MFH Hooped Bivy with poles, 10,000 mm stated 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.
The bottom line 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.
What this listing puts on record
An olive hooped bivy in a 3-layer laminate, stated to pitch at 235 × 70/95 × 45 cm with its poles, with a 10,000 mm 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 wide, a 35 × 13 × 13 cm packed size and a weight of approximately 1.4 kg.
Hooped rather than flat
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 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.
The two figures to read together
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.
What the listing keeps quiet about
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.
Before ordering
Check the mat loop figure against your own mat: 60 cm is the stated limit, and a wider mat will not sit in them.

What it does well, and where it gives way
Strengths
A hoop and poles are supplied, and the pitched dimensions are published as 235 × 70/95 × 45 cm
Publishes a water column and a breathability figure together, and names six ground attachment loops
The mat loops are given a width — up to 60 cm — which is the figure that decides whether your mat stays under you
Compromises
The breathability figure names no test, so it can only be compared with a figure quoted the same way
One weight figure with no label, on a product that has a canopy, poles and pegs to account for
No denier and no seam treatment stated, on the bag in this hub most likely to be pitched on bare ground

What people ask before buying
What does the hoop change?
The maker states pitched dimensions of 235 × 70/95 × 45 cm, so the pole holds 45 cm 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.
Does the 1.4 kg figure include the poles?
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.
