Truth About Using a Bivy
The topic of this video deals with Bivy’s and specifically on when to use them and when not to. Before going any further, do keep in mind that these are my thoughts, my experiences and are based on using bivys for decades. Since I started the channel, you all have seen me use a bivy in rain with a tarp, in freezing rain and sleet all by itself, you have seen me use them in cold conditions below 0f and in the snow. I have also a bivy on warm summer nights in very humid conditions.
To start, lets go over what a bivy is;
Bivy sack, aka, bivouac sacks are specialized pieces of gear and like any tool will have a right time and place to use. This is true with virtually any piece of gear but bivys are especially polarizing in terms of use; they can be amazing in certain situations or downright awful!
It was invented to serve climbers who wanted lightweight emergency weather protection for sleeping bags during multiple-day ascents, particularly on big walls.
Early bivy sacks were little more than waterproofed nylon slipcovers for sleeping bags—good for shielding sleeping bags from rain, not so good when ventilating vapor produced by body heat.
Bivy design today involves 2 tiers of fabric:
· The bottom tier typically consists of a durable grade of nylon coated with urethane to make it waterproof. This is the same material used for most tent floors.
· The top tier is usually made of ripstop nylon (a lighter fabric) and treated with a waterproof, breathable laminate such as Gore-Tex®.
Types of Bivys :
Structured vs. Non-structured. Structured bivy sacks are great if you like a little bit extra wiggle room. They give you extra head space and breathing room. Non-structured are perfect for when you reach extreme elevations, and you really need to cuddle up to hide against the elements.
There are also Bivy Tents like the Ionosphere but that is more of a tent than a bivy and won’t be discussed in this video.
Fabrics. There is a wide range of materials which are used for bivys including gore-tex, nylon, and so on. Goretex in general is the most expensive due to the waterproof and breathable properties of gore-tex…those benefits translate to heavier weight. Nylon will be less expensive, less breatable, lighter in terms of weight.
Openings. Some allow for you to crawl in, some unzip and you plop yourself inside of. Some can be closed up completely to block bugs and some will remain open.
Size/weight. While fabric has a lot to do with the weight of your bivy sack, there are plenty of options to choose from in size. Because the bivy sack was created for the minimalist, you do have many ultralight options. Remember, not all bivys are light and in fact, some can be heavier than a 1 person tent.
Pros : Generally lightweight, can add up to 10 degrees to your sleep system which may be desired for cold weather trips, most are either waterproof or at least, water resistant, can be bug proof if your model is sealable, when using a bivy by itself and in good conditions, you are going to be able to make camp in places you never thought possible; locations were are impossible for tents and other shelters. Block the wind wonderfully. Super easy, simple and quick setups
Cons : Not a good solution for rainy and wet conditions unless used with a tarp, bivys add numerous degrees of warmth to your sleep system which you may not desire if it is warm and humid. Condensation issues are common with bivys, bugs can be unless your bivy features a way to seal up the entrance….if you can seal yourself in, you will be adding more warmth and will be limiting your venting…that equals more moisture. Bivys are generally very limiting in terms of space….if you love being restricted and having limited amounts of room to move around, you’ll love a bivy (most people don’t like either of these). If you are a fan of sprawling out and having a lot of space, a bivy can take some time to get accustomed to.

Integral Designs eVent Micro Bivy Sack
I invested in a winter bivy sack this year because I wanted to be able to use it for camping under a shaped tarp or in snow shelters, as a lighter weight alternative to my Black Diamond FirstLight winter tent. I also do more day hikes in winter than overnight backpacking trips, and I wanted a lightweight shelter to bring along for emergency use, in case I have an unexpected night out.
The difference between 3 season bivies and winter ones really comes down to size. For a winter bivy, you need extra girth and length to hold a sub-zero sleeping bag, without compressing its loft and reducing its ability to hold your body heat. Winter bivies should also be a little more resistant to puncture, particularly for use in snow shelters, and to help retain more warmth..
