Products in this list
- Helium UL Bivy by Outdoor Research — The most built-out of the bivy options in this list. It’s waterproof, breathable, offers a bug net, and offers substantially more livable space thanks to the pole frame.
- Trailhead Bivy by Rab — An inexpensive option for a waterproof, breathable, minimal bivy.
- FKT ProVent UL BIVY by Mountain Laurel Designs — The lightest of the bivy options in this list. It’s waterproof and breathable, but doesn’t provide much livable space.
- Hexamid Pocket Tarp by Zpacks — Very simple, light, 1-person, 1-pole tarp with a small footprint for areas with little space for setting up a tent.
- UltaMid 1 by Hyperlite Mountain Gear — Very simple, light, 1-person, 1-pole tarp with a small footprint for areas with little space for setting up a tent.
