Forgive my ignorance but how do you use a bivvy? Do you just slip into it and zip yourself inside like a caterpiller? or is it like a sort of over the head sleeping bag with a little tent pole at one end.
I'm riding a few thousand miles through SE Asia this year and although I'll plump for sleeping in homestays and hotels all the way I would like to take a 'bivvy' in case I find myself in the middle of nowhere with night closing in. (it happened to me before in Vietnam on the Ho Chi Min trail and I spent the night awake round my small fire sipping from a bottle of whisky until the sun came up -not fun)
