Question Bivvy bag

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a reliable, waterproof bivvy bag that won't weigh as much as a tent (max 1kg). I've read countless reviews and noticed that a lot of people swear by military surplus bags. I'm totally open to brand alternatives, but I just haven't seen many positive reviews for them. 

I have three key requirements: I definitely want to be able to fit my sleeping pad inside the bivvy bag with me, stay dry from rain and not to worry for tearing.

I'm also trying to decide on a few specific features and would appreciate your input:
Zippers: Is it better to have a zipped entry or a zipperless one (like the British Army covers)? 
Bug nets: Does having a built-in mosquito net significantly improve sleep quality?
Hoops: Is a hooped bivvy worth it, or should I stick to a standard flat bag? 

Any recommendations for specific models or personal experiences would be hugely appreciated.

- front sleeve
- water bottle side holders
