Yeah alpkits a piece of shit.
Weight isn't the be all. if you're going to take a bivvy, take one that is decent. You'd need the Hunka XL to fit in. Not much less weight. You want a zip up bivvy so you don't get eaten alive by midges or cold.
I'd recommend mike halls quote again. 'It might not be the lightest, but it's not going to slow me down'. A few hundred grams on GOOD kit, is worth it. If you're buying kit trying to save weight, then just don't take it.

650g, £80 on sale but yeah, that's twice the weight and more expensive than the Alpkit Hunka:

Any idea how they compare?
The SOL stuff is then half the weight again but is basically just a boil-in-the-bag foil wrap.
