Early Winters vintage bivy sack. Made in Seattle. Early Winters used an early Goretex fabric for the canopy that had a fuzzy interior laminate much like Bibler Todd Tex. I washed it, resealed the seams (Required 1&3/4 tubes of Seam Grip) and added Velcro to the hood. Blue panels were added after purchase and may be thought of as retro cosmetic.

– Waterproof, coated ripstop nylon fabric on the ground side.

– No zipper but its a fairly roomy slide in.

– 1 lb 4 oz, size large. A generously sized bivy sack.

– Although all the seams are resealed, I can’t vouch for its absolute ability to be waterproof in heavy prolonged rain. I was once stuck in a desert canyon overnight and it repelled intermittent sprinkling through the night.

Good clean condition. No holes or tears. Asking $115.00.

*Note: Not certain but ‘Early Winters may have been the first company to use Gore-Tex (brand name!) in outdoor products. ByroTex, Todd Tex, Integral Tex and Gore Tex are all the same material; expanded polytetrafluorethylene. Gore Tex no longer licenses its material for use in tents, thus the non proprietary versions in the various single wall tent manufacturers’. (Courtesy of Excitable Boy)
