Why would you buy 5 different Tempests?

Had the HQ base 1 and 2 man and the base 1 man when they first had auctions on them. Cannot fault them. Seems like they got an audience and for some unknown reason let the quality dip whilst raising prices.

I've also got the K2 and have NO issue with the ground sheet. Just zip it in before pegging it out fully.There is no need to fit it before setting the brolly up. Not a hardship really is it? Poles aren't the best but you can always use stronger ones, again not that much of a big deal considering the price of the brolly.
If people want to pay carp tax for their brolly/ bivvy then carry on. Look at the quality of Fox stuff, plenty of issues there as well.....

Isn't the K2 £300 for a cheap brolly, sheet and front? I'd say the carp tax man has given that a good slap too.

'for some unknown reason let the quality dip whilst raising prices'
Thats true of all carp companies rather than focussing on the product they focus on the profit
Nash, Fox, Aqua, all gone down hill from what was their glory day now all aiming for the holy grail the £1,000 tent costing £50 to make in China.

Can't believe that they'd do it after getting a decent customer base. Same as you say profits first.
Often wonder if the chap on here could muster up a decent bivvy who'd no doubt get a good few enquiries too I bet.

This is a list of products I have purchased from Tackle Discounts through ebay
Cyprinus Cyprimax Breathable Bivvy Carp Fishing 2 Man 122.00
Cyprinus Breathable Overwrap 2 man 33.00
Cyprinus 10 Steel Bivvy Peg Set In Handy Carry Case 4.70
Cyprinus WideGuy XL 8 Leg Carp Bedchair 82.00
Cyprinus Magmatex 3-5 Season Carp Fishing Sleeping Bag 52.00
Cyprinus ZoneOut EXTRA PADDED lightweight reclining fishing chair with arm rest 34.00
That's 328 quid spent on a 2 man bivvy and overwrap, wide bedchair, sleeping bag and a recliner chair.
The first items were bought during or before 2011 the bivvy and overwrap, still in use no probs, however most of this stuff gets used on longer sessions 4 nights, week etc so not in use every week. No complaints from me, the only problem I had was when I purchased the bedchair, they sent a Salmon fly road instead
I phoned them and they dispatched the bedchair straight away, they said keep the rod! I do live in Spain so I expect it was more trouble to collect it rather than lose the value of it.

to be fair ive had cyprinus bivvys for over 5 years now,starting with a punt on a base hq 2man and wrap ,it is built better than my my trakker mk2 armo,firstly the mesh in the vents was stronger ,didnt tear when a mouse farted near it!
so then i bought a fast and light version of the aqua brolly, which came in the same box as my aqua fast and light,the thing was identical. then i bought the camoe m4 and wrap oustanding little house,i sold that to buy my typhoon,
love this ive had no problems at all with mine,bought the scull cap,utilty front,and fulloverwrap,and then orderd the cap wrap which i havnt got yet.i think there gear is spot on !in fact i bought a dpm storm for good measure thats in the loft for a back up
plus there customer service is first class.
ive had fox,trakker and aqua shelters,so this is my honest opinion.

Ive had a sleep system for a few years, about half the price of the big names. Top bit of kit. Also had the fast and light. Turned up in an aqua box !!!!
