 Ingenius product that keeps the bugs away January 7, 2010
S. Watkins (Fairbanks, AK USA)
This is a marvel of engineering. You unzip the top, slide your sleeping bag in, then you get in and zip it up. Presto! No more bugs. The flexible hoop that keeps the netting up and off your face easily folds down flat when you are not inside the bag. The best part is the hoop breaks down into several pieces and the whole thing stores in a small pouch, about the size of one of those compact raincoat pouches. The construction of the solid piece of vinyl that comprises the bottom of the bag feels a bit flimsy. I was always afraid I was going to rip it, but I never had a problem. I used this bag for approx. 45 straight days and have no complaints.
 Bug Bivy Review March 28, 2007
James L. Wertz (USA)
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
The Bug Bivy is a fine product and meets all of the needs one would have on an expedition where mosquitoes are a consideration. I took the bivy to Africa recently and used it in several different indoor and outdoor settings. It was easy to carry, setup and sleep in. My only criticisms are: I had a few minutes of confusion as to how to insert the support pole into the bivy as there were no instructions included with the product. However, I later discovered that one of the tags on the bivy had instructions for setup and I had missed it. The support pole's sections are a bit long for carry in a normal backpack. Even if placed in the bottom of my pack, the poles poke right up against the pack lining and are likely to either cause rub damage to the bivy's carry sack or the same to the inside of my pack.
