I don't believe they are available yet. I'm pretty sure they are to be delivered in July.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I just got the Ascent back, small day pack. It is well made with practical design. Handy pockets , water bladder sleeve with a zippered section in shoulder straps for the tube, good suspension. So, if the bivy 45 is built same,should be a good pack.

I like it - on the website they do a terrible job of showing the pack so it was hard to say of good/not good. Thanks for the great pics - any idea on what the empty weight is?

I like it, too.
How much are they?
Not sure if it would do anything different than my Badlands 2200 though.

That looks like a nice pack, I like the material and the especially the zippers. Sitka makes great products.

Picked one up last night a Sportsman's Warehouse. First impression this baby is awesome, weighs about the same as my Badlands 2200 except you can carry twice as much gear. Take the top pack off and it compress's down to the size of the 2200. Went on a 3 mile hike this morning with about 40 pounds first thing I noticed was how your back does not sweat hardly at all compared to the 2200 great venilation and comfort with this suspension system, I'm usually soaked within about 10 minutes with the badlands but not with the Bivy pack. Seemed to carry the weight much better also. There is also a meat shelf that folds out and a rifle holder, That I will try tommorow on a little bear hunt close to home. I think this is going to make for a great 3--5 day pack.

I checked them out today at Sportsman's Warehouse. I like `em! Maybe for Christmas if the woman thinks I deserve it or not.

Does anyone know if the Sitka Bivy 45 has a sleeve for a hydration bladder?
