Most or even all bivvy sacks are about 15% too small. There's no excuse for this. They all want to save weight.

I've used a one-pound non-waterproof bivvy sack about 20 nights a year for four years. It nicely protects my two very light sleeping bags, adds warmth, and sometimes I just use warm underwear.. with sack... I use tarp shelters, and have mostly now given up groundsheets and also stuff sack due to bivvy sack's usefulness, and/or my chronic forgetfulness........

The top part of sack is water repellant and I haven't found condensation much of a problem. OR discontinued this model, and now all I can see are Goretex or similar. Don't know if they breath as good. I may need a new one in a couple of years.
