I just finished my first Bivy. Weight: 6.8 oz. A few photos. I like the brown Momentum from Thru-Hiker more than I thought I would.

Any mesh or attachment point to keep it off your face?

Matt,
There is an attachment to pull the bivy up off my face. I'll take more pictures tomorrow. As for mesh/netting: I sleep mostly on my back and I wear a ball cap. I plan to just tuck a scrap of netting into the bivy and drape it over my head allowing the hat to keep it off my face. If that doesn't work then I will add an attachment point to the netting as well.
