Looking to purchase a tracker advance 100 bivvy with skull cap and inner capsule. What are the thoughts of you guys using them already?

Depends how much space you need inside and what size swims you need it to fit in. I have got the tempest brolly advanced which is a fraction smaller than 100 bivvy. I only do days and quick over nights, also the lakes I fish have very tight swims.
Pros:
Quick set up pack down for moving around. Hot days stays cool with vents up. Its dark inside I like this because its easier to sleep.
Cons:
With solid front in I can't there is a slightly restricted view when sat on bed chair, this is not an issue if there is no front or mossi mesh in.
I would go have a look at one set up with a bed chair in, I am not sure how much the capsule reduces the internal size.

I have just sold my brolly advanced and purchased the Bivvy advanced, at 6ft 5 its made all the difference having the extra bit of height from the Bivvy, I can now sit on the bed and look out unlike the brolly,
By fitting the inner capsule it reduces the size similar to the brolly so may have the sight restriction problem when fitted, I won't personally be using one myself.
Having owned just about every shelter that has existed I would have to say the tempest is the best for Me !! (I'm not saying it's the best out there as it's all down to personal preference).
Super fast to set up and take down for moving and super pack down sizing, having tried them I won't be moving from a tempest,
People have moaned about Build quality but I have owned the V1,V2, brolly v2, brolly advanced and now the Bivvy 100 and have never had a signal fault with any !
Hope this helps 👍
