NEMO Gogo LE bivy is the same proven shelter as the Gogo, but with an extra 6 in. of length in the tail and an additional zippered entry on the side.

  • This roomy adventure bivy is perfect for fast packing and solo traverses, and now with the extra length you have 10 ft. of interior length to share with your pack
  • With the 2nd door you'll have a quick escape without having to move or crawl over your pack, a way to check the weather and an additional ventilation option
  • AirSupported Technology® offers unrivaled field repairability, quick setup and zero hassle
  • AirSupported beams are twice as strong as standard aluminum poles and bounce back instead of snapping under weight or extreme wind
  • Airbeams are constructed with a heavy-duty laminate fabric that is tough, and in the unlikely event of a puncture they're easily repaired in the field
  • Airbeam construction ensures fast and easy tent setup/takedown and a very small packed size
  • Integrated foot pump inflates the Gogo in about 15 seconds from inside or out, weighs less than 4 oz. and packs easily into the tent's stuff sack
  • Single-wall shell is made from Silnylon OSMO™ waterproof, breathable fabric which fights condensation with its high rate of breathability
  • Gogo's Exofly™ front canopy creates a roomy interior with mesh for summer breezes and a vestibule for stormy weather
  • Swallowtail design allows you to add a stick to the foot of the bivy to tension it up off your sleeping bag; this also enhances ventilation
  • Durable floor is made from tough polyurethane-coated nylon
  • Features reflective guyouts, a headlamp hook and a watertight stuff sack that doubles as a pocket inside the tent
  • Includes dry-bag stuff sack, pump, repair kit and quick-deflate valve

Imported.

Comments about NEMO Gogo LE Bivy:

I really wanted to like this bivy. The concept is awesome an inflatable tube in place of poles.
The good:
This thing really packs down small (this can also be done with any UL tent and a compression sack).
It is a light product (kind of a tent bivy hybrid)
The compression sack is pretty sweet.
The inflatable tube system really works.
(REI's Awesome return policy!)

The Bad:
The gogo LE I purchased was not waterproof , not even kind of. Water leaked from the seems, the zippers and the fabric itself.
Not enough steaks provided to fully steak the bivy down. Not really a problem because I tested it out before going up but still annoying.

So I am sure you are thinking there are more pros than cons listed here but the fact of the matter is when you get as wet as I did while in a down bag it creates a very dangerous situation. I was about 6 hours away from the trail head and it was wet rocky, serious elevation changes, a poorly maintained trail and pitch dark out.
Just an added note I have slept in a Bibler big wall and understand there are some condensation issues with using a bivy, this was not the case this bivy bled water in a very light rain.

Comments about NEMO Gogo LE Bivy:

I have been trying to go smaller and lighter through the years so I thought this would be perfect for me. It's a great bivy tent but more of a bivy then tent. Bottom line it's just smaller then I want but an excellent bivy tent. I'm 6'1 tall and 205 pounds and the tent was long enough for me just not tall enough.
I only used it one night while bike touring and it rained all day and the day before so everything was very wet, I mean the ground was saturated with water. We were camped in a valley by a large river so there's always a lot of dampness or dew all the time. I set the bivy tent up in a light rain and stored some of my clothes and essentials in the front of the tent. The vestibule is not too big but worked out well for the things I needed to have on hand. I was not able to get my panniers and all my gear in the vestibule but did not expect to as they are water proof anyway.
During the night I was a little claustrophobic as the tent would touch the top of my sleeping bag. I did notice that from side to side I had plenty of room. The temperature was in the lower 50 F. and there was a light rain off and on thought the night. I had the vestibule and the side entry slightly open enough so the rain could not get in the tent. The inside stayed dry and warm with almost no condensation. I was very please with this part of the tent.
Setup and take down are so easy and fast with the air tub, it's a great design. It takes longer to find a stick to prop the back end up with then to setup the tent.
Maybe if it was just a little bigger, enough to change clothes in it would be perfect for me. But for now I am staying with my one man three season tent.
I am sure that if you are a real minimalist you will love this bivy tent.
This little bivy deserves a 5 STAR rating but I'm only giving it a 4 because I will not be using it for the reasons stated.
