My mates typhoon turned up with badges stitched on upside down and the pegging points was coming off on the first setup and now less than 18 months it's started to fail on the actual main block system, just cheap rubbish in my opinion, I'd rather just pay the extra

I have to admit when looking to replace an original fox evo not because of any faults in its use, but as I become older and often struggle to erect it, I looked at the Trakker tempest, it became apparent the cyprinus version was a pale imitation, with more than a few issues being spoke of around the banks.
I purchased the tempest and am very happy with all aspects of it, it fits in the smallest of swims, is quite easy to upgrade with various "add ons" and suits my needs perfectly.

I have the typhoon mh, got some spare poles delivered only a few weeks ago FOC from them.
The site is still up but has no products on it.
TBH overall I have liked their products and when it went wrong they delivered and all was resolved so for me it'll be a shame if they truly have gone under.
###ked if I would pay tracker's extortionate price for a 150 tempest.... it's just stupidly overpriced. Yes, I can afford it but ffs.... it's just a bivvy...
With any luck cyprinus will reappear in a few weeks under a tweaked name or they might just be having a site update..... 🤔 🤞

I get a regular pdf sent to me by one of the Chinese manufacturers. Not the same factory as trakker use, but they do make lots of other stuff. I've never bothered to go through the whole thing but I'm pretty sure the stuff listed is resold by the likes of avid etc. I think you'd be surprised how little stuff actually costs. Obviously there's the need to order in volume, plus shipping etc but I have to agree that £1000 for a bivvy is pulling peoples pants down.
They are slow to respond to emails....
I can't find anything about the company going bust, maybe they have just cleared the shop to have a quiet Xmas and new year. We will see.

They took my money on December 4th and have not attempted to ship my order, nor responded to any enquiries for at least two weeks now.
I'm fairly confident they/he have trousered my cash and done a runner.
I would be interested to see if anyone else has experienced the same, but my gut feeling is that I already know the answer.

I have been told they are still taking orders today, if that is so it is totally wrong, like taking money by false pretences, surely there is a law against this, years ago I purchased a new three piece suit from a company not knowing they had gone to the wall, I was very lucky as I used my credit card and was refunded the money and NO I never got the suit

I don't see how they can still be taking orders, as their site shows zeroes stock of any products.
I'm hoping that Paypal will refund my money , once they realise what has actually gone down.

How are they taking orders??
the website shows no products at all, and all other media, farcebook, youtube, etc has either shut down, been removed or long abandoned.

EBAY,??
I thought you had bought it direct from cyprinus?
I wasn't aware they sold on ebay, have you got a link to their listings.

They certainly sold through eBay, that's how I bought the ‘Aqua' F&L. This might have been before their website though.

Yep, should have stayed that way by the looks of it, but maybe the supply of back door/seconds Aqua gear ran out.

Duh, I had a brain fart earlier. I meant that I hope Paypal refund my money.
I placed my order directly from the website.
Sorry for any confusion, must have been a senior moment, lol !
