I'm looking at getting my first bivy, so I hope to hear from a few people who already use them. I'm looking at the Borah Snowyside which is 6' 4" long. My pad, quilt, and I are about 5' 6". The Snowyside can be ordered with custom dimensions, but I don't know how much extra space in the bag would be useful for stowing gear. I would like people's opinions on whether they find extra length in a bivy useful, and if so, how much extra length would you ideally have?
Thank you in advance for your perspective.
