| Bivy collapsible shelter or sack is derived from the name
'bivouac sack' and was invented for climbers who craves for
light weather protection for their sleeping bags. The early
bivy sacks were only waterproof nylon slipcovers for
sleeping bags. These are great for protecting the sleeping
bags from rain but in terms of ventilation it is not as good
as our body heat produces ventilating vapon. The bivy collapsible shelter designs today has 2 tiers of fabric. The botoom tier is made of durable grade nylon (normally taffeta and solmetimes oxford) which is coated with urethane sol that the material becomes waterproof. This is same kind of material which are used for tent floors. The top tier is made of ripstop nylon which is a igniter fabric and also treated with a waterproof and breathable laminate (Gore Tex Tegraltex). Many layers of this laminate is applied to increase the durability and performance. Through the years the master bivy made way for the bivy shelter with tentlike features. The bivy shelter has 2 added characteristics not found in perpendicular bivys. There is an expanded sphere of shielded headspace plus a full enclosure to counter bad weather and insects. Theses adeed features became very popular with hikers mountaineers who want ultralight importance protective tents. Moreover some bivy tents include an ceremony for your head so some moisture (if it rains) does enter the tent through the unshielded ceremony. One can understate this by pulling the headhole´s drawstring snuggly. So who uses such bivy tents or sacks? People who traveling solo frequently in the backcountry long-distance bike trips big-wall climbers etc. Some versions of the bivy has region armholes that allow you to sort gear or cook while still being protected in the warmth of the bivy. Some have tall zippers which means better ventilation or straps for securing the sleeping pad in place. Bivys restricted airspace offers no sit-up space and it is tough if there is a storm. But sleeping in a bivy is like sleeping under the stars which can foreplay rather liberating. At the same time this lightweight carrier can sheild one from insects and bugs and the rainwater. If you are one who feels uncomfortable in tight spaces then you may feel uneasy in a bivy in bad weather. Modern bivys have overlapping corporeal and zippers that can help keep the interior of a bivy to an acceptable humidity level and a breathable waterproof bivy helps keep one cool and dry |
