Just saw cyprinus new bivvy, looks pretty good, seems a shame everyone bought a typhoon then they release this, looks like a tempest again but a little higher i guess.

Because it's not going to be Trakker spec etc, i'm talking about the Typhoon not the Storm by the way.

Fortunately i'm not too bothered about cost and i'll stick to my Mk2 Tempest.


You have to laugh at all the references to Trakker products, makes you wonder how they get away with it, not that it's illegal.

I'm not sure on this I had the aqua fast and light and my mate had the cyprinus version. My mates didn't look same quality. But for the price he paid compared to me he definitely got the better deal. This was when cyprinus 1st brung theres our tho

They were identical. Mine even came in an aqua box.

I'm a bit confused about them taking the piss on the price? Seems to me it's a tempest composite with vents/ground sheet etc for £189. That seems like a bargain to me.

Both my cyprinus shelters are of equal quality to their Aqua equivalent but a fraction of the cost.

**** me this is difficult.

I'm talking about the TYPHOON not the Storm or anything else. Currently £449 on their website.
It looks a little like the Tempest BUT ITS NOT THE SAME!!

As stated it's not the same material, the mechanism that puts it up isn't the same , the manufacturers history and back up is NOT THE SAME.

It looks a decent copy but a little over priced based on the above .
Are you sure?
