Katabatic Gear Piñon Bivy

The Katabatic Gear Piñon Bivy combines a waterproof floor with a water-resistant (not fully waterproof) upper, an extra-large mesh window for ventilation and stargazing, and a long U-shaped zip that makes getting in and out easier than a bivy with a small top slit. The full bug net keeps insects out without needing a fully sealed shelter over it. Because the upper is water-resistant rather than waterproof, it's designed to be paired with a pyramid shelter or tarp overhead for real rain protection rather than used alone as a standalone rainproof shelter. That combination - tarp or pyramid plus bivy - is a common lightweight setup for hikers who want a floor and bug protection without the weight of a fully enclosed tent.
