I am looking for something extremely small, lightweight, waterproof (yet breathes moisture, humidity is a big no), for an extended kayaking trip. I will be (hobie cat touring)kayaking along the shore for several days and need something that I can set up quickly on the beach just to keep me waterproof and provide a little wind resistance basically. I do not want a bivy that necessarily keeps one super warm as this will be a summer weather trip.This looks to fit the bill. What do you think?

It fits everything you want just fine. If you want a couple amenities you should look at a bivy with a pole or two. BD makes one and so do Big Agnes and OR. They offer a little head room and keep the fabric off you if you have to zip it up during rain, etc. Check out the Black Diamond Lightsabre, for the money it is the best. Two poles and it only weights 3 oz. more. This TNF will work great for what you want though. Good luck and have fun on the trip.
