Would it be too warm in hot weather? Could you manage a clothes change in it? Could you see the stars through it?

These are one of the better. I have tried, no bag one that was 89 and I turned into a sauna tube in a minute. Most will be waterproof but it is the breathability. I like Big agnes for their eVent bivy or one that is goretex for the best breatheability. Also yes get a bipod/tripod for soemthing off your face. Some dont care but I cant stand anything on my face.

I spent a summer doing field research in the North Cascades using this bag comboed with a light weight sleeping bag. I found this bivy to be too hot, and the hoop didn't keep the netting off my face enough. Result: sweaty body bugged by incessant buzzing. I've not tried the tripod version, but I think it might keep the bivy material off your head enough to allow more heat to escape. Hope this helps

This bivy is good for all seasons. A contortionist could manage a change of clothes in it & the stars are highly visible when the top is down!
