Hey everyone,
I'm in the market for a bivy bag. I'll be using it from backpacking to alpine climbing to ski-touring, in all sorts of conditions. I'm not really sure where to start looking, but my requirements are that its under 2 lbs (the lighter the better, though I don't want to sacrifice durability), have a hood system of some sort to keep the fabric off my face while sleeping, and be breathable (as breathable as a bivy can be...).
I've looked at the marmot alpinist bivy, MSR AC Bivy, ID Bugaboo bivy, and a couple of others... Does anyone here have any recommendations for bags that I have yet to look at or some tips to keep in mind whilst looking?
Also, on a side note, how does the Jetboil do at cold temps? I know canister stoves don't work well below freezing, but I've seen numerous times where people (mainly climbers) have used a jetboil in crazy conditions.
Cheers.
