Had a wee look at them stain look the dogs balls and alot cheaper than the Rab ridge raider.

I wonder how waterproof/breatheable and comfy they are

[MG1]

Do you think you could fit in your bag and boots?

These are the sizes:
Size: 230 x 95 x 60cm
Pack Size: 35 x 10 x 15cm
Weight: 1300g / 1.3KG

At 2.5m long I'n sure it'll take a 35ltr pack and boots stain.

looks good for the money. i'm not a big fan of hooped bivys tho, It may just be me but I like the idea of being able to sit up in a tent even if its just to get un/dressed!

The worst thing about a bivvy bag is definitely trying to get in and out of it

I agree but I was thinking about my summer kit (if we ever get one). My Plan is to use this along with a synthetic bag (snugpak softie) for summit camps. I found that even with a tent a down bag can feel a bit like babysitting. So For the summer I just want something i can jump into clothes and all. Don't get me wrong I love my pipedream but I just want something a bit more robust for the damp summer to come.

I'd agree although my synth bag is as heavy as the Alpkit PD.
