I'm not familiar with bivy shelters. Do you still need to carry a sleeping bag, or is this a kind of tent and sleeping bag all in one?

You can keep your sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and bivy all rolled up together. You'll just need to buy a bigger stuff sack to hold everything. Makes for a quick deployment especially if caught by a quick and unexpected downpour.

There's no insulation in a bivy sack. It's just a very small & compressible, minimalist shelter.You will need a sleeping bag or a sleeping system of some kind.
