I don't use a bivy but I thought about one hard and heavy.
I planned to use a  ground cloth so that I would have someplace
to stand to get dressed/ undressed.  Sort of a 'clean room' to keep
debris from the nside.  When I actually tried a bivy, a preview
North Face hooped bivy, I freaked before I could actually zip
it closed.  Just too claustaphobic for me.  Lots of folks on the
list use them though.  But try before ya buy<G>.
