it's "factory compressed to the size of a soda can" which makes me think you can open it to use it, but you'll never get it packed away again.

it's a bit expensive for a 'use once' bivi.

True but I do think it's ment to be reused.

have a look at this review seems to work well and regardless of pack size the weight stays the same
