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.

But doesn't the 3000mm HH rating mean it won't?
Might just get a lighter tent then. Currently got a crappy 2/3 man.
Edit: I think you're right about the waterproof zips. But it does have a large flap which covers the zip. Meaning most water (if from above) won't get near it.

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?
