Breathable, but not that roomy
robr: 
The fabric is excellent... breaths well and completely waterproof. They say it is roomier than most bivy's, but it is still very cramped for my taste. I'm 5'10" and 155lbs...the length is fine, there is just little room for movement in the shoulders. Overall great quality, I guess bivys are not for me.
Nice Bag, ZipperToo Short
AZCanyonHiker: 
After setting up this Bivy in my living room, sliding in my pad and my winter bag, it was nearly impossible to get in the thing myself. I am 6'1", 200 pounds and need to be Houdini to get my head under the hooded beak. Lengthening the zipper 18 inches, or using a waterproof center zipper like the Bugaboo might help. I loved the quality in the construction and the roominess once inside, but disliked the claustrophobic feeling of the hood. You are completely cut off from the world around you on even when using the mesh only.
Bibler Bivy sack
Blindrobin: 
I love my Bibler Bivy sack! It fits nicely on my backpack which I strap to the sissy bar on my Harley. I used it recently in some very rainy conditions and was pleased that I stayed dry! The addition of poles and cords gives the feeling of a small tent rather than that of a traditional bivy.
Roomy Enough
MikeSF:
I bought this bivy for winter use where minimal pack weight and dependability are needed. I am 5'11" and 190 lbs and am surprised at the spaciousness for a bivy. The headroom under the canopy is very adequate and when staked out it keeps weight off my sleeping bag all the way to my feet. It sets up quickly, is meant as a bombproof sleeping shelter and is a better choice for me than a one man tent.
Very compact, convenient.
Lex Berezhny:
I've only camped out once in this tent so far but it was 20F, and the bivy definitely helped to keep me warm.
