Alpine AscentShell Bivy
$224.21
Description

  Alpine protection and all-night comfort without the weight. Lightweight durability of Pertex® and breathable waterproof AscentShell™ makes for a faster and lighter solo shelter that you’ll bring everywhere.

  Solo adventuring just got a whole lot more comfortable and convenient. Building on the reputation set by the cult-classic Alpine Bivy, this new version leverages AscentShell™ x Pertex® technology for a drastically improved breathability rating which leads to less condensation and a more comfortable sleep. Its step-in opening allows you step directly out of your boots and into your bed easier and without the fuss of shimmying. Extra large head space makes room for gear, and a no-see-um mesh comes in handy when the bugs are out for blood. This bivy is ideal for alpine pursuits, extreme weather, or any time you want to skip the weight and bulk of a tent.

  The tapered shape of the Alpine AscentShell Bivy works best with tapered-shape sleeping pads with narrower dimensions at the foot, ideally 22 inches or narrower.

Footprint sold separately.

Lowa Renegade Evo GTX Mid Review: A Boot That Goes the Extra Mile
  Winter in Michigan is gray and cold. It may be true that four out of five Great Lakes prefer Michigan, but they all bring their cloud cover and lake effect storms to bear in what can become a swirling morass of sleet, snow, and lack of vitamin D. Spring doesn’t bring much change except the idea that something should change....

Winter Bass Lures: Top 5 Picks for Cold Water Fishing Success
  My favorite thing in the world may be pulling up to a popular boat ramp at 10:00 a.m. and being the only truck there. Usually, when that happens, I wonder if everyone else knows something I dont, like an impending tornado or a massive fish kill that I somehow missed. But, in the wintertime, empty parking lots are the norm....
‘Super Aluminum’ Yields Remarkably Tough, Lightweight Knife: OKNIFE XEN-OAL Review
  I am all about counting ounces when it comes to sleeping bags and hiking boots, but I get a little wary when knife brands start trimming fat off their knives. Sure, there are plenty of reliable knives out there that come in at 3 ounces or under. However, a growing amount of these lightweight knives are only rated for light-duty...

Hotdog Hans Goes to Switzerland: The Legend Returns, as Crusty as Ever
  Hotdog Hans is an absolute legend. When you see the jeans, the old 80s windbreaker, and that iconic gray flow ripping around on his Volkl skis, sending half pipes and big air, you know it will be a good time.   But the folks in Switzerland dont seem immediately excited about the newest visitor to their little village. After all, this...
Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants Review: They Do a Lot of Things Damn Well!
  At some point along the way over the last 20 years, there has been a subtle (or maybe not so subtle) shift to hyper-specialized outdoor gear. I became acutely aware of this last year when I was in the market for a backcountry ski pack.   But, every time I walked into my garage and looked at all the hooks with...

Every Winter, I Read the Same Brilliant Essay About Snow
  Seasonal reading—that’s my boring-but-apt term for enriching the mood and meaning of a certain time of year with the addition of a certain text. Each April, I reach for the “Spring” chapter in Walden. Every July, I take a lap in E.B. White’s “Once More to the Lake.” And in November, when the brown ground freezes and the weatherman predicts...
