I had the Quest 2 man, and was happy with it's quality albeit a little on the small side.
They are pretty good value

does look good, especially for the money.

Far too big for me though. it would be nice if someone produced one of these type shelters in a smaller size - given the supposed space saving (or more like creating) - it would be nice to have something like this in a 50 inch brolly size.

I certainly like the prices even the Skull cap is only going to be £55 to £65
and the groundsheet is not an add extra cost as its included
and the front is not an add on extra as its included

unLike the Nash and Trakker offerings that bang the price right up to pull yer pants down prices

Errrrr.....

the Bloxx in that photo looks bigger that would suit me. wouldn't fit in most of the swims i fish

You also conveniently missed quoting the part of my message that said 'about the same size as a 50inch brolly'

I just mean something using the tempest/pioneer (plus others) type 'technology' (i use that word loosely) in a shelter the size of a 50 inch brolly (ie giving more room internally due to the external ribs) but still the same foot print.

Chill out dude I was only messing . The footprint of that Bloxx Compact is actually really small I've just bought a 2.5m wavelock brolly for my barbel fishing (2.5m = 50 inch in old money?), that thing is sodding huge! (and heavy )

Ha! no problem mate.

My other bug bear (while i am at it ) is photos of bivvies with bed chairs in without saying what sort it is (massive, standard, compact etc).

I've actually put got an excel sheet with W/D/H and weight of different shelters - sad

Sorry - taken this off thread....

though if anyone is making a tempest with a removable front, no vents, about 230cm wide, 170cm deep and about 110cm high and about 3.5 kg, happy to field test.

- Price TBC however looking to be around £249.99. As always we will try to keep it down as much as possible (that's our philosophy😁
This includes everything including groundsheet zip off front, vapour shield, clear window and storm poles.

- DPM version - we are working as hard as we can to get them in ASAP. Looking to be approx 12 weeks. Could be less depending on the manufacturing of the material🤞
- DPM Price TBC however looking to be around £299.99-£329.99. This included everthing including vapour shield, clear window and storm poles. If sold through the tackle shops would be more than twice the price!

- Skull cap is an optional extra 😀 Price around £55-65.

not really this is one of the new bigger higher shelters ???
I think there are only 2 shelters that you can compare thats the Nash Hide XL and the Trakker Tempest 100T


and of the 3 its the only one that you dont have to spend over a £100 extra to bring it up to the same specs as the Quest
IE buying a groundsheet and a zip on front

Ok, so the DPM is twice as waterproof as the Green? Does that matter? Will 10000 cope with the British weather? I don't much like anything camo/ action man colour.

Yes mate 10,000 is more than enough. To be waterproof I think it has to be 1000HH or something like that.

10,000 means something like it can hold 10mm volume of water ontop of the material which would never happen Unless you let it pool up from putting it up wrong.

lol Sorry mate but your a very big man so it sounds just perfect for you

and Warchild
we are not all the same and quite clearly there is an ever increasing market for taller shelters OK not every ones cup of tea for sure but its in the Thread title 150cm !!!!

And lets have a reality check here currently people THAT DO WANT a non pram hood 150cm fast erect shelter the choice is bloody limited in comparison as far as I know there are only 3 or possibly 4 to choose from
( despite people posting up inaccuracy`s ) versus F*** knows how many low ones

Agree, i have only found 4 that state 150cm. The quest, pioneer 150 and tempest 150 (actually 145) and the 100T. In reality though, the quest door opening is 135-140 (I asked quest) and im assuming the same for the other 2 which i will measure at NAS. For us oldies with crocked backs and necks that door opening height is mighty important.

Not heard of Quest before as I don't really keep up with the tackle trade too much these days - would this be comparable to say Cyprinus in quality terms?

Whats the point of the skull cap thingy, is it really necessary, does it help with condensation or something?

