That looks pretty darn nice.  Please let me know what you think of it after you try it out.  Where did you buy it?

I thought they were such interesting bivy's that I included this discussion on winter bivy's from Backpackinglight.com in my reference list at the bottom of the page of my bivy condensation piece.

I have had some discussions with David (Miles) about the fabrics he is using.  I am interested in seeing how they work in the long run.

You know, I was a bit nebulus on what "bivy" meant.  I take it a "bivy" is a small one-man tent. 

I thought we had been "bivying" when we camp like this, our main mode of camping, unless it's too cold:

One learns something new everyday!
That is a nice bivy though!

Got it on that website; this guy makes them at his house; I like the idea of a bivy, but I want a little more room than the traditional bivy, and I like to read my Kindle after a long day of hiking, etc.  So, this one looks poretty ideal; also, it's a pound or a pound and a half or so.  I'm using it in east Texas this weekend and will report.
