The Hyperlite Mountain Gear Splash Bivy is an ultra-lightweight accessory for avid backpackers, fastpackers and thru-hikers alike that will enable them to easily setup a small campsite wherever they go.
The unit is targeted towards solo travelers who need to keep their gear load light and is suitable for use on its own on dry nights. The shelter can also be used with a flat tarp or Mid 1 Tarp when the conditions are wet to make it great for all-weather use. The tall walls for the floor section offer protection from both the rain and bugs, which will allow for a comfortable sleep from virtually anywhere.
The Hyperlite Mountain Gear Splash Bivy is priced at $250 and collapses down into a compact pouch when not in use.
