Yeah, so ....exactly that!!! I can find many many bivys/ sleeping bag covers, BUT I need one that has a side mesh vent or face vent or ANYTHING with a bug mesh!!! Otherwise, what is the point??? Anyone know of a good store??


I have tried L-Breath and Oshmans....no luck...

your best bet would be to try the inter-net and get it shiped over here .

I have a Bibler that works fine. OR and Integral Designs make nice-looking ones, too.

Try calling

Calafate: http://www.calafate.co.jp/

or

ICI-Ishii Sports: http://www.ici-sports.com/shop/list.html#kandatozan

or

Kamoshika Sports: http://www.kamoshika.co.jp/newHP/index.html

to see what they have in stock. (The ICI-Ishii Sports Harajuku branch is right next door to the Harajuku Oshmans).

The suggestion to mail order something is also a good one, if you can't find anything locally.

I give high praise to all of my Integral Designs gear:

Let us know what you find.

I am having terrible luck....most stores have only non-netted bivys...calafate had two bivys online but both were very very tight mummy style...


on second thought, maybe could anyone point me towards a good fabric dealer in japan....then I would just make my own and not have to choose between yellow and fire engine red.

Try this link to altrec.com in the US Bivouacs I've use this site in the past to get gear I couldn't find here . the post is alittle bit expensive but fast and I've never had a problem with them . sometimes it is just faster and easier to get it shipped over than look for it here .
