Great Shelter

This is an awesome shelter...it is very light...and greatly increased the warmth of my bag due to it being small....your breath heats your living space up pretty good.....if you do not like confined spaces than get a one man tent....or just leave the zipper partialy open. I am impressed with the craftsmanship on this bivy....I dig the zipper tags being glow in the dark...it helps when the call of nature over rides the cold pre-dawn temps....the only thing I wish it had was a bug net on the door....but I just deal with the occasional moth while star gazing...
