Strength:
The stackable zipper option is a cool feature but it requires you to buy Mountain Hardwear bags to really get the full use of. I wouldn''t hesitate to use this in place of a tent during the warmer months. Very compact and about as light as a loaf of bread. Costa Mesa Pro Tree Care Weakness:

This is part of my ultra light gear.
Customer Service Never had a problem with returning/exchanging damaged/defective goods with MH. Similar Products Used: I also have Outdoor Research's Advanced Bivy, which is much heavier.

I have only used this bivy twice in the 2 years I've owned it. First time was in a light/misty rain storm- my bag got soaked, but not from the rain, from my own perspiration. Second time was in a tent, in winter; bag was frozen due to cold temps and perspiration. Since I have a down bag, this becomes problematic. |

I have been using this bivy for a little over a year. This basic design is perfect for most of the conditions I find in Arizona, but in wetter conditions I have been rigging a simple tarp to protect my head and face from the wind and rain. I have had no problems with the durablity of this bag. With the exception of some condinsation at times, the bivy has kept me dry in the worst downpours. If you are looking for a lightweight bare bones bivy that is reliable, this is it. If you are looking for complete protection from wet and bugs you may consider a bivy with a closure around the face (i.e. OR's Advanced Bivy) Similar Products Used: O.R. Advanced Bivy, TNF (unknown model) |

I use this bivy along with a Mountain Hardwear bag upgrade and an REI mummy bag. It''s a terrific combination. The Conduit SL really keeps the chill off in the winter and breathes well with one notable exception: the sides. After a night out in sub-freezing temperatures, the bivy transports most moisture out but I still had ice buildup around the zipper and on the opposite side. The stackable zipper option is a cool feature but it requires you to buy Mountain Hardwear bags to really get the full use of.
