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.
A one-person shelter with a two-pole aluminum frame, stated at 215 × 75 cm (84.6 × 29.5 in) with a 61 cm (24 in) height, a PU 5000 mm (196.9 in) outer flysheet, fully sealed and double-stitched seams, a mesh door, a top window, a packed size of 45 × 13 × 13 cm (17.7 × 5.1 × 5.1 in) and a stated 1.3 kg (2.9 lb) for the complete set.
This is the one figure in the hub that does what the site keeps asking for: it says what it covers. Approximately 1.3 kg (2.9 lb) for the complete set is a claim you can weigh a pack against. Elsewhere, one number appears with nothing said about poles, pegs or stuff sack.
PU 5000 mm is attributed to the outer flysheet. The floor gets no figure, and on a shelter with no separate groundsheet that is the number that decides a night on wet ground.
No fabric name, no denier, and no breathability figure. Airflow is described physically instead — a mesh door and a window at the top — which is a design answer rather than a measurement.
Compare 45 × 13 × 13 cm (17.7 × 5.1 × 5.1 in) packed against a one-person tent rather than against a bivy bag. That is the shelf this actually sits on.
The American Amazon store returned nothing, so the buy link opens a local search rather than a page that is not there.
Every figure here is what Keepa held on the day this page was last revised. Offers and prices shift without warning.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.

The listing calls it both — a bivy tent and a bivy bag — and describes a two-pole aluminum frame, a mesh door and a 61 cm (24 in) height. Read the figures rather than the name: at 215 × 75 × 61 cm (84.6 × 29.5 × 24 in) pitched and 45 × 13 × 13 cm (17.7 × 5.1 × 5.1 in) packed, it behaves like a small tent, and it is priced and carried like one.
The maker attributes the figure to the outer flysheet. No figure is given for the floor, and on a shelter pitched directly on the ground that is the second number the hub asks for. It is absent.
No. Not published on the listing — a PU-coated flysheet is described, the fabric itself is not named. What the listing does publish instead is the construction: Two-pole aluminum frame, 215 × 75 cm (84.6 × 29.5 in) with a stated height of 61 cm (24 in), described as a one-person three-season shelter.
7.8/ 10
The only listing here to label its weight as a complete set, and one of the few to state sealed seams. It still names no fabric, and gives no breathability figure of any kind.
A solo pitch where head room and a sealed floor matter more than packing small.
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.
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.
≈ $84
Sleeping-bag cover · 3-layer Gore-Tex · polyamide face and lining, PTFE membrane · 243 cm (95.7 in) long, 98 cm (38.6 in) shoulder · central zip · no weight or packed size
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.
Best for: A winter sleeping bag that needs a long, wide cover and where the membrane name is the specification being bought.
