What’s the thickest but lightest roll mat that would suit this swag. I’d like to buy them both together1 answer
Thanks

G'day Toa,
If you're looking for a good quality mat that will be super light and fold down well, then I'd suggest grabbing one of the Sea to Summit Sleeping Mats. They all pack down really small and are nice and comfy.

User height?1 answer
Hi, It says the outside dimension of this tent is 205cm, but the sleeping area is 190L. I'm 193cm (6'3") tall. Will I fit in this? Cheers,
James - Adelaide(8 years ago)
G'day James,
The difference in sizing is to allow for the angles at each end of the Black Wolf Stealth Bivy. At 193cm, you should fit in, it will just be a bit snug and your feet or head may push up against the fabric.

Will this setup work with a cot placed underneath it?1 answer
The bivy looks great but i want one that can be used on top of a cot. Will i be able to do this?
Blake - Bondi (9 years ago)
G'day Blake,
I suppose you could use this on top of a stretcher, but you obviously won't be able to peg it down, and if you set it up with the poles - they're not going to stay in place - which might be a bit annoying.
If you set it up without the poles, it will be more like a traditional bivy that's essentially a cocoon so it won't stay raised off your body while you sleep.
Bivys are usually designed for lightweight hiking, so if you're planning on camping you might want to consider a freestanding swag instead as that will give you some added comfort and protection.

Condensation!1 answer
Is there anything applied to the underside for reducing condensation ?
Dan - Perth(10 years ago)
G'day Dan - The fly does have a polyurethane coating, but that won't make it condensation proof. Condensation largely occurs through a capillary process - if something is pressing against the wet fly, it will let that moisture in. This bivy has a number of vents and windows that will help with ventilation which will also reduce the amount of condensation. Hope that helps. Cheers, Paul

Dimmensions1 answer
Hello, I am 183cm long and my mattress is 198cm long. Would the mattress fit inside comfortably ? Regards, Julian
Julian - Melbourne(10 years ago)
This Bivy Tent has a floor length of 205cm so a mattress of 198cm should fit, as long as its width suits the 96cm dimension. Could you perhaps tell us which mattress you have as if its something we stock, we could test it out for you.

Outside temperature1 answer
Hello, Just wondering what is the outside minimum temperature to sleep comfortable in this tent ? (Assuming a 0 Celsius sleeping bag)
Julian - MELBOURNE, VIC(10 years ago)
Hi Julian,
This tent is made from a light polyester therefore it offers very little thermal rating as it simply keeps the elements out so in a nutshell, it just cuts out the wind chill (and rain). Having said that, its small size does retain your body heat however insulating properties mainly depend on your sleeping bag and roll mat.

What is the minimum number of pegs to set it up?1 answer
Min pegs for moderate conditons? Min pegs for windy contitions?
Nes - BRIBIE ISLAND, QLD(11 years ago)
Hi Nes. The Stealth Bivy should be set up with 6 pegs in the base and 1 peg for each guy rope on the ends, 8 in total. This ensures a tight, waterproof shelter.
