>>2427154>Anyone have a snugpak stratosphere?That is basically a hooped bivvy. I have the Carinthia Observer Plus bivvy which looks similar to the stratosphere, pic rel. Bivvy's have their pros and cons, just like any other camping system. If you bivvy camp, you will need a tarp, so you can get in and out of the bivvy without getting it wet when it is raining. Luke, from the OutdoorGearReview youtube channel, sums up bivvy's really well and lays out all the pros and cons.
