Pack too heavy? Tired of carrying that heavy tent?

I designed the waterproof / breathable Uber Bivy after a very cold night during a Mt. Whitney winter rescue.
It has lots of room and is the most comfortable bivy you have ever slept in.

I am confident in my Uber Bivy and will back it up with a 100% refund if you are not satisfied.
Just make sure you use the groundsheet and don't abuse it for 1-2 nights.
If not happy, just send it back undamaged and I will refund your money.
It's that simple!

Now the challenge is to find a good storm to sleep in :)

Pictures of poles (1 inch grid). Very flexible and strong.

My first set of pictures with my daughter did not really show the size of this tent/bivy.
So I asked my friend (6' 9") and his wife to model my bivy sacks for the photos shown here.

Trip Reports and Reviews

Here is the setup and packing of the Uber Bivy.
I wanted to do this outside but I have not had much time. Hopefully this will force me to do it right!
Notice the folding and rolling to get it bag in the bag :)
Here is one of my customers testing his bivy :)
See it at the Whitney Portal Store!
