I searched around for different opinions, and I think the general agreement is people don't like these bivy's because they are too small.
Just wanted to provide my own small review, I actually like it.
Used it a few times, once in the rain this spring. I was able to change clothes inside of it (not easy, but definitely not impossible) and being over six feet tall, that's something I was leery of. Was also able to pack up my sleeping bag while inside. It's incredibly lightweight which I guess is the main draw.
eVent is great, definitely better than my BD Lightsabre bivy. That thing had serious water issues. You still get dampness on your bag after a night of rain, something I'm not too thrilled about.
The design is also very solid in high winds. Being so low to the ground helps in that case.
This is the 2010 model, and I am pretty pleased. The external poles make it easier to set up. Although to be honest they have pretty amazing ultralight tents that I kind of wish i had tried as well.
