Summary: The bivy is totaly waterproof...unfortunately inside and out. Rain did not soak in but bag is so air tight inside moisture did not breathe out. had to oben bivy to allow wet air out (cold air in). i have used this bivy on several occasions now and have decided it is best suited for dry, warm weather so the bag is able to breathe. i should have gone with a plastic tarp.

Summary: Im very happy with this Bivy sack. Ive used it 3 nights and have not noticed ANY condensation inside. The hooped pole keeps the netting off my head and helps avoid feelings of claustrophobia. It weighs 2lbs and takes up little space in my pack. Great for solo hiking or for someone who doesnt want to share a tent.

Summary: sucks, don't buy it. Bad design. Everything from zipper location, to the way it opened, the way the netting worked, everything. It also condensated really bad. The pole doesn't clip into the sack, there is a separate cord I guess it's called that lays loose under the bag! How dumb is that? The whole design is bad, it's a bad buy.
