I'm large (6'3", 214#) and used this with a MtnHdwr Switch in the mountains; very comfortable on the ground or with a mattress. I found it comfortable, didn't need the mosquito mesh that time, but I got this bivy to meet any situation. It has a loop on the top to tie it up to something if you want it "pitched" off your bag (tie it loosely). I was surprised with the room I had, more than I expected.
