Those of you who own this bivy, can you give me an idea how big it is? Can you fit a full length pad in it with a 20 degree bag? How thick of a pad?
Pictures would be great.
Thanks

I'd like to see these questions answered, as well, so I thought I'd bump this just in case a Micro Bivy owner overlooked the earlier post. Anyone?
It is actually designed for a high loft bag (i.e. cold winter bag). A 2.5" pad and 20 degree bag would fit easily.
It is also long. I have a bag up to 6'6" and have room to spare – no concern with down compression. Because of the size of it, it is easy to put additional gear inside – i.e. clothing. As well, the opening is nice and wide and easy to get into. Although it is heavier than some other WP bivvies, it is also larger.
The floor is uber durable and generally no need for a groundsheet.
Any other questions?
This is what I used in the one I picked up from Ian a couple of weeks ago. No problems at all, with heaps of length (maybe an extra foot or more for me at 5'10") I plan on having a play with the opening, since it was hard to keep a good balance of open/close for wind protection and preventing breathing into the bivy.
In fairness though, it was 2am when we stopped to sleep, we'd been hiking for 5 hrs after a day of work, and I'd never actually climbed into the bivy before. I have to say it was easy to get in and out, and plenty roomy enough in there.
