It's a 13L dry bag with a North Face Kilo bag, Alpkit XL bivvy and Rab silk liner. Squished down it would fit into the 8L version but no room for the jacket/long sleeve baselayer. Plenty of room though using the 13L, maybe room for the jersey when I wasn't wearing it but just strapped it on top. I have an inflatable Alpkit mat too but I'd probably strap that to the fork if I ever actually use it.
The bivvy was fine, it's just the same as being in a mummy-style sleeping bag. Stayed dry all night, no rain this time thankfully. I found it warm enough just wearing bibs, tshirt, jersey, socks and a hat all night, it probably didn't drop below 6degrees though, the other guy thought the ground was too cold though and would have preferred a mat or something. Thankfully the ground was pretty comfy, found some springy but not lumpy grass amidst all the heather and bracken.
