UOG TOP PICK: The Lifesystems Venture Solo Hooped Bivi offers solo campers a lightweight, durable, and minimalist shelter. The bivy bag is made of sturdy 70D ripstop nylon and protects against rain, wind, and abrasion. A top pick for a fast and light bivi

Lifesystems says:

A lightweight and generously proportioned bivi that is easy to deploy. Ideal for hikers, bikers, or outdoor minimalists that offers excellent levels of waterproofness and breathability.

Once assembled, the arched pole allows the head end to be raised, creating a useful vestibule area. If the weather allows, the hood panel can be tied back and the secondary mesh panel zipped closed to keep the bugs out while allowing you to keep cool on warmer/dry nights. In wetter conditions, close the main entrance and hunker down knowing the waterproof fabric will keep you dry.
