Rated 4 out of 5

Mostly good bivvy

Used on just one trip so far. My first bivvy, it's definitely very lightweight and comfortable for summer in California. The biggest design flaws I've noticed are that it could use a couple more stake loops (there's one at the head and one diagonally on the foot), and if you want to leave the mesh open over your face, the pertex cover ends up awkwardly overhanging half of the gap when you use the ties to fold it up. I could get around this by sort of pulling the excess over pole but it's awkward.
