Bivouac cerclé léger en Gore-Tex. Le plafond bas réduisant le volume, la moindre vapeur d'eau est poussée vers l'extérieur à travers les pores, par la chaleur du corps. Le reste disparaît par convection. Cet article qui ne pèse que 700g convient parfaitement pour qui veut s'encombrer au minimum en passant les nuits à l'abri de la pluie [...]
