Rain is rarely the problem; your own moisture usually is · review
A 3-layer Gore-Tex cover that names every layer of its construction and publishes neither a waterproof figure, a breathability figure, a weight nor a packed size.
An olive green sleeping-bag cover in 3-layer Gore-Tex, stated at 243 cm (95.7 in) long with a 98 cm (38.6 in) shoulder width, with a 100% polyamide face fabric, a PTFE membrane and a 100% polyamide lining, and a central zip.
The construction, layer by layer. Most covers in this hub say laminate and stop; this one names the face, the membrane and the lining as separate materials. The cut is published too — length and shoulder width — which is what you measure your own bag against.
No hydrostatic head. The membrane is named and never quantified.
No breathability figure. The cover is described as air permeable, and the maker states that condensation is markedly reduced compared with simple bivy bags. That is a comparison, not a measurement, and there is no scale attached to it.
No weight, no packed size. The title says ultra light. There is no figure anywhere on the page.
The central zip is the ventilation control the maker names. On a cover with no published breathability figure, how far that zip opens is the part of the specification you can actually reason about.
The American Amazon store returned nothing, so the buy link opens a local search rather than a page that is not there.

It identifies the membrane, which is more than an unnamed laminate offers. It is not a number, and this hub carries a breathability column precisely because a name and a figure are different claims. The listing also states that condensation is reduced compared with simple bivy bags — a comparison, again without a figure.
The maker publishes 243 cm (95.7 in) of length and 98 cm (38.6 in) across the shoulders, which is the longest cut in this hub. Whether it clears your own bag is a measurement you can make, because for once both numbers are on the page.
No. Not published on the listing. What the listing does publish instead is the fabric: 3-layer Gore-Tex — 100% polyamide outer, 100% PTFE membrane, 100% polyamide inner, stated.
8.4/ 10
Three layers named one by one, a length and a shoulder width — and not a single number for waterproofing, breathability, weight or bulk.
A winter sleeping bag that needs a long, wide cover and where the membrane name is the specification being bought.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for camping and hiking gear and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
Emergency bag · sold as a pair · PE film with aluminum-coated inner · 213 × 91 cm (83.9 × 35.8 in) · 115 g stated · 120 dB whistle
An emergency survival bag sold in twos with a whistle sewn in — it names its film and gives a weight, and publishes nothing about breathability or closure.
Best for: A kit where a named material and a published weight are wanted from an emergency bag.
One-person bivy shelter · two aluminum poles · PU 5000 mm (196.9 in) flysheet · sealed and double-stitched seams · 215 × 75 × 61 cm (84.6 × 29.5 × 24 in) · 1.3 kg complete, stated
A poled one-person shelter sold as a bivy, publishing a flysheet water column, sealed seams and a complete-set weight — with no fabric named and no breathability figure.
Best for: A solo pitch where head room and a sealed floor matter more than packing small.
Sleeping-bag cover · 3-layer laminate · 5,000 mm (196.9 in) water column · breathable membrane, no figure · 225 × 85 cm (88.6 × 33.5 in) · 1,300 g and 40 × 8 cm (15.7 × 3.1 in) packed, stated
A generously cut laminate cover that publishes its water column, its packed size and its weight — and calls its membrane breathable without ever putting a number on it.
Best for: A cover bought for cut and closure rather than for weight, over a bulky synthetic sleeping bag.
