Mountain Hardwear Conduit SL Bivy

Mountain Hardwear Conduit SL Bivy description

The Mountain Hardwear Conduit SL Bivy zips onto any mummy bag with a compatible 70 inch zipper. The Conduit SL membrane wicks interior moisture away from your body and out of your sleeping bag, while giving you extra protection from cold, windy, wet weather. The bivy's zipper is waterproof, and the floor seams are hot taped. Tie-out loops for a attaching a Mountain Hardwear sleeping pad and a drawcord hood closure system round out this bomb-proof bivy.

Bottom Line: When you need to put one more layer between yourself and harsh weather, zip into the Mountain Hardwear Conduit SL Bivy.

Mountain Hardware came through on this bivy design. The combo of my North Face Momentum 900 sleeping bag and the MH Bivy made a warmth combination hard to beat. - it may have been -1F outside - not including wind chill - but the warmth of this combo made it difficult to get out of the tent in the AM.

I've owned this product for over year and still can't make up my mind if it was a good purchase.I got it to use as an extra layer of protection from light snow and condensation during winter camping in tents and shelters. On several occasions in the Adirondacks on 15-20 degree nights have found it to actually cause my sleeping bag to get damper on the outer surfaces than when I used nothing.Recently I've used it to sleep out sans tent in 30 degree nights through light rain/snow and it performed well. My sleeping bag and I remained dry.My theory is that in a confined space such as a tent or shelter (in this case a 3 walled AT stye shelter with a tarp across the front to block wind) the air itself becomes moist from the people inhabiting that space. This prevents efficient moisture transfer through the Conduit SL material. However, when used outside in open air the Conduit SL material does not appear to have this issue.I haven't used it in warmer temperatures or in a true wet/rainy situation so I can't comment on that.I'd recommend it for tarp or open air campers only.
