Re: [ultralightbiking] Ultralight sleeping - Adventure Medical Thermo-Lite Bivy?

Check out the reviews over at bikepacking.net:

Myself and quite a few others have used them with good success.

I have wondered about it too. Because it's not breathable it would seem that condensation would soak your sleeping bag. For emergencies it would be fine, I think, for everyday use it doesn't seem like the best choice. If anyone one has first hand experience using one on a multi-day trip let us know how it worked.

Just curious if anyone has used this item as part/all of their
sleeping arrangement. I konw it's intended as an emergency only
shelter but it got a decent write up in Backpacking some time back.
Could be used in place of a sleeping bag in warmer temps it seems.
