Black Diamond “Bibler” Standard Hooped Bivy Sack – Size Large Long. Made in the USA! The previous owner of this bivy removed the plastic rod that creates support for the hood. The plastic “hoop” that was removed was made of a polymer called Acetron GP and measured. 187 of an inch by 41.5 inches (4.75 mm x 105.41 cm). This bivy is pristine for the most part. There is no noticeable wear or soil. There is some slight discoloration up near the top inside of the bag, which looks like color transfer from whatever the individual who was using it was wearing. The seams have not been sealed, which you will need to do, if you plan to use it’sans’ tent. I have the feeling that this bivy was either used on a port-a-ledge or in a tent and not on the ground. I bought this last winter to replace my yellow version (I’m not fond of yellow), but I didn’t know till I received it that it was the long version and was missing the “hoop”. Being only 5′ 7 I really don’t need to haul around a bivy designed for someone over 6 feet in height. From what I can tell, this thing could fit someone 7 feet tall! I measured it across at the shoulders and it was 33. Lots of wiggle room, unless you’re built like King Kong! In case you’re not familiar with Bibler products, an outdoor adventurer name Todd Bibler designed tents and bivys that were unique in the 80′s, because they were of single-wall design. He used GoreTex laminate bonded to a proprietary inner fabric that wicks out moisture like a paper towel. It is truly the only laminate that actually does keep rain and snow from coming in, while transporting moisture vapor from your body out. All of the Bibler designs are of expedition quality and are manufactured to withstand extreme weather and extended use. This item is in the category “Sporting Goods\Camping & Hiking\Tents & Canopies\Tents”. The seller is “howard_in_iowa” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
