I really dig these gear reviews and overall educational videos but sometimes I'm curious as to what the designers are thinking. I mean, you have a bivy sack (waterproof/breathable materials, taped seams, high ducat engineering) designed to keep your bag dry, essentially you as well, from moisture and rain, so why put a zipper on the top w/ no flap or anything to deter H2O? That just seems recockulous to me but it's just my 2 cents. All gravy.
