BD Lightsabre Review

“Ok I took the lightsabre bivy on this past weekends hike in the Catskills. Great shelter for one person, the weight is 1lb 5 oz and it stuffs smaller than a Nalgene. The first night it was chilly probably in the 30's and I expecienced no noticable condensation. The room iside was enough for me to take my Z-pac inside with me and I would have taken my shoes inside also if they were not muddy. The pack and shoes can fit down near my feet.
The second night it was again cool and it rained some, not a heavy rain but enough to get everything wet, that is except inside the bivy. I had no leakage problems, the water beaded right off. It even pooled in some spots and never wet thru the fabric.
I will still always carry a tarp with this bivy, I hope to get or make a 6x6 or 5x8 to use as a cooking/gear shelter. I would also rig this over the opening of the bivy in rain to make getting in and out easier and drier.”

I'm still going to try my 8x10 siltarp/Golite Nest 1 combo sometime this summer...”

“I debated buying the Lightsabre but didn't want to drop the coin for it. Glad its working for you.”
