Hey Matt, The Aurora, Alpine and the Advanced bivys use Gore fabric for the most waterproof, breathable fabric you can get. Proven technology, 100% backed by Gore AND by OR. The Aurora does not have a pole, the Alpine has one pole, and the Advanced has two poles with a foot vent. The Highland Bivy is also good, made of Pertex which is WP/B too, but Gore is more proven technology. Check out the OR website to see a video about the Bivys: http://www.outdoorresearch.com/site/browse/Shelter%20Systems.html Thanks!
