrains, from forest to exposed open tops with minimal cover. In general the weather would be cool with low-average humidity. Although it also has to stand up to strong winds, heavy rain and potential snow. It also has to be insect proof. So looking for a complete enclosure.
I am also quite tall 6ft4 (193cm) so would be looking for something with a bit of length. Thinking (90in)230cm of internal length would be ideal. In the case of a bivy / bivy bag I would prefer one with a pole to keep the fabric off my face. I get a bit claustrophobic when things get to tight.
I also do not use trekking poles so they can not be used as part of the frame.
I have written quite a list of expectations, Hopefully I have covered all of my requirements… Any suggestions?
I been looking at the Exped Event Bivy Bags, but they are quite expensive. Also researched the Integral Design range but open to any suggestions.
