That bag seems like too high of a temp rating, check out the Marmot Helium, 800+ down, 15 degrees, barelay over a pound, samller than a loaf of bread, badass. That bivy is a POS, those Nemo go-go, granted I haven't used one, but the main support 'pole' is an inflatable tube, totally worthless when you get a hole in it, really ruin your day if you're in the 'stan. Check out instead the Outdoor Research Advanced Bivy Sack, a full gortex tough as nails bivy. Its like your own little FOB. Let me know what you think but I love the ideal they are looking into the civilian backpacking community for gear, there are a lot of high quality items. Just watch out for gimmicks, like inflatable poles.