I found a skull cap helps a lot with condensation on the roof section and just as useful when its in full sun it really helps to keep it cool as I found out last year in the extreme heat we had on a bank with no shelter 30c plus I never ever take mine off

as far as quality goes if you watch the video in the link I posted in this thread ( post 1 ) you will see the camo version has a 20,000 HH and the Green version 10,000 HH

And to put that in perspective Family Camping frame tents are often around 3000hh

and I have a 6 year old 5000hh bivvy thats never had the need for reproofing and its mainly used just for my winter fishing and bad weather
lots of folk seem to reproof bivvys completely unnecessarily ? maybe confusing heavy condensation with leaks

It goes up nice and quick, like the zip in groundsheet, overall a nice bivvy. Only thing to note is that the door height (measured vertically with the door rolled) up is 120cm and 130cm with it rolled down

Due to the shape the gap at the rear between bedchair and bivvy is bigger than expected so will have to rejig what goes where. With the rlx6 wide bedchair theres about 2 1/2 feet of free space between front of bedchair and door

I think I paid £299 for everything; Bivvy, groundsheet,front,clear window,pegs,skull cap, vapour shield and two storm poles( cam lock auger point).
I'm pretty happy with my purchase and not a major investment if it only lasts a few seasons.

All these add on extras. The Tempest is a great product. Like I have said a million times before. I love my V1 brolly.

I have been looking at the 100T to replace it but with all the extras it's just a bliming p#ss take.
I just can't justify that amount on a brolly system these days.

I think I will be looking at the new Wychwood brolly system this year at half the price.

I have lost the will to live when it comes to the Tempest. Brolly aside, it has to be the most confusing and over engineered range of shelters & accessories on the market .... I think Trakker has lost the plot with these and I just cant be arsed to try and figure it all out. For that reason alone If i wss looking to buy I would rather buy the Cyprinus or Quest versions.

I completely agree. Looking at it from a business perspective their marketing strategy is genius though. Modular systems make them the most money. People are wowed by the setup speed of the tempest (me included) & then buy the add-ons to make it into a fully bivvy. Factoring in the time to tension the skull cap right & there's probably 30 seconds difference to setting up a pram-hood. I personally wouldn't buy another.

I know exactly what you mean. Absolutely love my V1 but time to move on I think. I'm sure I can manage to go back to a brolly system no problem.

After all, I have spent the last thirty years under them with out a problem. Might even go back to a pram hood as you say. Not a huge amount of difference in putting up in the big scheme of things and once it's up, it's up.

I can pick both up for half the price of the 100T with all the added bits.

I bought the 100T last year and was very impressed with the setup speed. Its outrageous. And great for overnighters. Also excellent cover with no add ons.

However, where I really agree with you is the add ons. Start
Putting on skull cap wraps and infill panels you might as well buy a pramhood. Now they have utility fronts and wraps.

I will stick to my two man Cayman for that. Goes up in seconds.

Lets hope the quality is better than the smaller one, i had one and it was dire, went back for a refund. Now got the Cyprinus Typhoon MH and am very pleased with, the build quality is much better than the Quest i had, and feel it was cheap for a reason. Also i felt that the angle of the sloped front panel was too steep.

Just got one of this this week over the lake now and to be honest not to happy with it the dimension he states ain't correct my MK2 fox flatliner is touching the material either end he says it's 280 cm wide defiantly ain't that wide and as deep as he states either . The 2 caps the 2 top poles slot into puts a lot of strain on the stitching can't see it lasting long and the 2 storm poles I got with it the threads were no good in them one would only screw on a few turns on to the storm cap them lock up tight the other one would screw on a couple of mm and jam tried another set of storm poles and their fine . Gonna be taking the 30 day money back guarantee and getting a refund as don't want another one it's a same it weren't wider and deeper And different design on where the 2 top poles of in would be much better if it was made 40cm wider , 40cm deeper and I find the zip in front is angled to much which causes to lose space at the front
