Hi there.
I'm looking for some advice from TS users about a bivvy to use under a TS.
I'm currently using my old alpkit hunka which is OK for overnight use but doesn't really breathe well enough for multi night use with a down bag.
I was interested in Martin Rye's comment on Matt Holland's borah gear bivvy review. Martin suggests that so long as you have a groundsheet then the silnet/cuben bottom on the MLD and bora bivvies isn't necessary and using a more breathable material on the base would be a better bet.
I'm thinking do I buy one of the above or do I myog using a more breathable fabric top and bottom?
What advice would the more experienced TS users amongst you give?
If taking the myog route what would be the best fabric to give high breatheability, enough water resistance, and enough strength for use on the bottom?
Sleeping mat could be inside or outside the bivvy as I'm using a groundsheet - may impact the fabric choice for the bottom.
