Is this bivvy large enough to fit over a down bag to protect it from moisture ?

I plan on getting one to use as a vapor barrier liner IN the sleeping bag during winter excursions. It'll not only increase the warmth factor by approx. 15* to 20*F of the sleeping bag, it'll keep me hydrated as well. Two HUGE benefits for such an inexpensive price of the Heatsheets! Of course, I'll use it as an emergency essential too!

Workable for a few hours in an emergency. However, be aware your down bag may be soaked through in condensation and have virtually no insulating value within hours. For other uses, better to get a gore-tex bivvy bag, down bag with built-in breathable, water resistant outer membrane, or use this bivvy with a synthetic sleeping bag.

Yeah, but you'll be way way too hot if you use this over a sleeping bag.
