RAB RIDGE RAIDER £330

This spacious hooped bivvy (1kg) offers reassuringly resilient protection from wind and rain. A single, prebent pole slides into a sleeve, creating a 60cm-high arch around the head. Eight stakes and two guylines provide good structure to the tunnel shape, and the eVent DValpine fabric (3-layer, 40-denier) has an impressive 20,000mm HH and good breathability. VERDICT A premium hooped bivvy with spacious headroom and excellent waterproofing.
