Black Diamond Lightsabre Bivy Sack
This is a bivy (and a pretty good one at that)

I've used this bivy for 100+ nights (sometimes with a beta-light if it's really pouring rain), and it's pretty good. But it is a bivy. That means that it's tight (but way, way roomier than most bivy sacks), has condensation issues (just like most bivys since they rest right on your sleeping bag, inhibiting airflow), and isn't a tent (but that's why you buy these things, right?!)
Pluses -- the lightest, most compressable, roomiest bivy that I have seen. Minuses -- must be very carefully seam-sealed to be water-tight, not super-breathable, not super-weathertight.
