Why not the normal tempest? Or the V2 tempest brolly with the infill panel if the the 100 is too big?
Where are you at? Angling direct in Preston have the pioneer and (a nasty) camo tempest set up in the shop.

so Ive been pouring through the MANY versions of tempest on the Trakker page. Saw the Advanced brolly. Now that's more like it.
No wonder when I saw a 100 on the bank it as crazy massive. Each to there own and all that but it was IMHO, ridiculously big. I was under the impression that was the smallest in the range.
So now, its the Tempest brolly Advanced VS the Pioneer 100
the tempest, inside is more than adequate, I just need to see a Pioneer 100 up to see how the space is used internally. The Pioneer has that sloping back, hopefully all of the space can be used.
On a foot note, why does Trakker have SO many variants. insane

I watched the trakker 15 minute video explaining it all on Youtube and was still confused.
Whilst were on the subject of size...
Is the Tempest Advanced 100 the same size as the V1 & V2 bivvy?

The Tempest Advanced 100 I saw on the bank was, ridiculous. Imo, it looked like a 2 man. Dread to think how big the 150 and the 200 are in the flesh

The Tempest 100 is slightly smaller than the V1 & V2. Poms it must have been a 150 you saw, the 100 is a standard 1 man shelter.

Agreed. Trakker don't seem to be able to come up with the correct size brollies and bivves.
I have the origional V1 brolly. Which is an absolute fantastic brolly apart from the height at the door.
The V2 was even lower and now to rectify that they have brought out the 100T which is a good height at the door but the same height all over making it look a bit ridiculous IMHO.
Should have a bit like the pioneer with a big slopping front to back but not so severe.
I'm not sure who they employ to field test their prototypes. But it should have been me.

I think the v2 Bivvy is spot on size wise

Had both, the tempest Ev bivvy, and now the Ev pioneer.....2 bent legs in 1 month on the Tempest made me change it quickly....the left front one, got fed up and ordered the Pioneer.
Yes, its heavier but build much stronger then a tempest.

Two year old thread, glad you like the pioneer though just replaced my 25 year old one with the new ultralite.
