Trouble is finding any for sale - against all logic / Ultralite heresy I too suddenly 'desire' an RS100 . . .but only because I don't like my V2 utility front (pathetic excuse) !

Looking more like the Tempest 100T.

I'm not able to do many nights currently (work/child), so this will do me for a while for sure, and like 'Baitman' said, it can be put on my barrow easily if I move.

Aqua brolly is really easy to carry/ set up, you can buy an overwrap or some sides for it that clip in off of facebook I cant remember who does them but the whole set up is perfect for days or quickly moving. I have that and a T100 and if im going for a short time and its not lashing it down i take the aqua brolly , the T100 is a bit bigger to hump around to be honest with you . Much more head room in the T100 and much more sturdy also .
Both have there plusses and minusses but if i only had to choose one it would be the T100 becouse it is very versatile and you can get the peak etc.

100T is the best I've ever had, lightweight, quick to breakdown/erect, tall enough and beats any of the brollies I've had in the past - no comparison.

Sat in mine now, hoping against hope 🤣

I'm 6 ft 4 with a solar bed and the 100t suits me down to the ground . Quick to erect and dismantle . Recommend the zip in front panel for winter and poor weather .

Total fishing tackle had the ultralite and skull cap for £399 on Tuesday - absolute bargain price.

\not the biggest of brollies but i use a Tempest V2 brolly all year round, when the dog or son comes fishing with me or i go to France i just put on the utility front.

I'm using a Trakker Tempest 100, one of the early ones, with an infill panel. Im 5'10 and i wish it was a bit taller so a 100T would be more suited for you.

Its really not that much of a faff at all like others have highlighted, very easy to setup and pack down, the annoying bit is pegging but if you use it with the front open, you can get away with 3 pegs, 1 in the back and then 2 in the front either side.

Has anyone bought from carp.com before? The 100T is £100 cheaper on there, just wanting to check before hitting the button...

I was after an overwrap for a bivvy recently and carp.com were one of the few places showing stock. I don't think it's an active online store though as it doesn't give you a shipping method once you enter your details.

Hi mate, thank you for the below. Is it pick up only, if so do you know where they are based? I was just suprised that all the shops are the same price within a fiver, but they're £100 cheaper.
Are you sure?
