You are correct, no mesh. This bivy is meant to be used as an emergency bivy just in case things get bad. It is an excellent product that has a super durable floor (10,000mm coated 40D) and a highly water-resistant, breathable top. It's easy to get in and out due to the zipper-side access. It actually is a decent shelter if all you want is something to keep the occasional drops of moisture off of you while sleeping. For instance, in areas like the Grand Canyon where rain (at certain times of the year) is not that prevalent, this would be a great shelter option. It is also intended for times when you are caught in weather and need an emergecy shelter that's super fast to deploy. It isn't meant as a primary shelter for areas where a significant amount of rain is expected.
