The kit that was tested and the meteor shower I couldn't see.

On another point, we missed the meteor shower too due to heavy showers. I got up at about 0300 and got rained on so went straight back to my hammock and slept through till well past dawn. :)

uhh probably not - I like tents too.

for the changing parts

Bivi and Tarp - 1140g - less bulky, adaptable, needs to be set up

Tent - 1.5kg (ish - slightly more i think) - bulkier, not adaptable, stands alone

Many variables to consider... you'd be really borlorxed if your atko ripped or the pole got damaged or something... however you could get by with half your tarp, or no tarp and just your bivi bag, if you had to. However the atko would almost certainly be far more comfortable if you were waiting out some seriously bad weather...

One thing I did like was that I didn't have any condensation...
