The window so you can see the giant bear hovering over your face. :O
Aqua Quest makes really great tarps, so hopefully the same is true of their bivies. Looking forward to the full review!
Imagine waking up and looking out of that little clear square window and seeing jason looking in at you.....
That would suck, not gonna lie
Now that thought would make me think twice about this bivy
Pmsl!
Looks great. You could leave it open when sleeping under the stars and if rain comes, just zip it up
$110, not a bad price. Thanks for the review.
This thing looks perfect, maybe would want a second vent on the head piece. Besides that it seems perfect if you just need something to sleep in while backpacking
hello Luke . thanks for help over the years . thanks for sharing . ATB . like the look of this
When does it stop being a bivy and start being a pup tent ;)
Neat product, but I can't help but think it's in a weird spot between tarping and microlight tenting (given the weight). As for sharing, there's no way I'd cram 2 people in there unless I wanted my girlfriend to hate me the next day :)
It is heavier & has a bigger pack size that some tents
Thanks for the review. Just ordered one from Amazon for $110. Hope I get a chance to watch a thunderstorm through its window--kind of a unique feature I had never seen in a tent/bivy before.
Thanks, I'm thinking seriously about using bivies for our bugout bags, so I look forward to the review. Good job. I really enjoyed your interrupted camp in the snow you recently posted.
YEAH! get a cup of coffee intro! huzzah! haha, I don't know why I love that so much
You can get tents that are lighter with smaller pack size so why?
I would like to see this used in a review, in late fall early winter.
+Wired Wrong You got it Wired. Have a good one. - Luke
I love how small it is but as a 6.2 ft guy i would probably hit the fly and create condensation
So which did you like better this bivy or the snug pack bivy?
My how you have changed Luke!!
Once inside, do you have to zip up the bug net to keep it off of you? I noticed it was laying on top when you unzipped the bivy cover.
I wonder if the hoop will stand without the tent being staked? I’d like to have the option of using it in a A.T. shelter on a buggy night.
I don't know, seems large and heavy given the amount of ultralight tents available for not much more $ such as the Force 10 Helium, luxe sil minipeak, Wild Country Zephyros etc. They have similar or even smaller packsize, vastly more liveable space while still being smallish footprint, less condensation issues and not that much longer to setup.
I'd like to see a review when you have a sleep mat in there
Looks like a high loft bag and a large pad would leave insufficient room at the foot box.
You seemed to think it is stuffy and hot inside. Cant really breathe too good? Thats why I like Jack Wolfskins original gossamer - great groundsheet, easy to breathe. But my thinking on it now is standalone tents with no need to peg them out are a great advantage for sleeping in a city too
That bivy looks great and well made. However, condensation in the foot box is the thing I worry about here, as with most bivys. Looking forward to your overnighter in this. You just can't beat the $109 price on Amazon!
For that price, it needs to be gore Tex or a similar breathable material.
For a hundred to a hundred fifty bucks? You're dreaming. Construct this out of gore-tex and you're looking at five hundred bucks easy.
I would also like your opinion on how this would work as a winter bivy. I already have the Aqua Quest Sil Tarp for when I'm using a hammock, so that with the bivy? Over kill or just right. Love the videos, keep up the awesome work Luke!
I always wanted to see one of these. I like the clamshell so you can get in easy. Not sure if i'd put two people in there...
I'd like to see you review the Slumberjack Contour bivy
2.4 pounds is a little heavy for a bivy isnt it?
Think "small tent" and it suddenly becomes lightweight.
You need to do a camping trip using a bivy that would be awesome
Great review. I have a defcon 5 Italian hooped bivi, works well, but does generate condensation and is very hot even on the coldest of nights. Thanks for sharing ATB
Maybe you can do a comparison between this and the snugpak stratosphere.......maybe?
Fantastic videos! Subscribed for sure! Greetings from Bulgaria!
But when it rains, wet bag until it zips back up, ok mildly damp, side access would be better if not sure design would allow it
wouldnt your feet freeze or get wet with the them touching the tent like that?
Just scored a brand new one for $10.00 at Goodwill.
Can't get this on Amazon any longer.
It sure looks cool.
Why didn't you say that you saw daylight through the zipper instead of, "...you are going to want to keep the flap pulled down to keep the rain out..."? It would have been good to know that the zipper isnt water tight.
Awesome review, I'm curious how small it can be packed when using a stuff sack though. Even as small as it is it'll take up some real estate
My friend had one of these. It was very well made but a sweat box. He gave it away. I have the mummy version. Also a sweat box. I will give it away.
Thanks
We call that a swag in Australia
id like to know the condensation problem when it is cold and raining.
Would the new one “Hideaway” be the same?
Excellent
Rather buy a cheap Wally World pup tent. Larger space bout the same wt and inexpensive. In fair weather a ranger roll would be about the same but would give the option of some cover over head during the day. If you have to deal with chiggers, scorpions or snakes, a tent or a hammock is the way to go. Good review as usual.
Luke how do you think the bivy for winter camping? Great video as always... Thanks Bill
bivys of that style can not support the weight of snow, also condensation may freeze into ice.
This review never came? Or i just cant find it? 🤔🤔
Rather interesting little bivy, plastic window is cool but gotta figure after a while in the sun that thing will become brittle and crumble over time. Myself personly ive got an Alpine bivy and the floor on that thing is crazy thick, like rubber pool wall thick. Would love to see your out look on it sometime in the future.
Huh, funny to find you here
@@Kill-It-Skin-It-Wear-It I'm everywhere. Might even be right behind you at this very moment
Bear burrito! I like the window, but the Velcro on the outside only works if you zip it from the outside. Right?
ever tried the vaude bivy tent. it's 900 grams and packs super small in your backpack!
