I am really getting on now and used brollies for all my fishing career.

Treated myself to a Tempest V1 when the first came out. Love it, but as the years go on. I too am struggling with my back using these low shelters and low bedchairs. 72 hour sessions are playing havoc with my back.

I can see myself in the not to distant future looking for something taller.

I'm really hopeing Trakker will see a market for a taller Tempest.

Hi mate

Quite new to all this but also purchased the Fox R Series xl, don't know how you have found it but I have struggled my B*ll*cks off trying to put this up and take down. Is there a secret to this.

Sorry about the noddy question

What sort of problems you having buddy? One thing I noted was to connect the support poles from the front of the bivvy to the back as doing the other way round makes it impossible to extend the central bar.. unless you're 7ft tall!

Other than that I didn't have any problems. I opted for the inner dome so spent a while getting that all attached, now I just simply have to unzip the ground mat, remove support poles and pegs and fold up 👍🏻

Thanks mate

Just trying to figure out the link to the pics I have, basically mate I rolled out the bivvy and managed to assemble the front two sections ok but the back section left me with an impossible angle to try to slot together If i can work out the picture insert i'll show you what I mean.

Pretty sure it's my inability to do it but f*ck me it seems impossible

Found it very easy buddy, basically rolled out the bivvy started from the right attached the front then middle then back In, then moved to the next one on my left basically right to left. Then put the support bars in place starting from the front found it very easy bud, it's just like any 3 rib bivvy really

Struggled and struggled with similar issues and in the end returned it and got my self a Trakker but...............It was me all along, doing some reading I read that waxing the male spigot can help and it done the trick, simply get a candle and rub the spigot with the candle, the wax from the candle makes a world of difference and I no longer have any issues with pram type bivvies using this method....
