Outdoor Research Bug Bivy: The Perfect Summer Shelter? 

@@Robert-cd5zr I've got the Lixada one, both the mesh and solid version and I get on with it OK, it is pretty tight though as you said! I've sold this one now as I just don't get on with clamshell designs.

Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment, much appreciated. Have a good one.

I've since sold it, you can get them fairly cheap used. You tempted to get one?

I've got the Outdoor Research Helium Bivy arriving soon, will be interesting to compare that to it in weight and size. As you say, a normal bivy offers a lot more flexibility as you don't need a tarp. With this one you can skip the tarp if you know it is warm and dry... But here in the UK that's not a given!

Nice. I've since sold this in favour of a roomier Bivy.

@@TheWalkingKev nice

If I was battling midges in Scotland I'd pack two of them based on some of the videos I've seen!

Cheers John. Here's hoping we get a summer now!

The laid back bee keeper!

No I've not. I will have a Google. Have you used one?

Challenge accepted. I'll use it on my next snow camp.

Just a fine mesh.

​@@TheWalkingKev Do u feel suffocated in it? I saw one negative reply that said u feel suffocated in it and need to open zipper

@@tzenty I don't feel suffocated in this kind of thing, but I don't like the clamshell opening. I prefer this setup because zip opens the length of it, although I appreciate you need to have poles or trees to pitch it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eXzuThYEDLA.html

They should prizes out for being first!

@@TheWalkingKev your videos and your lovely voice are enough

@@TimelordUK you're too kind!
