If you’re using one with tarp, a Rota Locura Wasatch Bivvy and a modelling balloon might be your lightest option :lol:

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that style. By the time you've got any decent headroom the sides are being pulled in.

While I was planning the Rovaniemi 300 a couple of years ago (which I never did in the end), I found a good hooped Bivvy that was roomy enough to take a full expedition winter bag and looked ok to put up in the snow. Wish I could remember what make it was :roll: :oops:
