Really pleased, essentially as new but just has a name written on the tag. Already been out in it, substantially better than the Alpkit bag it replaced.

Bikepacking: Did what is says really well. Expect a little (very tolerable) internal condensation if you have not used a bivi bag before. Also if you put a plastic sheet under to protect against sharp objects on the ground, you'll get lots of water between the two come morning. 3cm self inflating mat and medium sleeping bag fitted inside fine & I just covered paniers and loose kit with waterproof draw string outside the bivi.

As others purchasers have said, was really impressed with the quality and lack of wear on this item, the fast delivery and helpful customer service. I can't wait to give it a go, and my friend was equally impressed and asked me to order one the next day on their behalf (bit big for the letterbox!).

Absolutely wonderful! Plenty of room, dry, I really appreciate the belts that hold the mattress.

Delivered in good time and well packaged. The bivvy was in perfect condition and looked pretty much unused. I'm using this as part of a challenge to see how long I can sleep outdoors. One month so far just under a poncho with a sleeping bag, now I have the means to push it further! Not a massive test yet as we've had only a couple of showers, but I have been pleasantly surprised with the added warmth and wind protection. Will be taking it for a serious test later on in the year, but I believe that it'll perform well even if I have to use a tarp for extra protection.

Good service and quick delivery. The Dutch Army hooped bivvy is one of the best out there. The DPM makes it discreet and it's very robust and properly waterproof. It has a mossie net and side zip, so entry and exit are easy, unlike the clamshell designs, and it's long enough for me to keep my small rucksack inside at the foot end.

Brilliant, very low profile bivvy. Not very small but easy to pack. I've used an old/ larger sleeping bag stuff sack. Slept in it the first night and it rained at 4am. When I got out sonecwater had pooled on the bottom but inside was dry. Yes this is low profile and not for anyone who is claustrophobic.
