A sleeping, or at least prone and stationary, person seems pretty unlikely to startle them or make them feel under threat. You might use it more than you expect, hostels can be few and far between in some areas when on foot. Fully waterproof, light and breathable Compact size for easy carrying Roomy enough for you and your kit Sometimesyou need a weatherproof space for rest and shelter - but youcan only carry the bare essentials. Well put it this way, I have read a bit about ultralight tents over the past two days, and I have decided that I want the flexibility to camp because I don't want to plan out everything in my journey (I don't think of it so much as an expedition as a walk into the beyond). came back this morning from the peak district after spending the night under the tree line just using this bivvy, sleeping bag and roll mat.
You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. We also managed to fit our rucksack down at the bottom of the bag – the length is 250cm in total which is about optimum for bivvys. Our answer is “when it uses two fibre glass poles rather than one or a separate fly sheet”, but no it doesn’t matter. I've got extended guy lines on mine, which allows me to use my second trekking pole to change the direction of pull of one end, slightly increasing headroom over one end. The material used for the top section of the bivvy is Rab’s eVent waterproof and breathable technical fabric which is 40 dernier and consists of three layers sandwiched together.I think they are more useful in the mountains where you don't have room to pitch a tent (even there a small bivvy tent is much better if you can find space for it. There is an integrated hood to cover your head for shelter, but it is only sealed up tight using a drawstring rather than a zip. Its a very spacious little thing, and well ventilated to minimise condensation, but you will get some.
However, the Oex Bush Pro might help me to use a smaller rucksack (which might ideally fit in hand luggage on the plane - otherwise I have an 80-litre Karrimor rucksack). In summary, although it is highly expensive and rivalling some of the better one person tents as a purchase, the Rab Ridge Raider has the best performance of any bivvy bag we’ve tested.

Putting the bivy tent up for the first time took me about 10 minutes, but I think I could probably half that with a bit of practice.I could be wrong as I have never actually been there, but my impression is there will be extended stretches without suitably spaced pairs of trees at all. Which gives a bivvi or tent with a smaller area an advantage in the practicality of airing it to my mind.
Great Deal
