Outdoor Research Advanced Bivy

Somewhere between a tent and a sleeping bag, the Outdoor Research Advanced Bivy ($300) is a compact shelter system designed for one. The Bivy features a breathable and waterproof Gore-Tex Respiration Positive fabric, a dual-pole system can be used for increased ventilation and interior space, and a Hydroseal coated waterproof nylon floor. A zippered foot section vent improves airflow after a campfire dinner of beans and cornbread.
