That doesn't look like it has waterproof zips, which means that water would leak in from the side. The material also doesn't look particularly tough, and might let in moisture from underneath if the ground is damp.

I've got the Alpkit bivvy and tarp setup. It's great and with a fancy carbon fibre pole and a very light weight (and cheap) sleeping bag it comes in at about 1kg for the lot. Would recommend

This says its 225cm and probably more in your price range than alpkit https://www.mountainwarehouse.com/bivy-bag-p13634.aspx/

@tallsam
Thinking of buying a bivvy. As my tent weighs a ton (compared to a 345g bivvy) and seems silly to cart it around for one night. Only plan to use it once (but will use more if I like it). So don't want to spend much.
This seems ok and will fit me (I'm 198cm). Any reason I shouldn't get it? Will be used 3-4 nights/year max.
Also, should probably buy a basha/tarp. Any suggestions?
