I am looking into getting a bivy sack. I have a super lightweight tent but looking to go smaller for solo trips. Anyone use one and can give a recommendation? Looking into OR Advanced currently on sale but maybe there is a cheaper option out there that still works?
Does the pole add in terms of comfort or is that a gimmick? It looks(!) like otherwise you end up with plastic in your face? Is that really distracting or manageable for you?
Any and all thoughts appreciated
