>>243700>wrong, all gortex all nylon all WATERPROOF bivys are WATERPROOFLet's remind a few things:
Bivys are originally used high in the mountains where you can't pitch a tent, and only protect you from snow. Bivys are now used in any conditions, which includes heavy rain.
Almost all bivys are waterproof enough for snow, but not rain.
Still Goretex isn't good enough for a bivy.
While a coat is designed to make water flow down and is used above the ground, a bivy allows the formation of water puddles and rests on the ground.
They're among the priciest anyway, other bivys are either less waterproof but for snow use, or more waterproof at the cost of breathability. A Goretex bivy is too pricy for snow and not good enough for rain.
>that garbage bag? not so much unless your a child small enough to climb up inside it, dumb fuck."You're".
I can't blame you for being so unfamiliar with garbage bags, but know that you can find some large enough to fit you and your entire family.
>and a garbage bag breaths when its wet, to? your a dumb fuck, as i said."You're".
A garbage bag is as breathable as a soaked bivy, that was the point. Under a heavy rain, a garbage bag is as good as any bivy, also lighter and cheaper.
>no they dont, now your literally talking shit. Again, "you're".
And unless we're talking snow, considering most can't handle rain, yes they do need to be used with another shelter.
>no shit sherlock, at least you admit your talking shit now.Seriously, it's "you're".
And it's true I'm wrong, they're designed for snow use first and foremost, so it's not the design that's counterproductive, but the use. Bivys aren't 4 seasons shelters.
>no they dont, trash bags are not bivy bags and do not even compare A bivy is a more durable, practical and breathable garbage bag. Of course bivys are better, but we're talking value here, and bivys being overpriced, a trash bag is the best value.
That was the point, but you missed it.
