It's definitely a much better price...my only concern is that it's still only polythylene...granted it's fairly heavy duty, but the problem is that you have to climb inside it...fully clothed...with shoes on...on concrete.
I'm guessing you're more likely to rip a hole in it than a blanket that you wrap around you.
Also, with a blanket you can wrap it around you whilst sitting too, something which isn't possible with a bivvy.
I'm no Ray Mears, i'm just thinking about what will be more useful, for a larger part of the day too...and for a sixth of the price, which means six times as many can be bought.
This is the description of the ones i was looking at....if you buy 100+ they're 51p each.
