The advance 100 is definitely smaller than the v2.. I bought mine on the strength of the original advert which stated that it was the same size as the v2 ... it wasn't!
that aside ... I've got the insect panel and found that unless your in a perfectly flat swim (and your bivvy is put up perfectly square) it doesnt work to well.. so I don't use it.

The magnetic door doesn't close on its own, as suggested. And between the magnets the fabric gapes allowing insects in. Give it a swerve

I was thinking of buying the magnetic insect panel (DPM) for my Tempest 150. So I can leave in the summer the original full infill panel in the car to cut down on weight

In the earlier posts in this topic some say it doesn't work as good as suggested by Trakker.
Are there people who have good experience with the 100 or 150 Magnetic insect panel?
And can you charge trough the magnetic opening when you have a take in the middle of the night?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
