Very easy to setup and take down. Would like to try it in the rain but so far very good quality product.

The first time I found the Observer Plus online I found it genuinely funny that there could be a bivvy bag priced this high. Over time, curiosity got the better of me and I investigated further. Whilst it's still really pricy for a bivvy, it kind of makes sense when you think about how expensive GoreTex jackets are - this is much more material and, so far throughout my testing at least, it has indeed remained not only really breathable but completely waterproof (unlike the overwhelming majority of bivvies). It turns out, this thing has exceeded every expectation I had and I couldn't be happier with it. It's deceptively roomy inside (again, for a bivvy) and me, my fairly small dog and my 50L pack can fit inside on a rainy night without any of us even touching each other. The ventilation is phenomenal and it feels infinitely less claustrophobic than other bivvies I've used, and so far it has held up to any rain it's experienced. I haven't had a chance to use it in cold weather yet but am looking forward to doing so. Yes, it's heavier than many lightweight tents despite the lack of space... but it's insanely durable and will last you a lifetime if you look after it, plus you can pitch it just about anywhere in a heartbeat. Setup and packing up are bizarrely quick and easy. All things considered, this is the most incredibly versatile and useful little shelter I've ever tried and I am head over heels in love with it. I'd also like to give a huge thankyou to Vaaruste, as their pricing was good and the item arrived way quicker than I had expected. Not a single complaint about the product or seller and I MASSIVELY recommend both :-)
