well I hear what your saying

but ! ?? on my Tempest bivvy with my skull cap on 2 things happen 1 INSIDE my bivvy I only get condensation on the sides never on the roof !
2 when I pack up I loosen the skull straps and check for damp or wet its extremely rare for it to be wet but I flap it over and 3 mins with the sports towel sorts any damp

Im paranoid after my Aqualite bivvy that had only seen the bank about 6 times as I had a few bivvies and I loaned it to a mate who failed to mention he had packed up in the rain well it was over a year in my shed when someone was looking for one so I sold it to him I never even took it out the bag after all it was really like new he was on the phone next day that bivvy has had it I put it up in the garden and its like used durex hanging down everywhere ?? it had completely delaminated
so you can see I am really aware of just what damp can do and I know of the big problems SOME folk are definitely having with these Vapour shields as the damp is HIDDEN on the INSIDE of the bivvy

I really should not be trying to suggest the reasons reasons as my logic may be flawed but there is fook all wrong with my eyes !!!

my post is intended to TRY !!!!!!!!!!
and help people realise and check this potentially damaging condition I DONT really give a fook about arguing when Im just trying to help people there is an old saying you can lead a horse to water but you cant make the **** drink
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
