I want a pole to keep the bivy off my face. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of weight for this feature. The deluxe is the lightest single pole bivy I've seen.
That pole is nice I have been in a fair amount of down pours 70mph winds snow whatever elements in my bivy bag.. but I find that most of the time I am expecting good weather when I use my bivy bag so I leave it open. And when I do have to zip it shut (leave at least 6inch open because there is nothing like dying in a bivy bag) and use the rope to prop the top open. But you need to have a pole I think bibler makes a ligher one that my freind uses
Freezing barrifes can lead to hypothermia but most likely its the on set of frost nip.. and the reheating is the recircliation of the blood in your hand nothing big is just hurts like hell.. So over are freezing barfies and hypothermia are not realiated
