Hi all,
i was wondering if anyone has a Titan Pro and how do you rate it? It appears to be a quackish divvy to put up and maybe another option of getting a tempest?
cheers

I have a titan t1 Camo and think it's pretty good although quiet bulky with all the bits resulting in it being larger and heavier than my powerplus which is a superb Bivvy. The Titan is alright quickish to set up.
I had a titan tc, which i think is now discontinued. Had a choice of that or a tempest like yourself. I quickly realised id made a mistake and sold the titan, and bought a tempest. Havent looked back. Tempest goes up much quicker in my experience, and i find easier to make stable and get lined up and tight with ground sheets and infills etc. Found the titan a bit of a pain to line everything up, im sure i just didnt get the nack of it but the tempest didnt seem to have the same issues and just worked for me. Tempest is lighter as well i believe.
Im sure if id given the titan the time id have got used to it, and no doubt they are great bits of kit. You dont hear ay issues with them to be fair, well i havent at least. The newtitan hide models look interesting as wel so may be worth a look

I've got the TC Pro, to me spot on, acres of room inside considering the footprint, bed goes flat to the back leaving lots of room. I can sit on my chair next to the bed and still not get wet, even if I stretch my legs out (Ok I'm only 5' 4" lol but you get the idea) as it has the peak. Really easy to put up and away. Zip off front, air vents etc. Brilliant oversized bag with mesh strips to it can breath if packed away damp. I've tried shed loads of bivvies over the years, and for me personally tickes all the boxes.

My experience was different to dave as I'm 6ft with my levelite els and bag over the foot end it touched the inner capsule and without the capsule the bag touched at the foot end.

I do only have a light standard bed, not one of these new bigguns, so not wide or over long.

I've had a TC Pro since launch, got to have done 200 plus nights in it!! Bombproof, dead easy to set up (I always put the groundsheet down first with bed on then pitch the Titan over it), I'm 6'2” 20 stone... I've a 8 leg bed 2100 x 870mm, with legs at full extension and pushed to back it will touch the corners but never had any problems ( that's with no mesh capsule)etc. Never suffered with condensation but I do tend to leave the door open and the front and back vents open most of the time.
Downsides.... fairly heavy, mine has faded quite a lot, but as previously mentioned it's had a full life, quite dark material so gloomy inside sometimes, it does pool a little on the peak even with the tension bar fitted. Door could be a bit higher, wider but I am a big old lump. Rear vents are a pain if left open overnight and it starts to rain etc but the same on a lot of similar bivvies.
Winter skin is good, heavy even darker inside when fitted, could have been improved with a bigger extension like the earlier original extreme canopy. Expensive but worth it.
Would I buy another? Without a doubt, if this one ever dies I'd probably go for the Camo T1, just for the higher door height, improvements on the original and looks etc
