    These bags are very very heavy and unless you're setting up camp for a while it's a PITA to carry a 5lb sleeping bag.
    I can attest to the fact that whatever the cadpat ones were, they were neither moss proof, nor Mississippi downpour proof. They work well in conjunction with some form of cover and a not too wet ground. Not 100% waterproof. Not sure about these US ones, but they are tempting!

    Damn thats heavy for bivy. For the same price you can almost get OR or RAB at half the weight.

    I’ve been using one of those in Woodland camo. The goretex bivy is heavy duty and it will keep you dry and warm. Bargain price for q premium piece of kit even in the ugly ACU pattern.

    I replaced my issued sleeping system with this. Having used the cadpat bivy, this bivy is miles ahead in term of doing its job. It is actually waterproof and will keep you dry.

    Same color nail polish to match will do the trick.
