Water proof material and vented, but not completely sealable so a heavy rain will get in. The big diff btw this and the less expensive version is the material. 30% doesn't state it strong enough - this baby is reusable multiple times. It can make a great warm weather sleeping bag alternative! Enjoy!

Adventure Medical's website states that this bag is in fact 'Waterproof, Windproof, and Warm,' but I wouldn't count on staying dry in a downpour. The difference between this and the AM Heatsheets Emergency Bivvy is that this version is supposedly more durable (with the aforementioned qualities), and 30% stronger than the other model. Aside from being half the price, however, the other model is half the weight and reflects more body heat, making it warmer. I have the Heatsheets Emergency Bivvy and can say that it stands up to some abuse. In my opinion, go for the Heatsheets version--this one just isn't worth the loftier price tag.
