I remember when I first bought a trakker mk2 armo and that had pin ***** holes all over it. I sent it back and got another, and that had the same so just kept it.. it Never leaked, never affected performance..
Anyway back to cyprinus. I had the 2 man carbon compact DPM which was fantastic from cyprinus which saw me through a winter on rockford then I realised I would be moving to a smaller water with tight swims so took a punt on the Typhoon. I have to say it is the best bivvy I have had and I have had LOADS including the Tempest composite (material was garbage) Yes there were some teething issues such as the front poles needed a locking collar to give them enough strength (which they have now resolved) and the 2 things I would change for me personally being 6ft 4 would be an extra 2inches head room and anti twist poles.
Well.. if I had waited I could have had the Typhoon MH although I think the footprint is ever so slightly bigger than the Typhoon. There is ample room in the standard Typhoon though so wouldn't want it any bigger, as prefer a lighter more compact bivvy to carry about.
Anti twist poles.. well I am going to buy some from the after Xmas, then I will pretty much have the perfect bivvy.
I was skeptical about the zip in ground sheet, but its fantastic!
Has and does everything I want at around £200 cheaper than the Trakker Tempest. Everyone on the bank that has seen it has stood and admired it.
Cyprinus after sales is fantastic. And those slating the poles, well mine had a fox logo on them (same poles) and the skull cap arrived in a trakker box.. same factory.
Some people have got great deals on the auctions. I am waiting for the utility front for the standard DPM to come up.. Transform it easily into a bivvy to take the kids with me

The prices are up on the K2 it was £200 when I bought it! it's great but very heavy. I have one of their sleeping bags too can't fault that.
Might get the fast n light from them too. No problems with the quality of the items from me so far.
