Hyperlite Mountain Gear Splash Bivy - is designed for backpackers, thru-hikers, and fastpackers who prioritize covering long distances over spending extended time at camp. Weighing 157 grams for the regular size and 178 grams for the long, it offers a lightweight sleep system with basic coverage. The bivy can be used alone on dry nights or paired with a 2.4 x 3.0 meters Flat Tarp or UltaMid 1 in wet conditions. Key features include a bathtub floor with 23-centimeter tall side walls made of DCF8 Dyneema Composite Fabric, NoSeeUm mesh for bug protection and airflow, and a 7D DWR micro ripstop nylon exterior shell.
The Splash Bivy has a two-part construction consisting of a durable Dyneema floor and a ripstop nylon and mosquito-mesh upper. Its tent-like design requires staking down the four corners and utilizing a guy line attached to two adequately spaced trees or poles to create a three-dimensional space. Once set up, the bivy provides a breathable interior with sufficient headroom and protects the sleeping pad from ground punctures due to its sturdy floor. The bivy does not include a guy line or stakes, which must be purchased separately. Pairing it with a tarp is recommended for additional weather protection.
For those who value compatibility and durability in their gear, the Splash Bivy presents a lightweight option that balances protection and breathability. While it is not completely weather-proof, it serves as a suitable choice for high-mileage adventurers willing to supplement it with a cost-effective tarp solution. The bivy's design considerations make it a practical addition for users seeking to minimize weight and setup time without compromising on essential shelter needs.
