The Zephyr is great.  It weighs hardly more than a bivvy but is long as
Sandy says.  Plus you can sit up in it without ducking your head.

My only objection is that it is so-so for commando camping.  The top fly
is okay, a grey.  But there are some purple color panels and the the tub
portion at the bottom is also purple.  I guess it probably wouldn't be
seen but I wish it were duller in color.

Oh yes freestanding which is nice.
