Hi
Any recommendations for bivvys that have the option of buying the inner capsule?
Do they eliminate drafts or are they simply mesh to keep the bugs out?
Cheers

Trakker slx v3 (incl inner dome), Trakker Armo V4 (separate inner dome)
I have the slx V3 plus we slept in it with 4 (2 adults / 2 children) zero condensation, also had a night with a lot of rain, bivvy was completely dry inside.

I have the trakker slx v3 and the Armo v4 both with inner capsules and they are brilliant. Fished in heavy rain and not leaked at all. Plus no condensation!
Well, there is condensation guys. Its just on the other side of the mesh.

Personally wouldn't now buy a bivvy without one
Cosy warm and keeps the bugs and any water our incl any condensation too.
T2 awesome 😎

Currently sat in my Fox R Series 1 man xl which has an inner mesh capsule which has its own zip in groundsheet along with the HD one that comes with the bivvy.

Just bought a Tian T1 Camo and outer skin that just be half decent
Definitely doesn't stop condensation it just isn't dripping on you because of the mesh but it's still in there
What's the obsession with condensation...... 
My slx v3 plus is always completely dry after a night on the inside, , there is only condensation on the outer mesh but the inner capsule is 100% dry
My obsession with condesation, I go fishing 2/4 nights / week, the last thing you want is moisture dripping on you, I also take immunosuppressant medication so I can definitely miss condensation on colder nights like the plague

A genuine winterskin also helps with condensation plus has the benefit of doubling the protection against the elements. Protects the main bivvy from wind and sun damage etc.
I have a capsule which I use in winter but never have the door closed on it. It just feels warmer with it. It probably isn't warmer but in my head it is. It also stops the odd drip but to be honest mostly all the condensation runs instead of dripping.
Trakker SLX V3.
