I don’t backpack much—I thought I was going to start again when I bought this—and the shelter isn’t working for me on biking trips or paddling trips. I used it on one trip of 10 days. I used it with a short pole set from Yama Mountain Gear. I wish I would have gotten the longer poles, because at that height when using trekking poles it works really well. Ideally if you want one, you’ll use trekking poles or get the longer pole set.

      I think I tried it out once, but after I got the Borah bivies I didn’t use it anymore. I got both the Borah Cuben Bug Bivy and Borah Ultralight Bivy. The Borah Cuben Bug Bivy was lighter and just about as comfortable inside, so it didn’t make sense to use or keep the Y-zip anymore. It was easier to get into and out of the Y-zip, but the Borah was ~3 ounces lighter. That’s why I kept that one. I have a Yama DCF tappered solo tarp that the Borah works well with.

      Both are really nice for what they do. If you have the Yama Cirriform, the Y-zip is sized to work perfectly with it. That’s not a factor for me anymore, so the lighter Borah is my choice between the two.
