I don't think a Bibler would be the best choice for kayak camping. They are designed primarily for mountaineering and are made of a proprietary waterproof/breathable fabric (much like Gore-Tex) that depends on a temperature differential to expel moisture. Venting is an absolute must if you don't want to wake up in a puddle. I have used one in the mountains of South America. Worked like a charm at high altitude but suffered severe condensation at lower altitudes (warmer and higher humidity). On the upside, you can just crawl in and setup from within the tent. The single wall makes for a very light shelter. Excellent workmanship and bomb-proof design also. Cheers, Kerry -- Kerry Doubleday Halifax, N.S.
