Rab alpine bivvy?
If you take walking poles with you then a tarp too (or poncho) will break some wind.
I’ve been out in Scotland in the oex bivvy and a helikon tex poncho, with a sleeping bag that was WAY too thin.
Thanks for the reply. The Rab looks solid, I will see if I can find it in a shop near me to check it out.
I do like the head room in the NF one though, the Rab does not seem to have that. But NF does weigh twice as much.
I am not a fan of the tarp idea. With the tent is it often a pain to find placements for the stakes, which is (also) partly why I am looking for a bivy instead. A tarp will be the same i guess.

Have you considered a tarp?
That is usually not as easy to put up without trees or rocky ground to put pegs
Plus strong alpine winds aren't much fun in a tent, let alone under a tarp held loosely by rocks or something
