Strange Zipper

While this bivy is light and packs nicely, the zipper placement is very strange. It starts from the middle directly above your head and goes down to your shoulder.

umm, no. not a strange placement at all, seeing that it starts up near your head(for ventilation?!?!) and goes well past your shoulder down the side towards your waist.
