Very cool. I'll send you my Mountainsmith for a side entry to be added , that looks great. Did you use a waterproof zipper or a flap? My only concern would be subjecting myself to water torture as it appears the top of the zipper is right over where your head will be.

Did you sew the bivy too? Interested to know more about what materials you used if you did.

Thanks guys!

I just used a standard coil zipper and flap. We'll see how it does keeping the water out.

I did make the bivy. All fabrics were purchased from ripstopbytheroll.com I used the 1.1oz Silpoly PU4000 for the bottom and cap on the foot box and Membrane 10 and .5oz noseeum mesh for the top. Haven't spent the night in it yet but it sholdn't be too bad from a condensation standpoint.
