I just finished sewing another bivy sack. This one is Momentum fabric on top and coated nylon on the bottom. I made it large enough to cover my best winter sleeping bag, so it is very roomy for a summer bag. I put one 30" zipper down the side, and then one 30" zipper across the top, shoulder to shoulder. As a result of two zippers, the total weight was up to 8.6 ounces.

If I had done the whole thing out of Momentum, made it snugger, and did something lighter with a zipper, I probably could have kept the weight to 5 ounces.

The top is black. The bottom is black. The zippers are black. There isn't a lot to see. No net. No windows.

If the fabric had some unique design pattern to it, then a photo would be nice. If the overall design had some unique feature sewn in, then a photo would be nice. If my sewing workmanship was something great, then a photo would be nice.

This thing is plain black, so shooting a photo of it would look about the same as shooting a black cat eating licorice in a coal bin at midnight.

So I'll play dumb here…
I've never seen a black bivy before… Bob could you please post a picture of yours? That would be great.

Seriously though, I wouldn't mind seeing what you did for bug protection. I am considering some options for my tarp setup.

Since photographer Bob won't play along. Here are couple of shots of my all black giant sized Meteor bivy. Big enough for a large Neoair and my 25 degree WM bag and my 6'3" self with room for my pack if need be. Nanoseeum mesh, momentum top, and silnylon bottom.

I will be happy (and proud) to post pictures of my custom "all black" 2010 MLD SL Bivy. Black bottom, black top, black zipper and black full net hood. Ron, as always, did a great job.

Actually, there are no photos at all.

"Seriously though, I wouldn't mind seeing what you did for bug protection. I am considering some options for my tarp setup."

I didn't say anything about bug protection, because there is none.
