Thinking about dropping the bomb-proof but heavy event bivy this year for an ultralight, but that means no more getting by with a tiny tarp anymore.

I'd be careful with a full cuben bivy, even with breathable top I end up with toebox condensation often. If buying again I see no reason to spend extra for ti goat over borah

With a breathable or mesh top ( mine is both) I don't see how the bottom would dictate condensation or not, wether it's cuben, silnylon, etc. Cuben is 100 percent waterproof so it won't allow any ground moisture to seep through, warm with your body temp and then condense, so any (most) condensation in a cuben bivy will be from your body moisture and then you just will be relying on your quilt/bag and the top breathable (hopefully) layer of the bivy to release the moisture. That's my understanding of it all, which could be completely wrong.correct, i missed you had breathable top. thought it was full cuben.
i rarely zip my bivy past my waist, and the footbox still has trouble with moving my body moisture out

Gotcha, a full cuben bivy would be horrible!! :chuckle:
I do the same and leave the top, from head to waist uncovered unless the bugs are out.
My foot box has a tie off that allows me to pull the bivy up, tie to a trekking/tarp pole and keeps the top of the bivy up off my feet and create a nice vapor barrier down there. I haven't been in the bivy much at all yet but the few times I have I haven't noticed any condensation down there. Next time you're in yours see if you can rig it up off of you bag at the footbox and see if there is a difference.
