today we're gonna talk about bivy sacks there are ton of benefits to choosing a bivy sack over a tent it's gonna add about 10 degrees of warmth to your sleeping bag as well as keep it dry it's just a little bit more of a snug fit let's go into the details and decide which one could be right for you so when it comes to baby sack so you've generally got two different types of shelters so you've got your regular bivy sack here you've got a bug net that covers up the top just to keep the mosquitoes in such a way and if it does start to sprinkle or rain a little bit you can throw the top right over the sack and now you're keeping out the rain as well a bivy sack is really generally geared towards your Mountaineer your minimalist camper or someone who brought this as a just in case if the weather happens to go south even if they were expecting good weather when it comes to the bivi shelter you've got one big difference and that's gonna be the pole here that's generally gonna keep all of this material up and off of your face the bivi shelter is geared towards your ultralight backpacker cycle tourist bike pack or anyone who's looking to keep it light but doesn't want a little bit more room near their head all bivy sacks are gonna have a nice durable bottom that's gonna protect your sleeping bag as well as keep water from seeping up from the ground and getting your sleeping bag wet from there we generally have two different kinds of materials that make ups baby sacks you've got gore-tex which is going to be able to hold up really well in heavy rains and downpours and it's pretty breathable off side to that is that they generally are a little bit heavier and can be more expensive your other option is going to be any non gore-tex waterproof material and whereas this might not be able to hold up to that same insane intense rain storm that gore-tex can and it might not be as breathable it will save you some weight as well as some bucks it'll be a little bit less expensive so if camping by bivy seems like it's something that you want to try out I highly encourage that you head into your local REI take a bivy sack off of the shelf do make sure that you also grab a sleeping bag in a sleeping pad that might be similar to the ones that you own put them inside and see if it's something you might want to try out give yourself some time have some patience it takes a while to get that proper configuration right to see how you can maximize your comfort and your breathability in such a small space it'll come to you in time at Nemo we never bring anything to market that

and tablet cases these come in two different phone sizes and three different tablet sizes and are made from optical grade TPU and 210 denier nylon these cases are ipx8 tested but we wouldn't recommend putting them below the water line as they're not designed as a bomb-proof dive housing all the models come with these die cut lash points and are made from extreme cold and UV resistant materials meaning they're great for alpine trips as well as summertime paddling all the seams are RF welded for maximum durability and waterproofness and unlike other soft case manufacturers these are designed to be as snug and efficient around the phone as possible to stop any cumbersome weight or sizing the entire range of TPU cases also come with a clear back window so the camera remains functional also available is the audio smart phone case these come a three and a half mil Jake that allow your phone to still be used as a media player even while it's in its case these are a great addition to any adventure and will protect your phone or tablet in a range of environments whether you're backcountry skiing in British Columbia mountain bike riding in the desert of Utah or paddling the snowy river
