I've had 60 inch brollys, titan, aqualite bivvy, fox super brolly and now I have the tempest t 100

It's brilliant.
So easily to set up


I have bought a larger bag for it as its like wrestling 🤼‍♂️ an octopus 🐙 when it's wet)

But seriously they are great.
I've got the zip on front but not the skull cap.
I recommend it
Cheers Mike

Thanks for the reply.

100T Seems to have better availability as well

I found the 100t a bit too tall. I got a standard 100 instead. Prefer the more compact size, but get why others like the height. 10cm extra on the height of the 100 would have been perfect for me. 100t is an extra 25cm.

I got a 100t and all the accessories that you can get for it, I love mine and find it the perfect height but I am 6ft 3 the door height is perfect, the normal 100 is way to low for me because of my height

I am over 6ft as well so need the extra height.

How vital is the skull cap wrap? £170 takes it into a different price bracket

Not vital but it does come in handy throughout the winter for a wrap to help with condensation, I only use the skull cap wrap in the winter the rest of the year I use a normal skull cap instead mate

I like the versatility of the 100t . If you're in a swim that's a bit wider you don't have to use the tension strap. You can drop the height 100mm and give yourself a bit more room inside. . I gave up with the skull cap. The wrap isn't much more bigger and fits on the barrow fine. I have the mozzi front , solid front and a ground sheet. It all stays in the van and is useful to have the modular system to suit venue and swims. As and when required . It dries so much quicker than my v2 tempest and an awful lot lighter as well. Great bit of kit.

Same. Being only 5'10 I don't need the full height so if there's room I also don't use the strap.and set it a bit wider and lower.

Nothing quicker to setup and I've had a lot of bivvys

I assume you need to put the strap on if you put the front on?

Im currently using a tempest air, and would ideally like to replace it with something similar but with the option of a front.

Is the 100 the same sort of dimension as im used too? Im 6ft but never had a head height issue.

I really have no idea. Given the choice id rather higher than lower, but the pictures of the 100t it looks comically high.

If i remember correctly, the v2 bivvy is 140cm high. 15cm more that the brolly, and 10 cm shorter than the 100t

It's the height to width that seems odd in photos but not so much in use. However when laying on the bed the door seems high yet my full size pioneer can be set that high too and it never seems so odd.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
