my experiance with an unbranded military surplus bivvy was mixed. some nights i was really cold, others fine. the main problem was waking up drenched in my own sweat, on top a days worth of cycling funk. i always felt disgusting in the morning and i had to throw the sleeping bag after each tour. lucky most of my tours were by the sea so i could have an early swim/wash.
i probably wouldnt bother with the bivvy again, but then again i cant see myself going on another solitary camping tour. if i go on another tour im gonna go with other people and share the burdon of a much bigger tent. if i do go on my own im taking the credit card.
