I know this is a longshot, but does anyone have a Borah Gear Snowyside bivy with a 30D floor?

I am considering buying one when BG comes back with their 25% sale, but I would like to know the weight first. I asked John a few months back and he thought it would be 18oz. Just wanted to see if the community had any knowledge.

Thanks!

I ordered one with an event floor, full side zip, taped seams, it came in at not far off 2lbs so sold it.

That's what I am worried about. I know that MLD's Soul in a large, post seam-sealing, will weight about 16oz. I can't justify the cost of the Soul if the BG Snowyside with a 30D floor only weighs 18oz.

I may have to be the guinea pig and bite the bullet.

I have the snowyside all event bivy. If I remember correctly when I weighed it, she came at 23 ounces. I used it a few weeks ago on Hunter mountain in Catskills NY..plenty of snow. We hiked up at 9 pm, slept in a lean to (John Robb), and woke up in morning with plenty more snow on ground. The wind blew some snow in on us during the night. .bivy worked great. I planned on pairing that bivy with my MLD cuben Grace solo tarp if needed. 30 ounces combined for my winter setup isn't too bad in my opinion..
