Borah side zip bivy

No direct experience…… yet

But take into account the thickness and width of your sleeping pad.

He responds to email really quickly. Send him a message and do tell him what temp rating quilt and what width pad you will use.

I’m 6’1” and 180. I have the regular length wide version and for me it’s too wide. I’m also a side sleeper. It’s so wide for me that the sides of the bottom fabric are almost at ground level and I find myself sort of sliding around inside it. But I suspect it’s all a matter of personal preference.

Talk to John,  he’s awesome and responds pretty fast

Bivy’s are already confining enough.. i would go wide just for extra tossing and turning room..

you could have him make the bottom a little wider than the top so the top isn’t touching the ground.

(im 6’2 195 and have a long/wide. seems to fit well.)

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve emailed with him and got it all sorted out. I went with a wide because my BA pad is 3”. I’d like to have one bivy to use all year which includes winter with a -25 bag and a foam pad underneath, so I’ll need the extra room. I also bought a bug bivy and went with a regular width on that one.

Makes perfect sense, glad it worked out. He makes good stuff!
