From Backcountry.com:
"Take a break from the storm in the Outdoor Research Advanced Bivy, a lightweight option for solo backpackers and peak baggers. The innovative two-pole design creates an adjustable awning. This adjustability allows you to modify the angle of the overhead roof, and thus the size of the zipper opening, to match your environmental conditions. Rain or snow runs down the roof off this waterproof, windproof bivy's wide storm flap and onto the ground. When wind kicks up, reduce the zipper opening to prevent moisture from blowing in. When skies are clear, open to stargazing mode with the removable no-see-um netting in place to keep bugs out. Extra room under the awning creates a great place to store your boots. Straps secure your sleeping pad to the bivy interior so you don't have to deal with your pad sliding around. A small internal mesh pocket stores objects like headlamp or lip balm. This Outdoor Research bivy also has six guy-line loops so you can tie it down in extreme wind."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"This spacious bivy can be used in place of a single tent. It is larger than the Alpine, with more space for thicker sleeping pads and loftier bags. The patented dual-pole system can be used for increased ventilation and interior space, or left behind when weight and pack space are critical. The Gore-Tex Respiration Positive$ fabric allows warm moist air to escape to avoid condensation while providing supreme weather protection. A zippered vent at the base improves airflow on humid nights. Avg. weight: 39.0 oz./1106 g"

PRO'S:
Durability
Does show a little wear after 6 years and roughly 100 nights. Simple abrasion marks on the outer floor are visible, but have shown to have no effect to the overall performance."

I love this Gore-Tec Sac. I've had it over a year. Camped out in all types of weather. It's no fun changing clothes in it, but you can wait out a helava storm. (can be guyed out and staked. )
Cut the velcro, the bottom one."

Setup: The hoop poles are difficult to snap in place with cold hands. The pole sleeve seams have separated (I've had to resew them).
Water shedding qualities: The gore-tex top half works well."
