Absolutely love my 100T. It meets all of my criteria. If I could have designed my own "perfect brolly" I don't think I could have done it any better.
I have a skull cap for it, but because I don't fish overnighters during the winter months, I have never even taken it out of the box! I bought it to give me a little extra protection on really sunny days, but with the two built in vents ended up realising I don't actually need it.
Buy with confidence.

Trakker are going to be releasing a social cap for the tempest brolly 100T next year so will give you even more room at the front if you wanted to add extra space

I have the 100t and the 2 man cayman.

I find getting my wide bed in with sons stealth is ok but requires a bit of angling beds and thought in the Cayman.
but that is trumped by it going up so quickly for a 2 man.

the 100T is even quicker but much less space than the 2 man cayman.
However, I don't think it will be anywhere near deep enough for two beds. As its a V shape at the back.

I once tried it with a full-size pioneer and rare extended winter skin. Half an hour later and we had a cramped bivvy with no room to walk into bed. We had to crawl over. However, at the time, we had a huge heavy 5 rib 2 man bivvy that was too much hassle for even 48 hours so I figured it was worth a shot.

I've considered the social caps etc. but that's going to take away from the speed of setup. Looks like a faff
might as well stick to the Cayman. Which is big, sturdy, lightweight, and with two ribs goes up as quick as an M3
and much quicker than my Pioneer.

Great review mate 🙏🏼 Maybe I'm better just keeping my cayman and saving the money

Apparently the new social caps go up pretty quickly bud, I'll be getting one when it comes out but only to use when my daughter comes, any 3 day plus sessions or my french trips, for most of the time I won't take it but will come in handy 3/4 times a year for me

from what it looks like. kid or partner crossways in the back. angler at 45 degrees at the front with the social.

to be honest. my advice is really only based on the guy already having the cayman. but then I liked mine so much
I got vents put in both skins.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
