Apologies a plenty from Cyprinus this morning, appears that they were told the Typhoon would fit the V2 Bivvy when in fact it fits the V2 Air. To be fair to them they have said they will refund my return postage costs which is fair enough.

There is currently no cap-wrap available from Cyprinus that will fit the standard Tempest V2 bivvy system properly, as i have found out to my frustration.... .....hopefully they will be changing their website as others will no doubt fall foul of the same issue.

Hmmm,, wonder if the green one comes up slightly different to the DPM Rip stop....that was a good 6 inches away from the ground on all sides with the bivvy up and tension strap fitted....

The colour is a good match too practically the same as my bivvy. I thought it was a couple of inches short at first but looking at the trakker video on them,they are slightly shorter too so this is probably about right where they fit.

Friends just got one for his V2 and said it was short by four inches. I may take it off his hands as it probably will fit my Nylon MB. and possibly my Advanced 100 bivvy?

I'll be honest I'm sat in my tempest 100t ok the bank while I right this, got my skull wrap on (the proper Trakker version) mine is still about 3/4 inches from the ground, I am in a very uneven peg tho but I don't actually think they are meant to go right to the floor bud

That's certainly a better fit than the DPM one I ordered....there was no way I could have got a peg into the ground on that one!

Yeah the Trakker ones do come up slightly short as well....like you say, think they are supposed to be like that for some reason... ....the Cyprinus one though was a good 6 inches short.

Matt did you have the storm poles fitted to your bivvy when you tried the cap wrap?

Probably not the same but 2 of my mates have the Sonik AXS bivvys and both bought the winter wraps for them. One of them tried it but said it's doesn't fit at all. My other mate tried his and it fitted fine, turned out my first mate had the storm poles fitted and had effectively jacked the front of the bivvy up so the wrap wouldn't fit, the other mate had the poles set at an angle and the wrap fitted perfectly

That's probably not the case with yours and they just don't fit 😂😂

I didn't Greg, just had the bivvy, (no front) with the tension strap fitted to give it a proper shape...

has anyone managed to get hold of an advanced 100 skull cap wrap and paired it up with a v2 bivvy system? What's the fit like.
Are you sure?
