Terminal_Gravity Posted November 4, 2001 Posted November 4, 2001 Does anyone want to sell theirs or know where I can buy a new one at less than retail. I prefer long. Alternately, I welcome any comments (spray) on what you think is a better single shelter. Quote
Lambone Posted November 5, 2001 Posted November 5, 2001 My lady friend has one of those (sorry-not for sale)... She loves it for backpacking, but is probably not the best bivi for technical climbing. If you want something that will work better in a small bivi spot (like a snow hole or a small ledge) go with the climbers version of the regular Bibler bivi sac. It comes with a tie in loop that is sewn through and sealed. [ 11-04-2001: Message edited by: lambone ] Quote
Jarred_Jackman Posted November 13, 2001 Posted November 13, 2001 I personally would go with an integral designs bivy, it's a little smaller than the bibler and just as bomber, it's not as much of a tent though.If you're still wanting a bibler though I could probably get one to you for about $260, I would have the check on that if you're interested.Let me know.

Beck Posted November 13, 2001 Posted November 13, 2001 Beta on Bibler Tripod bivy suggests the way the poles are put in the bivy makes them prone to wear/tear/ failure. Have you tried setting one of these up in a store? Very suspect on how the foot hoop is attached as well- I'd recommend the standard Bibler Big Wall bivy, plenty of room in there to read a book, eat, store gear, they are the roomiest single bivy sack I've ever seen!

Terminal_Gravity Posted November 14, 2001 Author Posted November 14, 2001 Thank you all for the info. I think that I'd better get in a few in the stores before I decide on one. My problem is that the nearest store is 4 hours away. Beck, I am suprised that there is as much room as you say in the Big Wall. That makes it much more atractive. Quote
gregm Posted November 14, 2001 Posted November 14, 2001 i have the tripod and use it a lot. it's more of a one person tent than a bivy bag. even with lots of practice it's still a pain to set up, and no, it's not good on small ledges. that said, it is very comfortable inside and i have slept through snow and rainstorms where people in standard bags have been extremely miserable. you might get an ok deal from northernmountain.com Quote
Yungaburra Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 I also have one, which I traveled through Australia and then NewZealand with. Wasn't in snow, but the thing is bomber in tropical rain storms, and humidity. They are right when they say it is a little more like a tent than a bivi bag though. but you can vent the door, even in the rain which makes for a more pleasnt night. good luck Quote
