The official ACR/Bivy product page (bivystick.com/bivy-stick) lists the device at $199.95 (down from $349, "Save $100 USD") and states Iridium satellite coverage, IPX7 waterproofing, up to 120 hours battery life, on-demand weather forecasts, and dimensions 11.35 x 4.7 x 2.11 cm. The Amazon retail listing (sold by ACR Electronics) independently corroborates the standalone Bivy Stick as distinct from the MESH, confirming "IPX7 waterproof", "Battery Average Life 120 Hours", Iridium two-way messaging, weather updates, and item dimensions 4.47 x 1.85 x 0.83 in (= 113.5 x 47 x 21.1 mm). weightGrams is left null because the sources materially disagree (Amazon 3.35 oz ~95 g, bivystick.com 100 g, acrartex.com 112 g); batteryType is rechargeable-lithium (built-in USB-C-charged cell per both cited pages; acrartex.com further specifies "Lithium Ion Polymer 1400 mAh").
