not sure if anyone else has tried it but today I fitted one of the trakker tempest advanced 100 cap wraps to my v2 bivvy system and it fits really well. Poles were a little tight to get in but that created nice tension across the peak with no sagging. All the seams lined up with frame and it pegged out nicely as well. Very pleased with it - I was contemplating getting the cheaper cyprinus version but am happy I paid out more for the trakker as it fits really well.

That's the one that Trakker say should fit so...

⛺️ TEMPEST BROLLY 100 SKULL CAP WRAP
Fits: Tempest Brolly V2, Tempest Brolly 100

⛺️ TEMPEST BROLLY 100T SKULL CAP WRAP
Fits: Tempest Brolly 100T

⛺️ TEMPEST BROLLY ADVANCED 100 SKULL CAP WRAP
Fits: Tempest Brolly Advanced 100

⛺️ TEMPEST ADVANCED 100 BIVVY SKULL CAP WRAP
Fits: Tempest Advanced 100 Bivvy, Tempest V2 Bivvy System


⛺️ TEMPEST ADVANCED 150 BIVVY SKULL CAP WRAP
Fits: Tempest Advanced 150 Bivvy, Tempest XL Bivvy System*

* Due to a difference in height between the old Tempest XL and the current Tempest 150 Advanced Bivvy, the Tempest Advanced 150 Bivvy Skull Cap Wrap WILL fit the old XL, however will require to be pegged-out slightly wider to compensate for the difference in height between the shelters.

After trying 2 of the Cyprinus Cap Wraps that they claimed fit the V2, (and none of them do, not properly anyway) I too ordered the Advanced 100 version and although I can't peg my bivvy out properly in my garden, (fake grass... ) I chucked it over and it appears to fit OK, little bit short maybe, (could probably do with another 3 inches or so) but thanks to the elastic pegging points it should peg out OK... ...

I did ask Army Andy if he could make the skirts a bit longer and re-attach the elastics but unfortunately it is not something he would want to take in....

Yeah was not sure that it would despite what Trakker said due to slight size difference between the v2 and advanced 100 - so just wanted to confirm that it does in case anyone else wasn't sure 👍

Don't you just hook the ties over the bivvy pegs already in place or are you say it's too short to do that?

Would you agree Paul it is a little short...?

Having said that, if you look at the Trakker videos/pictures they all appear to come up a bit short....so maybe that's just how they are....

From what I've seen that's just how they are meant to be bud

Yeah mines like the Trakker photos. I assume it's so that air can flow between the wrap and bivvy. I was expecting a gap but at no point did I think it was too short that it would put too much pressure on the pegging points. I did take some photos but no idea how to post them on here 😂
Are you sure?