Earlier in the year, I made a decision to buy an Alpine Bivy from Mountain Laurel Designs, since renamed the eVent Soul Bivy, for winter use. MLD also makes my 3-season bivy sack, the Superlight, which is an awesome product, and was a huge success for me last year. So, it might come as a surprise to many of you that I bought an Integral Designs Micro Bivy, instead.
Price Sensitivity
Honestly, I changed my tune because of price. While almost 50% heavier, the Micro Bivy cost half of what I would have had to pay for the MLD Alpine Bivy. Except for weight (18.5 oz vs. 12.75 oz), the two products are almost identical to one another, except that the MLD bivy has a side zipper. In the end, I just couldn’t cost justify paying over $30 per ounce, for the lighter weight but more expensive product, so I bought the ID Micro Bivy instead.
Functionally, the Micro Bivy has a 3 layer eVent top and a 70 denier nylon base, almost identical to eVent Soul Bivy from MLD, but without a zipper. While a zipper would make peeing at night a bit more convenient, there’s enough slack fabric in the hood of the Micro that I can scootch my butt up into it from my sleeping bag and hit my pee bottle without any issues.
This might sound like a private concern, but in winter it helps to hydrate all night long to make up for the fact that you can’t drink enough water during the day. You can’t stop to melt more snow when hiking without getting chilled and you can’t carry a full day’s supply because it’s too heavy.
Micro Bivy Dimensions
So far, I’ve used the Micro Bivy on two nights under a shaped tarp and I expect to use it in a snow shelter by the end of this winter. It’s large enough to contain an inflatable down pad and a -25 degree sleeping bag without compressing the loft. It’s 88 inches long, with a tapered torso (72″ in chest, 64″ in hip, 58″ in foot.)
Construction wise, the Micro Bivy Sack is built like a tank. All of the seams are factory taped and the stitching is tight. The hood has a slight peak on top and has an elastic cord running around its circumference, with cord locks over the shoulders to close the sack off from the elements. In practice, I’ve found it a little difficult to pull closed, but in a worst case scenario, such as a blizzard or driving rain, the Micro is long enough that you can scrunch down it’s length (88 inches) and fold over the door area for additional protection.
Breathability
I have experienced minor condensation on the top of my sleeping bag when using the Micro, but it froze on the surface of my sleeping bag and I was able to shake it off the next morning without the liner getting wet. Truth is, I was experimenting that night with chemical warmers and I got too hot in my sleeping bag. My guess is that the sweat condensed and froze before it could breath through the bivy’s eVent top.
The next night I slept without a chemical warmer and didn’t experience any condensation, despite the fact that more snow fell that evening. Honestly, I’m not that worried about condensation in the Micro, especially since I only plan to use it in winter when normal nighttime temperatures range from the single digits to 15 below zero (F). Crazy, huh?
This may change when I use the bivy in snow shelters that are warmer and have a potentially more humid micro-climate. It will be interesting to see what happens then and whether the eVent top is really required, or whether the condensation will continue to freeze on the top of the sleeping bag as before.
Conclusion
The Integral Designs Micro Bivy Sack is perfectly adequate for my needs and I expect it to perform well on winter trips for years to come. However, what was striking about this purchase was the fact that I bought a heavier product over a lighter one, based on price. I haven’t done that for a long time.
Truth is, my winter backpacking/mountaineering gear list is hovering around 28 lbs, which I consider to be pretty good, and I’m not ready to spend much more to buy its weight down until I wear out some gear and need to replace it.

Integral Designs Micro Bivy
Forget paper-thin emergency sacks. This bivy stuffs smaller than a soda can and weighs less than most T-shirts, yet with taped seams and waterproof/breathable nylon fabric, it fends off wind and rain. Designers skipped zippers and snaps, and used an ultralight 15-denier fabric.
The combo saves beaucoup weight, but makes proper entry technique crucial to prevent rips: Stand in the foot section and pull it over your head before kneeling or sitting. Once you’re inside, it performs just like a classic bivy, including the minor condensation a tester felt during a winter storm in Utah. Downside: The ultrathin fabric needs TLC if you don’t have a pad. $125; 6.7 oz.; montbell.us
