I bought a Vaude Bivi from Vaude at the NEC show recently, they did not have in stock but promised to forward it to me at the show disounted price, The Bivi arrived a whole 6 days later and when I opened it I was stunned to see that it had been used and was covered in mud and there was a peg missing! who said Vaude equals quality????
Pyrenees, Summer 08:
Went through a storm (strong winds and heavy, heavy rain) perfectly, totally dry interior and floor.
But when the rain stopped, condensation started to build up and I ended up soaked...
If there\'s no rain, open all zips as much as you can to force ventilation and avoid condensation.
Also, be sure all guy lines are taut and it\'s well pitched.

When I pitch it I wonder how on earth am I going to fit in it. After a little wriggle and Houdini contortions you are in. Fantastic when it is cold and dry- bad with midges about. Great little touches and details. Packs down very small and is very easy to pitch. In cold still conditions it is definitley warmer than a tent. Dry and reasuuring in the rain and snow. The top tends to flap a little when the wind picks up. A good bivi on budget. Very well made- Vaude=quality.

Great tent, though like all single skin tents you will get a build-up of moisture on the inside. Must be put up correctly to avoid sagging and touching you sleeping bag. Good zipped opening above head.
