I'm not familiar with the WM bag but the spec' does look similar to the Minim 500.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Big Kevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718421848578901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484417020188355498.post-42368817860841354602009-09-06T12:26:19.719+01:002009-09-06T12:26:19.719+01:00Thanks a lot for your immediate answer!

If the bivi is longer than TN desribes it, I'm still hoping... ;-)<br />Could you be so kind and check if the width is also wider than the stated 75cm?<br />I found only limited information on the PHD Minim 500 - is it somewhat comparable to a Western Mountaineering Apache SMF (-10°C rated bag with about 550g down fill and 15cm loft)?Jensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484417020188355498.post-86138325486997016522009-09-06T11:20:53.626+01:002009-09-06T11:20:53.626+01:00Hey Jen,
Welcome & thanks for the kind words....Hey Jen,<br /><br />Welcome & thanks for the kind words.<br /><br />I've used the Moonlite 3 times now, each time in a single skin shelter, with both down & synthetic bags. Not had a problem yet. There was a wee bit of condensation inside the bag but nothing to write home about and certainly nothing that would compromise the insulation.<br /><br />Mine measures up at 210cm.

Are you still satisfied with breathability and waterpoofness?<br /><br />Is it really only 200cm long? That seems quite short to me...<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any information!<br />JensJensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484417020188355498.post-14563954868910639582009-05-17T13:35:00.000+01:002009-05-17T13:35:00.000+01:00Hi Dave.

Very well indeed. 2 nights in a damp single skin tent and my sleeping bag was bone dry.<br /><br />For a planned bivvy? Aye, I would if the weather was going to be ok and I could be confident of a reasonably soft bit of ground. But I'd make sure I had a full-length mat and a wee tarp for the head end.<br /><br /Big Kevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718421848578901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484417020188355498.post-38985575708847761142009-05-16T20:30:00.000+01:002009-05-16T20:30:00.000+01:00Late to the party as usual I just stumbled across ...Late to the party as usual I just stumbled across this today. You been out in this thing yet? Find it hard to believe that a bag at this weight could be "waterproof" as they claim. What's your verdict?Dave Hanlonhttp://armchair-adventurer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
