Assault FUTURELIGHT Bivy delivers ultralight, stormproof alpine shelter

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I always keep this bivy in my alpine kit. It’s light, packs down small, and actually breathes when things get damp. The integrated pole gives just enough space to feel less claustrophobic, and I’ve stayed dry in surprise storms with full confidence."


We built our kits to move fast and carry light, and the Assault FUTURELIGHT™ Bivy earns its spot when we're racing against time or weather in the high alpine. It’s designed for the minimalist climber, alpinist, or adventurer who still demands storm-grade protection without the weight or bulk of a tent.


Constructed with 3-layer FUTURELIGHT™ fabric, it offers exceptional breathability while standing up to wet weather with a non-PFC DWR finish. The DAC Featherlite NSL pole creates a raised canopy around the head, improving comfort and airflow, while a mesh vent with top zipper lets us fine-tune ventilation from inside. With its fire-retardant finish, durable ripstop floor, and compact pack size, this bivy is engineered for nights on exposed ledges and high ridgelines where every gram and feature count.
