I can't speak for the "flight" bivy but I have an Integral Designs Event South Col bivy that I won't leave home without on my trips. It is extremely waterproof, lightweight, compact, and very breathable because of the Event material. I have gone through some torrential rains backpacking through Arizona during monsoon season and with the bivy completely zipped, have stayed completely dry from the rain, and comfortable. At most I might wake up with a little condensation on my sleeping bag but not enough to where it seeped into the bag. That's the nature of bivys anyways. The only downside to it is the Event bivys are a little pricier, expect to pay about $100 more.
