Several years ago I bought a Titanium Goat bivy sack, and it’s been great. I’ve used this as my sole shelter when the forecast is clear out in the desert of Big Bend. I’ve also used it as a complete “container” to bundle my sleep system under a tarp, guard against rain spray, and extend the effective range of my 30° quilt.
… And now my friends want their own 😅 and in particular, they want them FAST for a desert trip we’re doing in just 3 weeks.
I haven’t followed gear makers closely in the last few years, but it seems like Ti Goat is no more. My next bet would be Borah Gear, but they have a multi-week lead time. I see MLD has the Superlight bivy, but that’s a little more spendy – and a little less mesh in the hood – than what I’m looking for.
I’m not sure where else to look. Can someone suggest an ultralight bivy model that meets the following criteria?
- Available for sale immediately: needs to ship in – let’s say – 1-2 business days
- Ultralight – about 8oz or less
- Has a waterproof floor paired with an upper that is breathable (and possibly water resistant)
- Some amount of mesh in the hood
Thank you!
