Each to their own, but with the door zipped up tight how do you see or hear anything that's going on?

Obvious answer for me is on a longer session to give you more space, plenty of times I have used an overwrap in the summer to give more space on longer session or French trips, and vents on the overwrap and bivvy have been opened,

Got another niggle with Fox, why do they make the bag for the vapour peak such a snug fit? You've got to be an origami ninja to get the thing back in the bloody bag. It's just penny pinching to the extreme

That's what I have done, it's just annoying that they've gone to the trouble of making a bag but its useless once you've taken the peak out.

Just leave the vapour peak on. No problems at all when packing down

Thanks, useful to know but I do like to take it off to check everything is dry underneath

Do you leave the 3 front pegs in place or disconnect them.

Undo the side velcros so they are only just connected. Take out the front 3 pegs and fold back over the centre. Release centre arm then the 2 outers from the boss. Fold carefully as normal
Exactly the same way you fold a Tempest with a skull cap attached
