Bivy-To zip or not to zip

Christopher,

It's just easier to adjust my quilt (or bag) to get comfortable w/a zipper. However, It's not so much of an issue if you use a quilt w/a footbox since you can slide into your quilt & then wiggle into the zipperless bivy. But you will still run into a little more "tangling" of the quilt w/o a zipper.

Of course, you save a little weight w/o a zipper.

Just got the Vapr Bivy w/o zip. I have the JRB NS quilt. Tried it indoors. Was easy to position the quilt by pushing it down into the bivy with my feet.

After getting everything comfy and zipping the net, I realized that it took a bit of effort to learn how to unzip the net and gain my escape. That plus it was getting toasty in there. My wife enjoyed observing the event. Because she was humored by it, she missed the pinatas opportunity : )

Thanks Todd and George thats the kind if info I was looking for.
