hootyhoo member Registered: 12/14/06 Posts: 686 Loc: Cyberspace	Hennessey Ultralight hammock. Oh I'm sorry you said bivy. I have an OR Advanced bivy. 39 ounces and durable. Damp in humid weather. Wet when you get in and out during periods of rain. Wet if its raining and you want to cook. Oherwise very dry and very durable. Works better in winter. Roomy (for a sack).
