£30 sounds reasonable to me are you going to get it done ?

Think I might as the ideal standard bivi doesn’t seem to exist.
We also talked about bug netting in the opening which would cost the same again.
I mentioned a regular, big toothed zip with storm flap but that was going to be about £50-ish

Have you looked at the MLD bivvy bags, bit spendy but I'm impressed with mine, had it a couple of years.

Just checked the price and they are alot spendy but still very good !!

Just remembered, there's a girl on the wildcamping UK fb page who makes stuff and does alterations - looks top notch and reasonable £. Lucy maybe?
