David,
Thanks for weighing in. I think I'll order the ID Overbag and try it out. The advantage of buying this it over the MLD Alpine custom job is that I can return it, especially if Thom's turns out to weigh a lot less and proves to work great.

The surgery wasn't 100% David. I may have to get more knife work done. :(
I can still manage a quick hobble at the moment. :)
Back on topic.Oct 22, 2010 at 11:54 am #1657019After reading this thread I too ordered an ID eVent overbag (5 minutes ago). $175 on Amazon! I will be using it primarily for winter. I have a bug bivy for the summer months.
I am very excited.
Oct 22, 2010 at 12:09 pm #1657021What! There was only one left at Amazon. I hope you didn't order it before me. Well, there will be another shipment in soon. Enjoy. The price was certainly right!
Oct 22, 2010 at 12:16 pm #1657026David, I have the ID Bugaboo with the coated nylon floor- I haven't had any condensation problems yet-
Am I in for a surprise at some point?Oct 22, 2010 at 1:07 pm #1657047@ Mike – tht sucks. I have been having issues with my hips (but I digress).
@ Tad – not at all. I was just comparing having an all eVent cover vs one with a PU coated floor. I may simply sweat more than you.
@ Phillip – I think Backcountry.com has both colors in stock. Full price though.
It will be interesting to see what the MLD all event cover comes in at with respect to weight. I suspect very close to the ID given that the ID is made for a winter lofting bag and is both long and wide.
