    Used mine twice - in October and March. Both occasions were dry. One of the occasions was in long wet grass which didnt soak through. Both occasions i kept the outer open and had no issue with condensation. Yet to test in rain and outer closed.

      Yeah I haven’t been out in the rain with it too. But can only assume a separate tarp may be needed just incase I still rate it though for a good night out under the stars.

    Thanks for that,any ideas if and how many degrees warmer than say a tarp tent.I have done a few trails in the USA and felt I could get away with a lighter sleeping bag than most by using a bivi.

      @@pudster1960 yes you definitely could get away with a lighter sleep system when I camped in the snow on a mountain named Tryfan in the uk I used two bivvy bags this one and an old military one and I was snug as a bug in a rug. But it all depends on weather but also too hot and you will still get condensation in the bivy
      Still being in a bivy bag is still warmer than being under a tarp by a couple of degrees

    How was the condensation and was ventilation enough when in sleeping bag? I’ve ordered one as I think these crappy high wins during winter are the future. I like to camp on high mountains etc.

    • @escapeoutdoors.
      @escapeoutdoors.  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When we went on Tryfan it was good but that cold I had a British Army bivvy inside to protect against wind chill. But yes summer months I would expect condensation.
