Better than traditional tent set up and excellent for backpacking
Better than traditional tent set up and excellent for backpacking. My girlfriend and I used this set up for the first time last weekend for an overnight hike/camping trip and it was great. Of course it started raining before we got to the camp site but the tarp was easy to set up, and huge! There is plenty of room under this thing to navigate and cook outside of the tent but out of the rain. It was big enough for the two of us to snuggle and sleep as well without discomfort. Set up is super easy and is very light compared to other tents in this price range is a definite must. Can't wait to take it on longer hiking/camping trips.

I love Aqua Quest
We did a 4 day kayak trip in the back country on one of our biggest lake 4 hour paddle to the island last 3 hours poured rain the only gear that was dry was mine (i use only AQ switched over 100 %percent if they start making kayak's I'm buying one lmao) and this Bivy worked flawless even though this has a massive tarp I never leave home without my AQ defender tarp ever. Good thing after 2 day of rain my mates tents where water logged threw the good old defender up over their tents and the old girl saved the trip YET AGAIN for me AQ is simply the best after using it for years and years I say it works out to being almost a gift Thank you AQ for actually getting what you pay for.

Not bad at all if you don't mind setting up a tarp.
Not a bad purchase if you are comfortable with setting up a tarp as opposed to a tightly fitting rain fly. It is light, easily adjustable, very breathable, and effective at keeping bugs out. The floor is also quite durable. However, if you are not used to setting up a tarp for water or wind protection, you may find this product more inconvenient than a single one man tent.Another added bonus to this product, in my opinion, is that the bivy is quite large when set up. You can fit two people in a bivy like this no problem. So for how light and affordable it is, I'll give it 4 stars. This would be a 5 star purchase if it came with a more tightly fitting fly.Also, I would only recommend use of this product in good summer or early fall conditions. I do not think this would be an ideal product to use in the winter or early spring.
