Reviewed by The Mushroomer Man from The Rockies on Wednesday, August 22, 2012Am most impressed that my sleeping pad fits with the bag in the bivy. Excellent amount of headroom, the breezeway screen adds a nice profile. Just bring your own spikes to bolt the tassel bars down to the Earth.

Reviewed by steve in pton from Pleasanton, CA on Tuesday, July 31, 2012Seems well built. Need to try on a hike to fully review. No instructions related to setup. However, MH was most helpful via email.

Reviewed by DebtheHiker from California on Friday, July 13, 2012The ethereal bivy is an excellent piece of mountain gear; have used it now for seven nights; two in howling wind; three at elevations higher than 10,000 feet. Set up is quick and intuitive and performance is excellent. No problems in the wind as long as you or your gear (if you are out hiking/climbing) are inside to weight it down. In fact, it perfomed better in the wind than many tents I have used. Comfortable inside; full side zips work well. Ventilation is excellent; minor condensation when the temps dipped outside and I closed the vents. When at base camp in snow I used a lightweight groundcloth underneath and a good, insulating sleeping pad that fit inside under my bag. Packs back into its carry sack quickly and easily. Very satisfied.

Reviewed by Mustang from Columbia, MD on Wednesday, April 18, 2012Not cold enough yet to get the full benefits of this bivy, but one day it will be. So far it's great with a quick set up and take down. No problems with excessive condensation, sticky zuppers, or pushy poles which go where they are not wanted. Loads well in the pack, bike, or clipped on front of a fastpack harness for overnight trail runs at higher elevations.

Reviewed by Birdman from Colorado on Tuesday, February 21, 2012I haven't used it yet, but trust the maker and they're products. Small and light and will take hiking and fishing for emergency shelter. Great for minimal backpacking. What a great price from Sierra.

Ask a Question-
Question “Does the main zipper run the entire length of the shelter? If not, how far down does it go? (Had other bivys that are hard to get in and out of because of this)”
-
Answer The Mountain Hardwear Ethereal Bivy does not have a zipper that runs the entire length of the bag.
-
-
Question “I'm wondering...is this big enough for an air mattress and a winter weight down bag? Most bivvys seem to be stuck in the past with very thin mattresses...is this another one?”
-
Answer Unfortunately i do not believe you could fit an air mattress in the Ethereal Bivy, a winter weight down bag yes, but not a air mattress.
-
-
Question “Does it act as a sleeping bag also?”
-
Answer Being that the Bivy is not insulated I would not recommend using it as a sleeping bag by itself.
-
-
Question “with the zipper listed as left hand does that mean it is easier for right handed people to use? I never was too clear on that. Thanks”
-
Answer Its simply just means the zipper is located on the left hand side of the BIvy, it will be just as easy for a right handed person to use the bag as a left handed person.
