    Interested. A new lg is $350. I could use a second. This would be a back up to one already owned so need some questions answered. How many nights slept in on that one trip? What's been placed inside the bivy?ie; has anything potentially scratched the fabrics inside or outside or the zipper ever snagged any fabric? L or R zip? Has it been slept in in the rain? Totally WP fabrics and seams if it has? Any water infiltration? Is it seam sealed? Looks like you're getting 346 grams. That's 12+ oz. Is the added wt just the stuff sack?

    1. I think I have the zipper care in the full retail price...either way...call it $350
    2. used for two nights of sleep
    3. sleeping pad, quilt and myself (with no pointy objects) are the only things ever put inside
    4. Nothing has potentially snagged or punctured - used extreme care, used a ground cloth, zipper never snagged
    5. Left zip
    6. used in light to moderate intermittent rain. However, one night was under the YAMA tarp listed for sale on here (was testing the whole system)
    7. No leaks or penetration presented itself
    8. It is seam sealed
    9. what you see on the scale is the bivy+seam seal+stuff sack. Nothing else. The seam sealing and stuff sack are not in MLD's listed weight

    Thanks for looking!

    Dogwood, I just noticed we are both in Georgia (potentially). I'm happy to meet up with you, if you are near Alpharetta and want to take a look in person.
