A bivy that you can enter from the front, side, diagonally, or above
The Y-Zip Bug Bivy allows you to enjoy the weight savings of a bivy without the pain of getting in and out of it thanks to the unique Y-style zipper. This Bivy is meant to be suspended from the 1P Cirriform Tarp by YAMA Mountain Gear by suspending the netting from the top of your tarp and attaching the tub floor to the attachment points under the tarp using the rigging included. It can also be set up using two trekking poles and only 4 stakes using the Stand-Alone Rigging Kit.
Features:
- Y-zip offers multiple entry options
- Tapered shape for efficiency
- Slightly curved ridge to reduce slack
- Tub-floor provides extra splash protection
- Durable floor material to improve product longevity and reduce the risk of punctures

- Y-Zip Bivy with 20D Sil/PU Floor

JapanA versatile bivy sack for multiple uses
A fantastic bivy sack! My favorite was the pinon bivy model from Katabatic Gear. However, it's a bit tricky to use during the hotter seasons. Yama's Yzip Full Bug Net Bivy works well even in hot weather. Plus, it's much easier to get in and out of! During cold weather, you can lower the suspension height to bring it closer to your quilt. It prevents condensation while blocking the wind. An amazing bivy!
United StatesGreat bug shelter
I paired this with the Cirriform tarp to for all practical purposes make a tent that has a lot of versatility. Have only used it a couple of times, but it packs small, is light, and is quick to set up. Would (and have) highly recommend it.
United StatesWhere are the directions.
I am having great difficulty figuring out how to set this up. And have been unable to find anything online on how to attach the rigging. All the directions I found the rigging is already attached and it doesn't match the rigging that arrived with it. I may update if I can figure out how to set it up.
