Questions on Tripod Bivy

- How many layers of Gore-tex are used, and is there venting at the feet as well?
I am looking also at OR Advanced.
Thanks,
Mark - Thanks for the question. This bivy uses just one layer of Gore, but the Gore-Tex used is their most durable three layer laminate. It's designed for the abrasion of constant use, so it's quite durable. There is no venting at the foot. The opening can be left partially unzipped for ventilation (even if it's raining). The Advance bivy from OR uses very similar materials, just a different style of entry. The Tripod allows you to sit up, which makes it the winner in my book.
***The Tripod actually uses Todd-Tex: a form of Gore-tex with an almost fuzzy innermost layer. This prevents condensation buildup and allows more moisture vapor transfer in extremely humid environments*** - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- Description
-
Bibler's Tripod Bivy is a larger, more spacious version of the bivy sack for solo adventures, lightweight trips, or anytime you don't want to carry the extra weight of a tent (the Tripod weighs only 2.25 lbs). Three poles add head and foot room, increasing the usable interior space and eliminating the dreaded bivy claustrophobia. As always, ToddTex™ fabric provides protection from rain and snow, while allowing the breathability necessary for a comfortable, moisture-free night. The awning covered door allows easy venting and a view of the outside world. A laminated nylon floor will withstand the abuse of sleeping on snow or rock and mesh netting keeps the flying critters where they belong. Setup is easy, especially since the Tripod Bivy is free-standing, and the small size fits easily into a backpack, bike pack,or haul bag. Completely seam taped. (Description courtesy of Bibler)
