I don't use this bivvy was just on about overrwraps in general
only thing I add to my shelter is a zip on front if a cold wind is blowing directly in, can't stand that!

I never ever take my Skull cap off my tempest bivvy
amazing how it helps in the baking sun definitely cooler and better shade and of course in winter in the rain the peak helps and when its freezing cold helps to keep it warmer and helps with condensation on the roof are too see zero point in a full overwrap unless you really needed the extra space it can give

Must say these skull caps are starting to look interesting, particularly if you can just leave them attached for pack down. Not sure if I can still get one that fits my Air will check with Trakker.

funny you should mention the Air I met a Yorkshire-man up on the Tidal Trent last year he was next to me and using an Air
and I bumped into him again this year and it absolutely chucked it down all night and most of the day he came to have a chat and said after seeing my Skullcap last year he got one so yes they do one he said it was the best thing he has bought and loved the extra coverage the peak gives

The skull cap that fitted the trakker tempest v2 system bivvy also fitted the tempest air model so the new tempest 100 Bivvy system skull cap will fit

I have a few items of Andy's and the bag supplied is on par with Andy's quality wise and is oversized so a doddle to pack away into it.
You just deflate it, remove the front pole then fold the front 1/3 to the middle and then the back 1/3 towards the middle. Roll up from one end to the other and secure with a length of paracord. Slots in the bag easy with room to spare.

I find the bag with my Kampa plenty big enough but the over wrap bag could do with being a little bigger
Just got too deflate 5 min before I want to put it away is the easiest way

Had mine delivered today from future fishing. Although I haven't looked at the bivvy at all very impressed with the bag - better than any bivvy bags I've seen previously. Granted the bag quality is of a minor concern though.

Thanks Chris another thing I notice watching different videos not sure if they changed the design on the peak tension bar ??
but in some they fit the bar on top and others they fit it underneath ???

I noticed that also from a few vids I saw. Luckily the one I had from Future has the pole on the underside.
Much neater.

I found a footprint (2nd under groundsheet) from Johnson Ross for
£12.99p
they havent got anymore sadly however I have seen them on Ebay for around £25
but looking at the picture and video they look very thin ? or are they the normal heavy duty rubberised groundsheets ??

I ordered a footprint groundsheet off ebay for £25 - must admit I'm not 100% sure what the purpose of it is but thought I'd get one as a spare groundsheet as they're being discontinued.
