I just received my Sierra Trading Post, and my tired eyes wouldn't focus on
that small picture.  I went to their web site, and looked at the large
version.  If I had to guess, I'd call it a single wall shelter, (i.e. without a
separate fly), and vented at the foot and head much like Slumberjack's bivy.
On the positive side, the inner volume sounds quite spacious for a bivy, (30"
of headroom) and at two pounds, definitely in the lightweight class.

I couldn't find it listed on Kelty's site, nor could I find a review of it on a
few other backpacking pages.  Curious, perhaps it never made it into full
production?  Or perhaps, being of Chines manufacture, there were some import
problems.