The plastic skylight is a nice feature to see that deer while he stomps all over you.
I personally like that so I can watch the grizzly or mountain lion drag me away to my death. But hey, everybody has their own likes
Do you have any follow up reviews for this bivvy?
Nope he dropped it like a hot coal.
Waterproof test please
what's the chance of a 2 day spring camping trip to wolf mountain using this bivy bag ?
+R V That is a good idea RV.
Thanks brother.
- Luke
Thanks for that awesome review! Did you experience a lot of condensation?
...and if I die before I wake ...
I'm already in a body bag, just for your convenience.
Heat and condensation machine.
Sweet Vid !!! Does vent have bug screen material to keep the little critter's out ??........................ Thanks
+buford guber It sure does my friend.
- Luke
+TheOutdoorGearReview Outstanding
, . Thanks for all the great review's and most importantly , keeping it real !!!
Leslie B less THAN. Not "then".
im 13 and i just got in to backpacking and ive been camping the last few weekends on our property(about 376 acres) and i seen ur videos about a mounth ago and from your reveiws ive got me a few items so thank you and keep up the good work
ps:i might send u some stuff in mail(maybe)
Hi! Thanks for a cool video. Acrually I bought the Aquaquest hoopped bivi. Unfortunately I lost the pole. Du you know hos Long the original is, so I gat find a new one somewhere ?
Where I'm from when we call something hooped, it means it's no good, so reading the title of this video had me thinking this product was terrible. But I soon realized my mistake. lol
Where are you from brother? I haven't heard of the term Hooped being used in such a way before. - Luke
Do you have to roll it up or can it be stuffed?
Has he done a follow up review of this bivy?
No, infact he never talked about it again!
@@TALKCalgary well dang I was looking to buy one 😂
@@jasonlewis8821 Don't bother. I bought one off Amazon and it arrived damaged, missing parts and with no guarantee. I returned it and ordered a replacement and again I received a damaged bivi that was missing parts. Don't think I'll order anything else from AQ ever again.
@@TALKCalgary thanks for the heads up brother. Sad to hear due to the fact their tarps are amazing☹️
Hi Luke, are you going to use this tent in a future overnighter soon? I love this tent -Jake
Hey Luke, I'm looking for a bivi, but I cant really make my mind if I should buy the Snugpak Stratosphere. What did you think of the bivi after the review you did? Is the final viewpoints out on video?
Thanks for the commitment you put in to show us the stuff we have so many thoughts abut.
Greetings from Europe's last wilderness, Scandinavia.
I have owned the Snugpak Stratosphere, on paper it is good, but in Pratice it is very flawed. the zipper is quite sticky, the stakes are quite brittle, the fabric bleeds water at the foot end (I was not inside of it). lastly the bivy has a huge design flaw, when it rains hard the zipper lies flat and water will pool, leading to massive leaks.
Who makes the shirt you're wearing?
Hey Luke, I'm going on a 50 mile trip this summer and I was wondering do you think this would be a good tent that I could take on it since I need to be lightweight? I was thinking about the REI Passage 1 but it's it's quite a bit more than this one so I just wanted to see what your opinion is?
+Jamison Bunch I just wanted to throw in my two cents here. I have the Kelty Tempest 2. You can get them for anywhere between $100-$175. Its a reasonable weight IMHO.
Full disclosure: I've never been on a 50 mile hike with this tent, so I don't know if it would be what you would want.
I will say its a wonderful summer tent! It has more than enough room for a person and gear. It could fit two people if you don't mind snuggling. The rain fly works well, and there is more than enough room in the vestibule for boots, wet/dirty stuff when it rains to keep it out of the elements.
Hope that helps!

+The Griffin Pages yeah thank-you, but it's not really what I'm looking for. thanks anyways
You're welcome! Hope you find what you are looking for, and have fun on your trip!
+The Griffin Pages wow!! You guys had an adult exchange!! No crying or whining!
+WxGuy what are you saying,
Hi its Yorkshire man I’m a ham radio operator is the Qua quest water tight and do you recommend it for use in the uk 🇬🇧 i like it will it keep me dry
absolute palace
Does vent have bug netting?
Sagewanderer Watch the entire video.
Would be nicer if the feet didn't touch. Maybe if it was two maybe three inches shorter than by your head.
Bivvys have to be GoreTex for me..
It's a body bag
Don’t get this, buy the Snugpak Ionosphere it has the same idea but it’s so much better
What happened with the review?
size of a normal tent in its stuff sack
How do they fair in high winds?
Hey do very well since they are so low profiled. - Luke
$129.00 USD Camping is supposed to be CHEAP.
Luke, Cool shorts. What brand and model is it?
+Mike Brand = Fjällräven.
Thanks.
Is it a swag? 🇦🇺👍🍺
No thanks....doesn't look much bigger than my MSS Gortex cover. While my Lavvu may be heavier, there's room for me, my dog and pack. And even greater room/shelterwhen I toss a tarp on top of the opening.
Squashed by a elk.
like it
Hey little man. Careful you don't get lost in that thing. :)
Похожа на мою палаточку Ягуар-1.
No thanks. No desire to be in a body bag yet. We'll all be in one some day...just not today. Plus it's a bit steep at $150. How could one ever sleep on their side in such a small tent.
Wait!!! Didn't even havt time to pour a cup.. Slow down ya over achiever. Pause.
Okay continue
Well, i like it BUT long ago I had a 30 dollar stansport or some cheapo brand bivy tent that had a raincover an vestibule for gear that opened in the front. Never got rrain or snow inside while getting in or out. So to me in Oregon the aqua quest would need a tarp over top for sure.
🤓👍💯🍻✌️👏🇺🇸
That video was a wast of time
A total wast of time.
