Why an Oware bivy?

Much more roomy than most bivys, you can get your pad(s) and winter sleeping bag
inside, or store some gear with you.

Outside pullout tab (tie it to a tree etc. to keep the fabric off your face).
Dimensions 74" girth at top of shoulders tapering to 60" at foot seam. Unlike 
most bivys on the market are roomy enough for most folks to use a winter bag 
and two pads inside. If in doubt, use a string and yardstick to measure 
around your bag and pads while you are inside to get dimensions

Choose from uberlight Durable Water Repellant Nylon
or
Waterproofbreathable versions.

From a review of an earlier version of the OwareTM Epic Bivy
"Oware's EPIC/silnylon bivy may be the best all-around ultralight bivy sack on the market. It is perfect for additional protection in windy and colder temperatures. 
It is waterproof enough to protect your sleeping bag from a condensing single-wall 
tent, or a minimal tarp that may have some rain spray underneath, or even a snow cave. 
Yet the EPIC cover suffers from less condensation than fully waterproof breathable bivies. 
Best of all, at only 10 oz, it weighs less than many hikers' ground sheets and just about 
every other bivy sack on the market."
