For the Lightsabre Bivy, Black Diamond took the burly Bibler Tripod Bivy's design and put it together with the lightest, most packable materials they could find. The Epic fabric that makes up the Lightsabre's body is highly water resistant, good in everything but a flat-out downpour, and breathable so you don't have to contend with drippy condensation inside. A mesh window above your head eliminates the dreaded bivy claustrophobia attack without exposing your skin to ravenous insects. DAC featherlite poles and a silnylon floor strike a balance between weight savings and the strength necessities of a reliable shelter. If you're shaving ounces from everything in your pack, or space is a concern (IE: two saddle bags to live out of) the Lightsabre Bivy is the fair weather solution. For rough, wet, or extreme conditions check out its big brother, the Bibler Tripod Bivy.
