MSR E-bivy vs REI minimalist and MSR E-Wing vs Internal Design Siltarp 8' x 5'
I have looked around and found little reviews on those. I am considering about getting a bivy/tarp combo for a newbie like me who is trying to ditch the tent and get a taste of the UL backpacking.
So far, I am thinking about going with the minimalist because the e-bivy does not have a net to cover my face and I am afraid I might suffocate with the solid cover available. Also, people keep mentioning that the e-bivy is only good for emergency. But I like the idea of it being light.
I am thinking about the Siltarp for the tarp as it is a rectangle and from the pictures, it looks like it has more attachment points.
Any recommendations?
Thanks guys,
