Looking into buying the most compact bivvy possible with a insect protection mesh. So far it’s looking like a snugpak is my best bet but I’m hoping to here what you guys have to say.

What will you be using it for? What type of environment?

Unexpected overnights stays. 24-48 hours. Basically I want to have something compact enough to either fit into a largish camelbak for when I go on climbing trips when I hike or bike.

This is not my primary camping set up. Just a backup for times when I stay out longer then intended.

I live and Texas and the insect protection is more important to me than the rain/cold.

The snugpak is a pretty good choice to be honest fren. If you want to go even lighter/smaller you can see an insect mesh onto a cheap liner from academy and use a small ground tarp and maybe even a rain poncho for your rain tarp.

How are you supposed to keep the bug net off of your face?

Does the bivy have to be completely waterproof on its own?

There’s a hard to see loop on the mesh that allows you to tie it up to a branch or tar

Have you considered a bug bivvy by borah? You would want a ground cloth but otherwise will be very light and compact.

The Snugpak isn't a bivvy technically since it offers no protection from the weather.
