This is a genuine US Army surplus Gore-Tex Bivy Cover, a component of the Modular Sleep System, made in the USA by Tennier Industries. This listing is for the bivy cover only; no other components of the sleep system are included. This would make a great bivy cover for all-season camping. This bivy cover may be combined with the Patrol Sleeping Bag and the Intermediate Cold Weather Sleeping Bag to form the Improved Modular Sleep System.
Bivy Cover - The bivy cover is dark grey on the bottom and has an ACU camouflage pattern on the top. It is made with a 3-layer GORE-TEX fabric, making it fully waterproof. It has a zippered closure with snaps for connecting to the other sleep system components. It also features Velcro fasteners around the hood which can be fastened to prevent openings during rainy or extremely cold weather.
Looks like I ordered this bivy just in time before it went out of stock! For the price, I couldn't pass it up, and when I opened the box to see my used-very-good bivy sack, and inspected it thorougly I found that it's virtually brand new! If it werent for the listing saying "used", I would swear it is brand new! It even smells brand new! What a find! I couldn't be happier! By far the nicest bivy I've ever owned.
AWESOME! I bought a Used: Very Good and I can't see anything that'd distinguish it from PERFECT! Zippers and press-studs all work and the cover was clearly recently laundered (still smell the detergent!). Add to that the fact that it shipped the day after I ordered, and arrived in THREE DAYS, even over the Christmas holidays and you have a very happy Dave! Thanks, Thunderhead - I'll be back, for sure!
This bivy arrived quickly and was in near perfect condition. It looked unused. Thank you for the great service!
