The way I see it is no one builds stuff to last anymore. That all ended with the Union Jack Aqua stuff. So given that you might as well buy cyprinus. It's a comparable quality to the current trakker, Aqua, Nash stuff but less than half the price.

The way I look at it, owning a few of their bivvy items then I reckon I will easily get 5+ years out of them and if I'm honest Probably longer. So for a brolly that cost me less than £75 and a bivvy that was less than £150 I think I'm doing alright.

Does anyone actually think that If they pat twice as much for a trakker that it will last twice as long or be twice as good?

I had a Sonik XTI Supadome. Had it for about 3-4 years and paid £250 new. £450 RRP and it was falling apart by the end.

Trakker probably spend a fair bit on development. Same with Nash, Korda and others.
Buying copies kill invention.
That's why I prefer buying the originals if possible.
Each to their own of course.

Yet both Trakker & Nash copied the original Armadillo design as did many others most of the major tackle manufacturers are guilty of plagiarism !!

True, but would you invent a square wheel just because someone else had already invented the circular one.

Once the initial hype dies down of the Typhoon I dont see the likes of Cyprinus denting or concerning the bigger brands with this product ... its not cheap enough for many people to to risk a "non brand" and there will always be people that buy the premium "labels" at higher cost because it has a "label" ... this happens in all areas of consumerism. Non brands need to be under £200 imo ... To me their M4 range is a better proposition in terms of value.

He's blocked comments because I asked a few questions. he didn't even understand Hydrostatic Head just kept telling me it's better. Crap review same with Carpology , it's what the seller wants to hear not what they need to be told to make things better.

I actually just prefer it when company anglers are just open about it. If I watch a korda promo video I expect them to be using korda products. I don't need them to be telling me how wonderful they think they are. I'd find it a bit odd if one of them demonstrated a product and then picked holes in it, id wonder why they'd released it.

Promos should be promos and reviews should be reviews. The two shouldn't mix.
Are you sure?
