I do agree I don't no why the price increase, maybe it's because of the vents? Who knows either way there was no need for the higher price is you ask me

Trakker have released a video of 3 latest tempests done in the new aquatexx ev material.Its 25,000 hh and Teflon coated,it could be this new brolly that's £500

500 just for a brolly is extortionate lol. Usually you have to buy all the add ons too if you want ground sheets etc. Atleast the frontier comes with all of these for 500.

Mark 1009 said it all and I think carp anglers give these companies two much credit they no that a lot of carp anglers will just buy it and regarding the tempest look on ad site it' says new arrival comes with zip front a ground sheet £499.99 they have made so many different models which is ridiculous can't keep up they treat carp anglers as fools

I agree,it's getting ridiculous how many models they have done but I get why.You will get people all wanting something different from their shelters,height is the main one I see mentioned alot.I have the v2 bivvy for longer sessions and a wychwood mhr brolly for shorter sessions.

I'm thinking of doing that, I have the Wychwood brolly plus a Cyprinus over wrap, its ok but the big problem is the spokes and centre pole, keep bashing my head on it and I'm only a tidler, I will be after a Tempest V2 brolly soon.

I'm pretty certain the cost of bulky items from China are going up across the board. It's not just tackle. Shipping costs from China to the uk have gone up significantly, not to mention the reduction in supply as China simply isn't producing as much as it used to do at the moment so prices are going up. There was a similar story on one of the news websites recently (can't remember which) about the cost of trampolines going up 50% this year ...mainly down to the increases in the cost of shipping.
Almost impossible to buy British when it comes to bivvy so I'm afraid you'll all have to bend over whilst China and the tackle companies go to town with the pot of sandy Vasoline and your rusty sheriffs badge, unless of course you can make do with what you've got already ....that's my plan anyway
...not the sandy vas bit ...I mean I'm all for “make do and mend” ....can see army Andy being a busy boy this year, and good luck to him

Anyone paying these prices needs their heads looking at

Is it that big of a deal to anyone if people are buying them? They are not making you buy it so just ignore it, if people can afford to do it and some can't so be it. I won't be getting one but it doesn't bother me if someone else does. Unpopular opinion but I'd happily pay that for it tho no problem if I liked it that much but I like my 100t so I won't be upgrading to this

The big deal is that if people buy them other companies follow then they go up again and again then before you look round when you want to buy a brolly it cost £700 if people didn't buy they would have no choice but to drop the price they are testing the market with these prices if they don't sell you can just drop the price and still make money it's the oldest trick in the book

It has just been proven how much they are pulling people's pants down with these prices.The Aqua Pioneer got heavily discounted a few weeks back to make way for the new material version.Even at the discounted prices they will still have made a huge profit.
