Bivvy Bags

I just bought a bivy while I was in the USA in July. I did some research before which mainly involved looking at other peoples research. Overall findings were quite conclusive about fabric options in that I could only find one fabric that got feedback as breathable enough to stave off condensation in most conditions - Event got the best recommendations by far and even then there were conditions that can cause some condensation issues..

I bought a very simple Alpine design Event bag from Rab (in the UK ironically). Haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Will let you know soon!

Thanks ASL
I doubt if we can get Event locally.
Please post a pic of the bivy, if convenient.
Cheers

Rab Alpine bivy.... Just a basic bag with a zip made from eVent

It's little when packed..

Done, weighs 319g. No idea of waterproofness, condensation etc, will test waterproof with a garden spray on the weekend, and sleep in it to check condensation.

Will be using it with a single skin tent next weekend (if I need it).

That brick is so light I'm surprised the wind didn't take my bivy.....

Hi Viking, I've used it a couple of times.... when it is quite cold and wet, there is some condensation between the sleeping bag and bivy. I lent it to one of the girls on the last hike because she had been very cold the night before. It was dry, and not too cold, she kept very warm, and there was no condensation in the bag.
