Has anyone bought one of these for the tempest brolly? Are they any good? I was considering getting a bivvy but this seems like a decent alternative.

I did and I'm happy with it, takes longer to put on than it does to put up the brolly but the extra room is great. I was looking at getting a 2 man bivvy for longer sessions no need now this suits me fine

Everyone probably says that. Until you actually get a 2 man bivvy, it weighs 20kg and is a right mare to put up.
This looks perfect for next summer for the Mrs, I hate having to pack the 2 man.

Does it make the tempest brolly into a full two man set up?
I.e. - will I be able to get two standard beds in to it with enough of a walk way left over.

Just bought one of these from Total Fishing Tackle, got them on offer at £99, will be ideal when my lads starts to want to come 👍

Can fit two bedchairs easily in to a Tempest Brolly with the Utility Front fitted. I use one when the wife comes with me & a Wychwood Tactical & a Fox Flatliter Compact MK2 fit down each side with plenty of room in the middle to get in & out. The only small grumble I have is that the inner "wings" on the brolly don't roll back so have to be tucked up which means that they can flap about if not pegged down like you would in normal use. I use a V1 Utility Front on my V2 Brolly as the colour difference means nothing to me (extra camouflage).
If used as a extended front it gives plenty of additional room, much more than you really need TBH. More than adequate for a week in France or somewhere to sit on a chair out of the elements yet still see the water protected.

I agree about the wings but just poked them thru no probs.
2 Fox flatliter's straight in with lots of room....
Whilst on the bank I decided to treat meself to a 200t......
That is one hell of a beast completely different ball game!
When we tried it in the garden We got 3 bed chairs in and all the bags it is some kit for the money.
