SOL Escape Bivvy vs. SOL Escape Lite Bivvy

[SlowRide]

Anyone have experience with both? I'm familiar with the SOL Escape, but noticed they have an Escape Lite available also. There doesn't seem to be any good comparison chart on SOL's site for these two products other than to say that the Escape is 8.5oz and the Escape Lite is 5.5oz. Product description wise the Lite version doesn't have the paragraph about rugged durable fabric so I'd guess they made up 3oz on thickness of fabric or such but that's just a guess. Anyone have any definitive input on the differences? TIA!

I watched the videos on both, and if I remember correctly the "lite" just doesn't have the bells and whistles

The Lite version does not have a boxed foot area, 3/4 side zipper or cinchable hood. They also say they used "a lighter weight material" than the Escape but I am not sure what that means exactly.

I have the regular Escape Bivvy and love it. I have used it alone on hot summer nights, with a 45 degree bag on chillier nights, and over a 20 degree bag when there was blowing snow and rain (sleeping under a tarp). It has been a good performer. I am a little worried about wearing a hole in it over time as it seems that could easily happen, but time will tell. To date, its been great.

Thanks Wahday, that was exactly the info I was looking for. I think I'll stick with the regular escape bivvy.
