Does look heavy. And sweaty. I think I'd rather go with an Equinox bivy and a blue tarp from Wallyworld. Can you imagine being stuck in something that small for a long storm? Sitting up occasionally is nice.
If this is your first Bivy shelter then I say absolutely. The price is right to experiment.
Some of the more advanced Bivy Shelters have eVent material and are considerably more breathable and lighter. However, they would be 5 x the price (at least).
Is this sort of like the Moment tarptent only twice the weight?
Like the Moment, with less ventilation and headroom.
I used a Eureka Solitaire for about a year when I first started looking into getting lighter. I think it is pretty similar to what is there…wasn't the best, and there are definitely much better options but I got by.
That said, if you like it (bivy style), I bet you'll replace it pretty fast. :)
I saw the same bivy at sportsman's guide for 30$ but under the name "Famous Maker." I just checked and they are sold out but you may want to check back in a few days and save 20$. If you plan on spending 50$ on it Ive seen spitfire's for around 70$. Would be well worth it to spend 20$ more.
