Re: Bivvy

If it is single skin, you will get condensation, due to there is no air cap to reduce the condensation. i would try for a twin skin. if you are using this in the summer months i wouldn't worry to much as i have a single skin i use for summer months and tend to leave the front open which gives me plenty of air flow.

Hope this helps, Steve

Re: Bivvy

you may get away with it if you are able to unzip the door from the top both sides to leave some ventilation. I use a single skin all year and find this helps reduce alot of it whilst keeping out the worst weather but as mentioned when possible leave the door off and itll be fine
