I have been calling all local tackle shops and checking websites for a couple of weeks trying to get a groundsheet and infill panel for my tempest 100T brolly but they are never in stock, only the mozzi panel available.
Does anyone on the off chance know where I can possibly grab these?
Thankyou

Are they due back in stock, or discontinued?
COVID has really f*cked the supply chain from China - all tackle companies are suffering. If its due back in stock then be patient - I imagine it will be sorted given time.

Ring around the different angling direct stores one of them will more than likely have the bits or even ring around loads of tackle shops

There was a few for sale a couple weeks ago, I remember seeing them and forwarded it to a mate. They went very quickly though and was gone within a day. Just keep a eye out bud then they will come back in at some point

They aren't discontinued just seem to be a lack of supply,
Some shops allow you to ‘pre order' but this doesn't give you any clues to when it will be back in stock which seems pointless to me, could be months and months..

I was looking and ringing around a month or so ago I liked the extra size of the T100, I had the V2 previously and liked the principle of it but a bit of a hobbits hide out on my back so got rid, I gave up looking in the end it seems there's a few shelters available but all the add ons out of stock everywhere, what happened to the days of buying a bivvy with a front and groundsheet as a minimum in one package that you can then strip out if you wanted, the new format of buying piecemeal to suit your needs is obviously a difficult process for the manufacturers to work out how many of each item to have shipped in at one time when releasing the products.
Went with a Pioneer 100 in the end although the skullcaps/skins for these are out of stock everywhere but spoke to Aqua and they are due in in May hopefully, albeit the new EV material it will still fit just no DPM or plans for it so bought the standard green, at least the zip in panel and groundsheet come with it should you want to use them.

all companies are struggling with getting stock, that's the trouble with getting stuff made in china, I spoke with trakker the other week and they are struggling to get stuff made.

It would be a silver lining if all this COVID crap actually drove company's like Trakker to consider UK manufacturing again.

It's the same footprint as the V2, so same groundsheet. Front obviously different.

Thinking of changing to the 100T, what's everyone's experiences of it, good and bad?

Isnt the footprint the same as most tempests?? I would check the website for actual item codes as i believe the groundsheet from other versions would fit.

Its a decent shelter mate, Only notable downside is with the extra height you obviously have more material so its a bit cumbersome to pack up if you leave the front on and the skull cap, especially if its wet . I just leave the front on all the time and put the skull cap on if im staying put for a bit or its raining it then fits ok into the bag provided. but the extra height makes it the best shelter ive used. the material is thin so it dont make it too heavy , grreat design, not had any issues other than a bent pole which was probably user error.

I've just started using one . I like it a lot and sold my v2 brolly to get it. It's not that much more of a ball ache to pack down and is far out weighed by the extra height advantage. I also managed to source and infill for it . The v2 brolly has the same footprint so I kept the groundsheet for it and will use it for the 100t

I've been using one for about 6 months now. The extra height is a bit excessive but as stated it doesn't impact packing away as i've had nearly all the brolly versions and haven't noticed a difference. I do have the skull cap wrap on it though so that's packed separately so not tried with just a skull cap on. I thought the composite was just as good and had loads of height and i'm 6ft 2in but didn't come with vents so moved it on. Mine just had a test in winds up to 60 mph the last few days and other than losing a peg on the front of the wrap it was ok. I found the peg 15 yds behind me stuck in the bank like a dart!!!!

I think my mate picked one up from the tackle box recently

It does look high, but that appeals to me (as well as no spokes inside) as currently use a Nash Groundhog brolly which I have to get down to waist height generally to get in or out of.
Little bit of a hack for you guys not liking the extra height the 100T gives, (something in-between the two brolly models would have been perfect...).
Obviously if you aren't using a groundsheet you can peg it out a bit wider thus lowering the shelter but if you want to use a groundsheet and can get hold of one then use one from a Tempest V2 which was 20cm wider, you have to fold it under at the back but that extra width drops the front of the 100T but you can still use the infil panels with no problem...
