Much more like a tent than either a bivy or a tarp.  Roomy, durable, easy 
pitch (2 or 3 stakes) and light at two pounds.  For me it worked wonderfully 
on the California section of the PCT, kept me dry on the four times I needed 
it, kept the bugs out the many times I needed it and held all my gear easily.

Great tent.  The negitives would be condensation, as in most single wall 
tents, but it never was a severe problem, and noisy in high winds.  

The pros easily beat the cons.  You learn to deal with them.
