Outdoor Research Stargazer Bivy

A highly-breathable, lightweight, and weather-protective minimalist shelter, the Outdoor Research Stargazer Bivy allows backpackers and alpinists to hunker down from the elements when necessary but also take in the night sky when conditions clear.

Designed to snugly accommodate most backpacking-style sleeping bags and sleeping pads, the bivy measures 82" x 26" at its widest point. It does taper to 19.5" wide at the feet to save on weight and minimize packed size. An integrated Delrin pole runs over the top of the bag, keeping material off of your face and providing nearly 20" of headroom while you are lying flat on your back. When not needed, the Delrin pole can be left at home, shaving an additional 2 ounces off of the 19.2 ounce packed weight of the bivy.

The bivy is constructed of Outdoor Research's proprietary Ascentshell fabric. This ripstop nylon with a polyester backer incorporates mechanical stretch and excellently balances durability, breathability, and weatherproof protection. No-see-um netting at the opening of the bivy provides an unimpeded view of the stars on clear nights while still keeping bugs from find their way into the bivy. A ripstop nylon floor with TPU lamination bolsters durability and further ensures weather protection. All of the bivy's seams are tape sealed.

The Outdoor Research Stargazer Bivy is available in your choice of color options. A stuff sack is included.
