sean_beanntan Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Really like the Guides Siltarp 2, with velcro you can use as a bivy sack. But i am looking for something that is breathable and about the same size. Has anyone used this as a bivy sack(condensation?) or know of some other product? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaee Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Just think about laying on a siltarp will turn it into cheesecloth if there's rock or sand nearby. I've seen some ultralight guys use Tyvek (the building material) or mylar. Tyvek seems like a good idea, but I imagine the mylar would be a bit noisy. I think there are guys selling precut Tyvek chunks out on the internet for use as tarps. A bit more spendy, but still pretty light, is the OR winter sack. It's a sleeping bag cover made of dryloft. Not recommended for heavy precip, though. Don't know if they're still making them, but they're under a pound and can be zipped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one time I checked it out in the store it looked pretty cool. Not worth the $120 to me cool, but still cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
