Re: Help please rab siltarp1 vs bicycle 3.5 question of size?

probably didn't make myself clear really. I fancy one of this for the reasons above really as its paired up with a bivvy bag. The set up I saw with the silltarp and bike was a low a frame type affair so long as it keeps the worst off that's fine. I have a couple of others but in comparison they are ...

Re: Help please rab siltarp1 vs bicycle 3.5 question of size?

One thing to note is that the Siltarp only has one "lifter" whereas the Rig3.5 has four, these do help with pitching. The Siltarp is 100g lighter though. yeah I noticed that. I did see a decent looking set up using a siltarp and bike in an "almost tent" like config. Still a bit ...

Quick question is yours the rab one or integral designs, I think they are both the same mind.

Help please rab siltarp1 vs bicycle 3.5 question of size?

To complete the lightweight shelter set up I am looking to get a lightweight tarp and narrowed it down unsurprisingly to an alpkit bicycle 3.5 and rab siltarp1. In comparing the sizes there seems to be a bit of conflicting information that I am hoping someone can shed a bit of light on. The rab is q...

Re: Bivi bag only?

That ^ almost reads like using a tarp + bivvy is in someway a failure." I didn't mean it to read like that!! I was just wondering if I somehow had missed something obvious when using a bivvy on its own which wouldn't be the first time :grin: . I think that I would always take both (if not takin...

Re: Bivi bag only?

Just wondering really about the condensation issue. Wanting to keep the gear weight down and my lightest bag is a marmot atom (needs to be above freezing though!!) but don't want to wreck it in the bivvy bag. Thinking one night should be ok. Reading other posts it seems it shouldnt be too bad so lon...

Re: Bivi bag only?

Saw this thread and hoped it would answer the bivvy issue. It seems though I have the same thoughts as a few others. Having said that I have decided to take the plunge and get a bivvy for some overnighters I have planned. if I team it up with a tarp just in case it rains I can still get the both dow...
