Gear Review: MontBell Breeze Dry-Tec U.L. Sleeping Bag Cover (Bivy)

I think you guys are missing the point.

In the pyramid of hiking gear you can have something that is two of the three:

Durable
Cheap
Lightweight

This thing is pretty cheap and very lightweight. It is therefore fragile. Treat your lightweight gear well and it should be fine.

Seriously what is wrong with you people running this magazine? For $125 I could get a better airline flight that wouldn't put me in a survival situation to begin with!! We're average Joe's here with things called bills!! How bout testing somethin that a) won't rip unless you stand at a 135% angle, with your left leg perpendicular to your waist, while balancing 3 apples on your head and b) is something we would actually consider buying!! - For a great magazine, you guys sure are trying to lose readers with all this crap...

I think you are so right Fred This mag is very expensive. You can get many durable cheaper things from walmart!

Seriously? What good is a piece of survival gear if it's that delicate? And for $125!? You guys really are living in another world.

"Stand in the foot section and pull it over your head before kneeling or sitting." So we sleep with our head in the foot section of the bag and the feet sticking out the hood? I don't get it.

Fred is right.. for that kinda money, it should be durable. For roughly the same cost, one could get a Sea to Summit, Reactor Thermolite bag liner, and a small lightweight silnylon tarp. For a few added ounces, you would be much better off to handle any survival situation. JMO SD

A hundred and twentyfive bones for something that if you are not careful might rip!? What world are you guys from? Perhaps your magazine might be labeled the Rich and the Frivolous. These items are cool but call me when the knife costs $20 and the Bivy won't rip.
