Just after some user reviews if possible, I know some people said they had concerns about the plastic knuckle/spring, so mainly want to hear if anyone has had any issues with these yet as I'm looking at getting one in the new year.
Thanks

Eye watering prices for the kit. Is it worth £979 ( usually available at £879+) for a 150 size bivvy?
The 100 is £899 - 944.99rrp... discounted to £799 - £850 ish.... Social caps are £400 - £450 rrp alone...
Lol.. . Makes a Nash titan or Fox Frontier look cheap....

I've used the normal 100T for a few years and it's fast to setup with no issues and doesn't cost the earth.
They also purposely made the new RS range NOT fit any of the non-RS accessories like infill panels, skull caps, wraps etc so that if you just fancied upgrading your core bivvy......you can't unless you buy all the accessories you regularly use with it.

I've also got the standard 100T with cap, wrap, social and it's been perfect, I see the aquatex 100T has also now been discontinued, this was probably required as it was so underpriced at a mere £599 rrp.

All good for now 👍

Anyone know if there are any plans to bring out a Utility front for the RS range or if previous front will suffice?

My RS150 is holding up well and a great bit of kit IMHO, only real down side is the cost however, most good items are expensive these days.

Also got the RS100 and agree, it is the perfect shelter for me. One niggle is the groundsheet, don't like clip-in jobs personally.

Makes it look even more expensive when you can get a aqua pioneer ultralite and skull cap for less than £400 now.

Plus that has thicker fabric aswel. Doesn't mean it's better quality though, but still. That always strikes me when comparing Trakker's and Aqua's Aquatexx: Aqua's is much thicker.

Thicker fabric = dries out slower. There's always a positive and negative.
The more people willing to pay ridiculous money for a slightly updated tempest rs the more encouraging it is for Trakker to keep hiking prices and their profit margins.
£900 for a 100 aquatexx which was half that price not long ago is simply outrageous imo.

Yes those prices are just insane, I can't honestly see how they can justify those prices.

I seriously looked at one to buy (rs brolly) a short while back, but certain elements made me think again and not buying it and keeping my Fox Frontier X.

It's because people keep paying it,wait a few months and prices normally drop
