I have had the V1 brolly from the day it came out. Its seen some extreme weather and I can honestly say its the best shelter I have ever owned.
Its only fault for me is its too low at the door. But I'm old and have a bad back from sitting on bedchair under brollies for the last forty years.
Going to get myself the 100T to replace my V1. Can anyone tell me. If my V1 groundsheet and skull cap will fit the 100T please?
Many thanks

Get a skullcap mate, they really do make a difference nomatter what others say. They give much better protection from rain, and stop condensation. Both make it far from a gimmick

Hi Beephy did you buy the cyprinus one for your tempest 100 advanced?

Is it really worth buying the aquatex tempest ?? I have one now the v2 but it's faded really bad the poles are scratched at the joints. Had it about 3 or 4 years I try and look after it but that's the wear nd tear you get even looking after it
Was thinking is it worth just buying the full system one but in the the cheaper ones

I can only give you my personal opinion after using the V1 Tempest brolly for about five years now. Which as you know is nylon. Still fully waterproof although I have never reproofed it. But do use a skull cap which I think helps massively having a double layer on the roof.
I was using an Aqua Aqualite before the Tempest. Which was Aquatex. I loved that shelter too but would not go back to it now. The nylon is just so much lighter and more robust and I don't think needs reproofing unlike aquatex.
Plus the added bonus its so much cheaper. It just ticks all the boxes for me.
I also do a lot of wildcamping with the dog. Tent manufacturers are streets ahead of the carp boys on nylon materials.

That would be strange considering the Trakker and Cyprinus skull caps were different material and completely different colours?

Ok so now I'm even more confused. Took the advice and looked on the cyprinus website. They list the following
Tempest composite MB skull cap
Tempest V2 composite skull cap
However when you click on the link for the v2 it takes you to the MB as well. Are these actually the same skull cap? I thought the MB used V1 material and the v2 used the newer nylon. So I'm wondering if this is a website cock up. If not will the MB cap fit the V2? And if it does will it look odd as it's a different colour.
FFS this is the first trakker shelter I've ever bought. Is it always made this bloody difficult.

TFT have them, apparently in stock, for the V2 brolly.

Although I'm a bit clueless on these things, I think the brolly is smaller than the composite. Although I could be completely wrong.

Sh*t, sorry, I thought you'd bought the brolly.

No mate bought it for a tempest composite but sent it back as I decided to buy a new bivvy instead.

Yes the composite MB & v2 composite are the same size the MB Tempest composite just has a metal block and don't have anti twist poles where as the v2 composite has the plastic composite block and anti twist poles this is what the difference were when I rang trakkker Last year to find out
