I love this Bivy!, I've used it on late Autum and Winter hikes in the Rockies and the Smokies and it has preformed exceptional everytime. The really key to using this effectivly is pairing it with the right sleeping bag, if you can that right than you can rest easy all night long. I love that this bivy has a little extra room, make it great for fitting a sleeping pad inside with you so you don't have to worry about rolling off of it and ending up in the snow. Provides great protection from the elements and really keep you weight down on extended trips and summit pushes. All in all I think that this bivy is great, condensation can be a minor issue, very minor, but overall if used properly you should have no worries about this guy.
