Due to my son breaking his arm (again) very badly and recovering from surgery theres no chance we or indeed I
an going fishing a while. so I thought I would try out my new shelter for size anyway.

if anyones interested heres the 100T with a nash wideboy and bag. legs mostly extended. photos using
the tension strap. and also without and pegging it wider. garden is flat , maybe at that point sloping up a tad
so may make it look higher.

To me it looks ideal without the tension strap and a lot more room inside it, but others may prefer the increased height

yes. when i laid down on the bed. i did feel very exposed. but nice option on a hot day or night. no rain threatened.
to change height is just removing and replacing a couple of pegs so can be done quickly if conditions change.

Do the infills fit when its splayed out like the second photo? Whats the headroom like . .. ?

On a similar note I saw a Tempest 200 on my syndy last week . . .that could take 3x wideboys easily . . .ridiculous size shelter and a bit cheap & wobbly looking to be fair . . .doesn't look like £500 worth of bivvy IMHO

i dont have the infill, but having used them in an evo i can guarantee they wont work unless you dont want the door.
with the door shut its working like the tension strap. and wont go wider than the infill.

height is great.

Many thanks for the post. Didn't think a wide boy bedchair would fit so comfortably in a tempest brolly. Looks like there is plenty of additional space.

Appreciate the pics. Any idea how much taller the 100T is than the V2 brolly?

Thanks for the pics.

I'm considering one of these to replace my v1 brolly.

Does the bedchair push right to the back? I've always thought the space behind the bedchair was wasted

same shape mart so you still get V shape gap. though as the whole thing is a bit bigger i imagine
it goes back further before touching the side. when i first got it I put my stealth bed in there
and left it open in a storm. allbeit i dropped the front maybe 7 or 8 cm. when i checked the bed was dry.
Are you sure?
