>>2513945They're super light. BUT the lid is pretty loud when you undo it because it's metal on metal. That said, if you're out in freezing temperatures then the bottle won't crack + you can just boil the water straight from it. It's worth it for the weight and durability but other then that just stick with a Nalgene Oasis one. I love the canteen cup however (lid included - saves time boiling water). I just stick my Nalgene Oasis canteen into the titanium cup when I go backpacking/camping. I would say it's "sort of" worth it
>>2513943Haven't used it during snow, only used it during heavy rainfall. Kept me dry (with a groundsheet - that's a must have) with little to no condensation. Really cozy and all. This guy did a review on a different Carinthia bivy (same materials and all), talks about condensation and what not, skip to: 6:55 in the video

Said that myself earlier but the majority of people on /out don't understand that Gore-Tex is just a brand name that produces all sorts of materials for all spectrums of activities. So Gore-Tex in itself varies heavily. No, a used US army Gore-TEx bivvy bag for $20 is not on the same level as someone thought previously nor are the British Army ones. All three are different in terms of materials even though they are all under the brand name of "Gore-Tex".
