The 150 will be a 2-man sized shelter. The 100 Trakker/Aqua have started using mean 1-man so guessing the 150 is the 2-man sizing

Yep. I reckon your right there. Been seeing more and more XL Hides out on the bank this year.
I have been banging on all this year about how all the Tempests are too low and for hobbits only. In fact I think all the Trakker range of one man bivvies are far too low.
My V1 brolly has slaughted my back over the last five years but it's such a great peice of kit. I have stuck with it.
I will be investing in a new brolly/bivvy next year and I will be interested to see the specs of these new ones. ie the hight.
Any idea when they will be on sale?

As someone that suffers big style with their back (joys of Multiple Sclerosis & degenerative disc disease in cervical and sacral/sacrum spine, & also being 6' tall, if the Tempest Brolly was too low with either groundsheet or tension strap fitted, I think I would be one of the most affected by it. No such problems sitting bolt upright on a Solar SP C-Tech bedchair without head touching the roof nor the zip on front skirt getting in my eye line. I have no idea where these issues are coming from unless having legs extended fully on bedchair so feet are swinging freely or having an exceedingly long body & neck! The normal Tempest system with the groundsheet or tension strap fitted, gives massive head room (100mm more than the Brolly).
The Hide XL has a height of 152cm but the front comes down a good 15cm so the top of the door will be the same as a Tempest! How is that going to help with the viewing area? You have to hunch over to get the full field of view in the Hide XL.
Strange how the "Cyprinus" Typhoon has the exact same HEIGHT dimension as the Tempest at 135cm, but of course, because it isn't made by Trakker or Aqua, it will not have the head clearance issues...
A lot these "problems" are bought up by the same people that slate any manufacturer that dare supply stuff through a tackle dealer & want to buy shelters direct thinking they are getting a bargain when in reality they are not & just getting a copy of a product that has been designed by one company & then they are having them made using the other companies hard work. Why do you think they have had to move to camlocks instead of a folding block.....

If you read any of my posts re the Tempests. You will also see that I write what a great bit of kit it is. I have never slagged off the actual product. For me personally, its just the height issure. That's why I have continued to use one for five years.
I still use my V1 brolly all year round and put up with the low height.
I definatly would not agree with you that 125 cm is a generous height. I sit on my trakker bedchair and my head touches the roof. I wouldn't be saying it if it didn't. Why would I ?
In my opinion it's too low. We are all allowed our opinions I think.

Agreed absolute brilliant the V2 Brolly. Just wish the front was 30cm higher. It's worse with the Infill.
