Ive got a mint Aqualite with a custom quick pack holdall. only downside is that
it is crying out for a nice big rear vent, as its really a summer shelter. i have the pioneer for winter.
however ive been looking at the Trakker tempest 100T
so yesterday I cleaned up the Aqualite with grangers and proofed it in the sun. no fade at all, its the same as the clear solid door thats never been used. and its made in uk aquatex. the water is beading off again and Im getting cold feet.
i also have a custom made holdall for it. so its quick and easy to get in and out.
what would you do?

I also use an Aqualite for summer as you Paul, I'd never alter it - it's the nice simple no gimmick design that makes it a joy to use I find.

Aqua lite all day long it's the perfect lightweight shelter; no fuss 2ribs and it weighs nothing!! I had one with the wrap and Andy out vents in the back and the front and it was great!!
I regret letting it go to be honest and yours Looks Mint

. . .I too have had a recent spell of 'Tempest Temptation' however wouldn't sell that Aqua if I were you!
Just started on a new mozzie infested water but got rid of my barely used Aerolite (3 rib wannabe Aqualite) but regretting it already as it had rear vents / full mozzie front (un-used) the lot . . .only issue I had with it was poor visibility and headroom . . .
Aqua need to re-issue an Ultralite sized Pioneer (125) with full mozzie front / magnetic openings a la Tempest Advanced 100 . .

an ultralite version the size of a 50 inch brolly would be fantastic.....
I have been told Trakker did make one or two for a couple of the consultants way back. would love to get my hands on one!

I've also got an Aqualite with winterskin, mozzi front and ground sheet that I just can't pull the trigger and sell. Brilliant bivvies, just not so good on the rock hard banks I'm fishing from.
