Think the brolly version is smaller mate.

My advanced 100 skull cap fits my composite mb bivvy, I'm pretty sure most of the tempests are compatible apart from the brolly range.

I get totally confused by tempests. Was the v2 composite based on the brolly or the bivvy.? God only knows why they made their range so confusing.

Hi Wayne... If you decide to go the full hog with the V2 save your, ££ and buy the cyprinus generic options.. Quite a lot cheaper. Been using my V2 since Jan 19.. No complaints at all.

I will check them out. Are they still doing stuff for the tempest now they've moved over to their own designs?

It might of been based on the V1 brolly which was slightly bigger. I'm probably wrong

The composite was a little bigger than the tempest brolly but had a full front infill included

I went to Browns yesterday to get a v2 brolly but they were out of stock. But they had a V2 composite left which they did me a good deal on. Not understanding such things as tempests it didn't occur to me that the skull caps would be different as I thought a v2 brolly and v2 composite were the same thing except with different fronts.
So now I'm a bit knackered as I've been googling and I can't find a v2 composite skull cap anywhere. I know it's not the current model but it's only two years old. I assumed shops would have one gathering dust in a corner somewhere but I'm drawing a blank.
I can see me somehow having to try to bodge one from another model if I can't find one. Not ideal.

Don't get hung up on skull caps. I've done over a hundred nights in my brolly and have never felt the need for one. If there's no wind and the rain is falling vertically you don't need one. If it is windy, to avoid the driving rain put the front panel up. Personally I think the skull cap is a gimmick.

I agree no skull cap for me, I fish all year round just with the brolly and mozzie mesh.

The skull cap does reduce condensation in the autumn and spring but also helps in very hot days keeping the bivy cooler.
So I leave it on all the time.
Just my opinion.

Mates of mine who use tempests have also told me that the peak really helps to stop rain coming in so they can leave the door open or letterbox more often.
I can live without one but if I can find one I will definitely get it. Especially if they help with condensation
