I can't remember if it's Event or Goretex :roll: I'll have a look tonight. Whatever the material it worked well enough. There's a mesh vent across the top of the zip to provide a bit of ventilation

I find both eVent (lots of experience of) and Goretex (used less) to be amongst the very best materials for bivvy bags. Breathability is pretty much unrivalled.

That sounds great - I'll take it either way please. And apologies for talking about you in the third person...
