Yeah you're too big for the normal hunka. I struggled it in, even without my pad. It is restrictive and not nice.
You need a better sleeping bag (if you want to use a sleeping bag). I have an ok bag Phantom 32 (only 800 fill down) and I can sleep out down to -5 easy in that. No thermals. Just shorts and t shirt. I woke up one morning to find all my water and milk had frozen! I was warm.
If you sleeping bag was getting compressed in the bivvi (it will be) you'll be getting cold.
That PHD bag will cut out the wind but allow you to breeth. It's also super light. You don't need waterproof non breathable (alpkit) as you won't be sleeping in the rain.
Sleeping pads are quite happy outside the bivvi.
