The Escape Pro bivvy includes a 24” (61cm) zipper side opening, a drawstring closure hood to cinch up on colder nights and taped seams to keep moisture out. It measures 31”x 84” (231cm x 78cm) and weighs 8.5 ounces (240g). It will be available to ship February 2017.

What’s the difference between this and already existing breathable bivvy from SOL? Maybe more high-end materials?
It can be washed 100 times. This one is intended for regular use.
Hopefully it will come in other colors. Orange is great for emergencies, but if it’s washable 100 times… I’m not planning on having *that* many emergencies. 🙂
Thank you for clearing up. Didn’t know the Escape Bivvy has wash limits! It seems the original Escape Bivvy is DWR based while this successor is Sympatex membrane fabric.
Right after we make a unit purchase of the Escape Bivvy….
So far, these are only in orange though
31”x 84” Good thing they listened to the #1 complaint people had about the first gen, that it was too narrow in the chest, and so they made it smaller.
