AndruAgree the bugnet issue is annoying. I took this bike-packing. Not having anywhere to air damp clothes on a damp night is a serious disadvantage. If you can take a tent

AndruI'm seeing an attachment to strap the bug net out of your face on the Massdrop photos? Does this not work or am I missing something?

AndruYou did yourself a favor by losing it. It's not waterproof, and I almost froze to death because of this claim. Returned it promptly.

Username931235324theres a loop and toggle which is used to tie up the bugnet, but the waterproof cover then dangles inside the bivvy right at neck/chin level, and there’s not enough tension in the bugnet to keep it away from your face. It’s a pretty serious design flaw for something this expensive.

It's super light and packs small. It has the option of a bugnet over your head so you lie out under the stars without being bitten to death.
Unfortunately there are some really poor design choices. No interior loops and toggles means having the bugnet up will leave the waterproof cover dangling right in your face/neck. There's a small wall around the bottom of the entry but it has neither enough of it's own tension to stay up, nor any way to peg it out, so unless you ram something up against it, there's not enough tension to really keep the bugnet away from your face. Even with something keeping the wall up, I still had to use some clothes pegs to pin the bugnet up to some guylines; and some more clothes pegs to peg the hanging fabric away from my face.
What should be a simple set-up suddenly becomes an effort and a cramped and frustating experience getting things clipped right while you're inside the bivy.
I lost this at the end of a trip. I won't be replacing it.
