Asked if there will be Front Extension like fox has, answer: Probably early next year
I'm pulling her out right now in my search for a Brolly / bivvy, there's a deal now at a shop here
Tempest 100 T Bundle ( brolly, groundsheet , infill panel, incest panel, skull cap) for £347,78.
That would be the limited Fritzl edition? Great if you bring the kids!

Sorry! carry on.

You could get the cyprinus typhoon for 399 delivered. I love mine I'm under it right now I've not bothered with groudsheet or vapour shield the only thing that does get on my tits is that it's not fitted with anti twist poles but other than that I can't fault it. I'm out in 40mph winds at the moment and its solid. It's nice thick material keeps you nice and cool keeps the light out for the money I think its great will it last I reckon so my other cyprinus bivvy the compact dpm one has never let me down and that's had loads of abuse

Trakker prices are always a proper piss take in the UK
Take the shops profit margin off the prices and they are similar to Cyprinus's prices. If Cyprinus sold through dealers, then their prices would be the same as Trakkers.

Have to agree that looking at those photos...that's shocking quality!
It definitely doesn't look right at the front,mine is really taut.
I have just put mine up in the back garden so I could send some photos to a mate and I have noticed one of my plastic collars has cracked and when I pulled one of the front arms out the elastic came out like in your photo☹️...so perhaps not quite as good as I thought.
I didn't keep the box so not sure about sending back and will probably sort it out myself but if it looked like yours I'd definitely be sending it back.

Yep that gauls me to Gerry. Doesn't make any sense at all about price difference in Europe to us. Makes me feel even more like they are pulling our pants down now.
You would think with all that's going on at the moment. They would have a little sympathy for all of us that have lost our jobs and struggling out there and drop their silly prices. But some how I doubt it

personally I would choose the Trakker 100T bundle from those every time at those prices provide the size was big enough for your needs ?? H 150cm x D 235cm x W 250cm.

The trakker T100 would be the best choice if I go fishing alone, but sometimes the daughter also comes along (8years) so it must fit 2 bedchairs and my dog.

So after sending back the quest outer block I went and purchased my other alternative which was the sonik axs bivvy. Which apart from not coming with a vapour shield and skull cap is almost the same bivvy (design wise) and at a similar price point.
The quality is night and day compared to the quest. The material is quality, very similar to the material I've had on previous chub vizor and vizor lite I've owned. The frame is alot more sturdy, it holds it shape without need for the storm poles.
The ground sheet is better and fit rather than being baggy. The door is nice and wide. The poles are anti twist which is nice. The back is flatter so the bed can go further back making more usable space at the front.
The only thing that you could argue the quest had over the sonik is it was slightly higher (though not 150cm as stated). The door on the quest was 125cm and the sonik is 120cm. I'm short so little difference to me. Also I think the quest is lighter but that would be down to the lighter material used.
Overall the sonik is a much better alternative.

Shame these are having issues, just goes to show quality control is needed, I expect these havent even been out the boxes just shipped on out. I wanted quest to do well as i hoped it would create a sensible price for all manufacturers and i was looking to buy one once the quality had been established. Luckily i won a t100 with all the extras so its a moot point now. I will try to do review of the t100 once ive had time to use it a bit.

I agree it's a shame but I think even the big companies have had quality control issues in the past .It's good that there's more competition for this type of shelter now.
In hindsight I should have waited a few months like I do with most new products.
I like the lightness of it and skull caps definitely help with condensation so I'm keeping it and as I have lots of time on my hands have fixed the issues and modified it to suit me and pretty happened with the result.
