Rain is rarely the problem; your own moisture usually is · review
The one hooped bivy here with poles in the box — it publishes a water column, a breathability number and six ground loops, and names no test for the number.
An olive hooped bivy in a 3-layer laminate, stated to pitch at 235 × 70/95 × 45 cm (17.7 in) with its poles, with a 10,000 mm (393.7 in) water column, a 3,000 mvp breathability figure, an integrated mosquito net, a two-way zip at the side and head, six ground attachment loops, mat loops for mats up to 60 cm (23.6 in) wide, a 35 × 13 × 13 cm (13.8 × 5.1 × 5.1 in) packed size and a weight of approximately 1.4 kg (3.1 lb).
The maker states this can be used as a standalone bivy shelter or as a cover over a sleeping bag. The pole gives 45 cm (17.7 in) over the head end, and the mosquito net makes it usable open on a warm night. That is the case for a hoop, and the listing makes it with figures rather than adjectives.
10,000 mm of water column, and 3,000 mvp of breathability. Publishing both is more than most of this hub manages. What is missing is the test behind the second — no standard, no conditions — so the number stands alone.
No denier, no seam treatment, and one weight figure with nothing said about what it covers. On a shelter with poles and six pegging points, an unlabelled weight is the least useful kind.
Check the mat loop figure against your own mat: 60 cm (23.6 in) is the stated limit, and a wider mat will not sit in them.
The American Amazon catalog lists it with no seller standing behind the entry.

The maker states pitched dimensions of 235 × 70/95 × 45 cm (17.7 in), so the pole holds 45 cm (17.7 in) of height over the head end. That is the difference between fabric on your face and room to read, and it is what the extra weight and packed bulk buy. The hub intro puts it the same way.
The listing does not say. It gives one number alongside a packed size, and a hooped bivy has a canopy, a pole set and six ground loops that want pegging. That is exactly the unlabelled weight this site flags rather than resolves.
No. Not published on the listing. What the listing does publish instead is the construction: Hooped, with poles supplied; 235 × 70/95 × 45 cm (17.7 in) pitched, six ground attachment loops and mat loops for mats up to 60 cm (23.6 in) wide — stated.
7.8/ 10
The most complete shelter in this hub on paper — a hoop, a water column, a mosquito net and six ground loops — with an unlabelled weight and a breathability number that names no test.
A one-person pitch where the head space of a hoop is wanted and a tent is not.
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.

Best for: A cover bought for cut and closure rather than for weight, over a bulky synthetic sleeping bag.
