Does anybody know what the difference is?
I understand the brolly has aquatexx material the same as the bivvy?

I was told in a previous thread that the bivvy has vents on the front and the brolly doesn't

Yes they both have aquatex material and the bivvy is bigger and has front vents aswell and if it's the newer tempest advance bivvy it can have a clip in inner capsule and has a different style opening of zip in Mozzi mesh front

Post 4 is correct I have both the advanced brolly and the 100 bivvy. Difference is size and the bivvy has openings in the front also with the bivvy you can clip in the inner capsule. If I'm honest I prefer the brolly but the extra room in the bivvy helps on longer sessions and when I take the daughter with me

I've been looking on the TFT website where they are selling the tempest advanced brolly for £480. It says that it has 4 large rear vents giving 360° ventilation with insect panels fitted. So it would seem these are an extra. So what do I actually get for my £480? Cheers.

The insect panels are the Mossi mesh panels built into the shelter 2 on the back and 1 at either end of the shelter you get the full shelter with front infill , heavy duty groundsheet , 2 x front storm poles , carry bag & pegs

I thought Trakker operates a policy of insisting on a minimum retail price and discourages discounting of their products, bivvies in particular? Better known as price fixing to most of us
