When shopping for it, I tried this and the Bibler hoop bivy. While it was lighter, I did not like the Bibler entrance or pole. The OR Deluxe is nice because it has a single shock-corded pole that keeps the bag/netting off your head and because if I need to save every ounce of weight I can leave the pole at home. In recent trips it has been fine in wet, cool weather -- light rain and 40 degrees and almost no condensation. I also use a tarp if rain is heavy. I always try to keep at least a little of the hood open for ventilation. This bag will also add 5-10 degrees to your sleeping bag.
