I still use my v1 tempest brolly with skull cap in spring and autumn, Its a great little shelter. I only swap in the summer and winter for my Titan hide pro.

I'm the same still have a v1.. use it also with a skull cap all year except winter when I go for the wrap. Had a snapped pole on it but other then that still going strong and no leaks.
Only thing i would add would be the mozzi mesh but cant get hold of them anywhere now a days.

nice to see the love for the V1 & completely agree
picked one up with mozzie mesh, overwrap & extension a few years ago & it has done everything I have ever needed including plenty of family camping trips. can't see me needing to replace it anytime soon but I would by exactly the same thing or the closest I can get to it.

Best brolly or shelter I have ever used, for all round ease of use, quality and functionality.

I know i have a 100 but im in sure if its a V1 or a V2 (it doesn't have any vents)
I have used it for years with just the infill panel but since starting to do nights the past 11 months, i opted to get a ground sheet. I got it just as the cold weather ended beginning part of this year.
This friday gone i used the ground sheet for the first time and wow, what a difference it makes to temperature and condensation. Plus it acts as the tension strap so you can get it to near perfect position, far easier to setup then i anticipated.
With this being said, I am eager to get a bigger bivvy, to have something a little bigger and more head room would be brilliant.
Money is tight at the moment so i'm pondering the idea of just getting a Skull Cap Overwrap for this winter, apparently it helps with the colder temps again.

The skull cap makes a massive difference, stops most condensation and prevents door drip.
My skull cap is permanently on the tempest.
The skull cap wrap might be a good option for winter sesh but an extra faff to set up.
