KEPT ME WARM AND DAMP - BOMB PROOF AND I LIKE IT.

Only one layer required (no base layer or waterproof used.

Adjustable side ventilation is easy to reach and use.

Very warm and feels safe.

Longer tail keeps the seat dry/warm.
It does get wet, not sure how it would fair in an overnight situation after a day on the hills? Will it dry itself before I get too cold?

You have to be happy being damp and warm, it is not waterproof (nor do Buffalo claim this).

I think it will be noisy in high winds.

If you get a large size due to being a funny shape - it feels odd, a bit like wearing a Michelin suit.
An interesting concept that has had rave reviews already. However, I am not yet fully convinced on usage for a multi-day with overnight bivvy walking in constant wind and rain on the hills. Will it dry out itself and therefore not be extremely uncomfortable to the overnight user?

Time will tell, I have a few dates coming up and I will share the experience!

Sizing is important, too big and it feels a bit flappy.
