I think there is a difference in quality . Don't get me wrong they are very good ,leagues ahead of many manufacturers but I think my mk1 is better made

Time will tell I guess !

In answer to your minus 2 question - catching fish ( a mid 30 mirror to start the year off with 😎

I know someone who use to work as an agent for cypher, he told me that the trakker and aqua products were made in the same factories, the only difference was they paid more for the aqua products due to better
Quality controls. I can believe this as every trakker shelter I've owned has had a fault.

The material seems thinner and the frame seems a bit less sturdy . Nothing really to worry about

I know that, as I said cypher. Someone said earlier the fast and light seemed better quality/built. Probably due to lower qc but the same product.

I agree 100% with you that used to be the case, I. Not so sure anymore. Browns angling in Leighton buzzard has a pretty big area for bivvys where they are permanently set up and you can compare like for like. They had a tempest air, an aqua compact m3 and an aqua mk2 fastlight all set up. A quick wander around them showed there's very little of any differences between the latest trakker quality and the latest aqua quality. If anything the tempest air material felt heavier weight than the mk2 fast light.

I watched two brand new cyprinus fast and light on ebay yesterday and they both sold for £70 so bit of a bargain.

In my experience with the Mk1, make a bid over £70. If you don't win they will then contact you later and offer you the chance to buy at that price
