If you only break the poles in 2 places mate it's as quick as anything except maybe a tempest. I was obsessed with speed of “erection 😲” so that I could move quickly and using just 4 pegs, could have an atom up in 60 seconds easily.

I bought Heff's Tempest 100T off him last year and I wish I had got a Trakker years ago instead of stooping below a low brolly and doing my back no good, the Trakker mechanism is so quick and easy to erect and break down and the height of the 100T is nothing short of brilliant. I've never had anything near it.

I had the same conundrum not long ago and went for an aqua fast and light which suites my needs perfectly.

Do they have an issue with condensation?
I know most get a little but I've heard they were quite bad for it?

It's an open front shelter so condensation is minimal but it still happens, I wouldn't say anymore or less than a traditional open front brolly. I carry my overwrap with me and put it on when necessary and it was another cheap purchase off here for £50, this eliminates it all together but condensation is a non issue for me.

Only used it once. Its no worse or better that my tempests. I only use it for day sessions.
Are you sure?
