What are these like, I have a discontinued Trakker bivvy but Cyprinus do a skull cap for it. What's the quality like, do they fit OK? Any feedback welcome.

I have one on my v2 brolly and I used to have a trakker one on my composite...apart from slightly different colour cannot see much difference

They should all fit ok as there made in the same factory as the trakker bivvy's so they have all the templates,I have the Cyprus overwrap for my v2 tempest and it fits well and the materials decent just wish they used anti twist pole that runs over the front

I have a V1 tempest brolly, bought the Cyprinus skullcap for it last year that was advertised as fitting my shelter.
It's on there and usable but it's more of a faff than it should be. The clips absolutely will not fit on the upper poles (I've tried to the point of them breaking), but it still works with them on the bottom poles.
The centre pole on the front isn't long enough, so when the cap is set up it's literally only just in, it's like it needs a 25-50mm extension.
So in short it works, for how much I'll use it, it wasn't worth sending back and then searching for a trakker original which are like rocking horse poo.

I have one on my V2 brolly and it fits and works perfectly. There is a slight colour difference but I can happily live with that

I wouldn't worry, I have the genuine Trakker cap on my V2 bivvy and it's a slightly different colour

Thanks all for the replies. Final question, can you leave them on the bivvy when it's packed away like the Trakker ones?
