USMC Coyote Brown Improved Bivy Cover

A crash course in etymology, brought to you by the USMC: Coming from the German Swiss term Beiwacht (bei by, and wacht watch or patrol) the proper term for this item is is biv·ou·ac (/ˈbivo͞oˌak/) but most know it as the Bivy. When inclement weather catches you off guard, or your quick stay in the woods doesn't require a tent, the Bivy fills in the gap as a quick-to-deploy rudimentary shelter. Just like the US Army's Modular Sleep System, the USMC's 3 season sleep system (3S) is a modular set of sleeping bags & a bivy cover, but these are not intended for extreme cold weather.  Marines primarily pack their patrol bag and this, the Bivy cover. The whole 3S system is 10% lighter than the MSS, and the bivy itself is nearly 20% lighter than it's Army cousin. It completely encapsulates the user in severe weather conditions with a highly water repellant membrane, and It's a partial-side-zip and wire-suspended face net keeps it comfortable and easy to get in/get out.
