I used the Katabatic Piñon Bivy. I like that the U-shaped zipper allows me sit up in place. I don’t like the 7oz weight. Much of the weight comes from the long zipper.
I like the weight of the Borah cuben bivy, but the zipper position is not good for sitting up in place.
I think the solution is make something like a Borah bivy with a top entry zipper (running from head to mid-torso).
(I spend too much time thinking about the 2.5oz weight penalty for the Katabatic bivy).

Yeah, the bivy I have is 7oz and I ordered the cuben bivy so that I can have a lighter one that is (hopefully) better than this partially homemade one I have.
