Just how cold was it when you used it? The SOL bivvy has always seemed to be nothing more than a glorified space blanket or sleeping bag liner. I can't picture it offering much in the way of warmth all by itself.

I pictured using one to line my MSS patrol bag when it's too cold for the patrol bag by itself (say down to the low 30s). Should add maybe 10* of warmth.
