Which tempest? (3 posts / 629 views)

I'm planning to buy a new brolly in the coming days and decided on a tempest.

However, trying to decide which to get.

On one hand, the 100t would benefit me greatly at 6'3 and the vents in the back would be a god send.

On the other hand, the missus occasionally joins me for an overnighter and likes to share a bivvy. This is tempting me with the standard v2 brolly with a utility front.

Ideal situation would be the 100t with utility front but that doesn't exist (yet?)

So opinions? Get the bigger bivvy and deal with feet poking out under the stars or get the smaller bivvy and keep the wife happy?

I've got the V2 brolly with the Mozzie front and use that all year round.

I love the Tempest!!! ps IM 6'3 as well

Although not the current range Ive got a collection to cover all bases and have been chuffed with all of them

A V2 Air that I use 90% of the time (I had Army Andy put Vents in the back and a Zip on front) so It covers all bases and still plenty of room in there

I have a utility front that I picked up cheap and I use that if my daughter comes so can get two beds in there

Ive also got a tempest XL with a. wrap and that is a BEAST I tend to use it for session fishing and can easily get two beds in that


The utility fronts are brilliant add ons and will do the job you are after no problem Though I will add my pal has the brolly version and that's definitely lower
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
