Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. Was there anywhere the water wasn't beading on the surface? I like how the zip design is one piece too, a cleaner design than the Dutch. Adding a flyscreen to the midsection would be idea for Australian Summer nights, cross breeze etc. Thanks again.
thanks. I agree that a flyscreen in the midsection makes the bivvy even more suitable for warmer conditions. I wrap it sometimes in a large mosquito net so that I can leave it open at nights. Regarding the water, there was about an inch of water over the full length of the bivvy, apart from the inclined section from the zipper to the hoop.
There is little info available about Gammatex, but it appears to be very similar. Similar to GoreTex, it is made of 3 layers that aim for waterproofness and breathability.
Good to see no water getting in.
Thank you for sharing that with us.
All the best.

it's the same as Goretex, right ?
