Mountain Hardwear Rock Sack Bivy

Mountain Hardwear Rock Sack Bivy description

The Mountain Hardwear Rock Sack Bivy is an ideal ultralight shelter for alpine and big-wall climbing.

Bottom Line: At only 1lb 2oz, the Mountain Hardwear Rock Sack Bivy weighs less than most jackets and lets you stay tied in at bivys.

It's too small. I'm too big. Fresh air is about 18 inches away from your mouth. The only gear purchase I regret. I went with DIY replacement and am now much happier as I sleep in bivvy sack in a snow trench beneath a pyramid tarp in winter and feel bombprooof.

This Bivy is fine if you don't want to use it on day-to-day basis. The hood is kind of narrow to get in (guess it is really waterproof for that). It is difficult to enter with a bulky sleeping bag and once inside you don't have a lot of space to close the sleeping bag and adjust the cords. It might be alright during the summer with a smaller sleeping bag - I haven't tested that yet. How ever I am not impressed with it during winter trips.
