DO NOT BUY THIS BIVY

I used this in the North Cascades in February during a snowstorm up 6000ft and it was absolutely horrible. Not waterproof, not windproof, and should NOT be considered a "winter" bivy, let alone a bivy at all. It's thinner than tent material and super light-weight, but that is not always a good thing. Get another bivy, not this one.
