Ok, it's a bivy! What did I expect. I bought it for its light weight and pack size. I bought it to keep the wind and rain out in the UK.

Big Agnes should love me. I put the BA Lost Ranger and BA 15 degree pad inside. There was room for me and my boots. Very little else. Once I left the pole out for less space for cold air and condensation was a major issue. Use the pole!

You can't change it much without changing what it is, but a minimum the zipper needs to be at least 6 inches longer to ease getting in and out. When assembled with pole, it did keep the moisture out and did add a little warmth to the sleeping bag. But for me - I need a bit more floor and vertical space.
