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

Gogo LE™ is the same proven shelter as Gogo™, but with an extra 6" of length in the tail and an additional zippered entry on the side. The extra overall length compared to Gogo™ means you've got 10 feet of interior length to share with your pack. If you store your pack in the nose of the shelter, blocking the main doorway, the second door provides a quick escape without having to move your pack. The side door also gives you an easy way to peek out and check the weather, access gear you've left outside or add ventilation. Gogo LE™ comes with the Integrated Pump, a watertight stuff sack, stakes, and a repair kit.

Great product but too small for me

Rating:****
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.

Negative Reviews:

I really wanted to like this...

Rating:**
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.
