With all that strenuous pumping and faffing about I don't think I'd bother Lol..
I could fit a simple brollie tent bivvy up (and break it down) in half the time; plus I wouldn't have any guy ropes sticking out of the sides to trip over at night Lol.
Plus I wouldn't have to worry about getting any punctures (I suspect that some morons could get great enjoyment with their baiting needles Lol).
It does look nice though; if you don't mind all that pumping. Lol.

I watched about 2 minutes and felt so tired I switched off. They used time lapse photography , it really took 3 weeks to pump up and when he had finished it was time to go home!

I saw the Kampa version demoed a few years back. It's more bivvy like than the one you've linked to and didn't take anywhere near as long to pump up. Whilst it appeared much better than I anticipated, it was rather expensive.
I've yet to see one actually being used on the bank.

I did cover these bivvies before.
They don't take that mush to pump up.
They withstand stronger winds than a normal bivvy, and are very strong.
Not what i would buy.
The blow up tents have been used for some time by Mountaineers, and have proved to be far better than other tents used in the past.
I think you will be seeing more of these on the bank side in the coming years.

Excellent.
I shall be ordering a bulk supply of darts in preparation and the first bivvy rat to cast across my swim...
