Owing to popular demand (well, Roger), here's a photo of the revised zip-stop on Katabatic's Bristlecone bivy.
As you can hopefully see, the material at the end of the zip has now been folded over a couple of times, and sewn under the rest of the pertex for reinforcement.
It's a subtle change, but hopefully an effective one.
And if a photo of a zip stop isn't geeky enough for you, here are a couple more of the tie-out loop and the stake-out loop. May the nerdgasms commence.
All I need now is an opportunity to try it out again...

Katabatic Bristlecone update
Thanks Mark, I used my Bristlecone bivy last weekend, and am very impressed, it will see many more nights.
ReplyDeleteNever apologise for gear close-ups, it's what a lot of us want to see but don't want to admit! They also prove useful for those of us unable to get a look at new gear in the shops.
