given how compact single person tents have gotten I have a hard time seeing why you'd want to go bivy, probably saving a few ounces and maybe no actual space with that

no, you don't, ultralight single tents get down below two pounds for similar money

its rei branded and it is not a bivy, you can sit up in it if it is raining, which is very nice to be able to do, for not much more you can get full on brand name stuff

all the more reason to have a little room and not be trapped in a coffin all evening in the rain, if you're willing to use a trekking pole design you can go even lighter than your bivy and have a center line that anyone who isn't 8 feet tall can at least sit in

your pad and bag are all that really matters for that and I highly doubt you are going to do any snow camping in your fucking bivy
