I agree I have the tempest 100t with all the extras and I won't change to any other one unless something happens to this one, completely upto anglers to buy it or not. I'm not being forced to buy any more of these newer types only thing I will buy is when the social cap comes out

Instead of renewing those hobbit bivvy's Trakker should just make the Cyprinus MH with the Trakker logo on it and the Tempest quality.

Isn't that pretty much what the 100t is?

MH :150H x 240 D x2 95 W
T100 :150 H x 235 D x 250 W

Yes there is the T150 but 315W is big for 1 man.

Oval beds are there for a reason, saving as much space as possible in the Tempest (that was the concept behind it) but not everyone wants a 93cm wide and heavy bedchair, why not just make a flat Tempest in non-hobbit dimension...

Agree but would also improve the pole quality as they have a tendency to bend/break (same with most bivvies though).

Can't fault mine

Funny to see woo many people say they are too small. Those tempests, even the brollys are enormous. I've been wanting one smaller since they come out. Won't fit in half the swims on my syndicate waters

I agree with that, I'd like one slightly smaller footprint and more open at the front, would save some weight too

Agreed - love the concept and have a second hand V2. A smaller one would be ideal for me, all it needs to cover is a compact bed, rucksack and bait bucket.

a Tempest75 type size would be perfect for me - no vents though!

Why no vents? If you want a small tempest grab the brolly, it's plenty small enough, especially if you tighten the tension strap up a bit, it adds a little height and redcluces the footprint. If the swim is big enough for a bed, then the brolly will fit

Brollys are too big. Tim has mentioned that he has a v2, if they done one that had a footprint of a 55 inch brolly it's be ideal for myself. I've had experience of it not fitting in swims that my 50 inch brolly does. Hence why it went by the wayside. Understandably it's a limited market small shelters so it more than likely won't ever happen. Masses need pleasing. Shame though as it is a fantastic concept.

I find that quite odd as I used the brolly for years and I could get it Into tight swims which my old hog squeezed into, and the old hog was based on a 50 inch brolly? I pulled the tension strap up tight and could literally get my bed, bait bag and carryall underneath with no spare space. Very rarely did I need to do that though.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
