I Sleep in a bivvy bag quite a lot,even done it in Winter.(people think i'm stange :lol )
Mine has a built in mosquito net in the head opening,a major plus.
Adding a basha completely spoils it for for me :b now't like waking up in a cornfield as dawn starts to break ...cup of T & a fag & 5mins later you can be on your way.
They're actually warmer than a tent IMO, less space to heat.
Maybe not the best for touring, one slight technical hitch ~when it rains you have to lie on your stomach or get a wet face, guess that's why whimpy types pack a basha
If you KNOW it's gona be wet, like Scotland or something, take a tent, if your in with a chance of dryish weather why not give it a try, you might enjoy it.
Ps i also have a one man tent (a.k.a 'the coffin') & a two man, but 9x outa 10 i'd pack the bivvy.
