who has tried both and can compare?
if you were going to buy one from scratch which would you go for?

Got both if you do a lot of winter fishing the Skullwrap definitely cuts down on condensation so worth the extra cost imho

Cap wrap for me, better coverage allowing the shelter underneath to breath all over, quick to put up and does not act like a sale in string winds

I've got a V2 bivvy with skull cap which always stays attached, i managed to find a full bivvy wrap/winterskin for it and this just throws over the top of the bivvy and skull cap with just a few extra pegs at the front. £80 bargain off the bay. If this helps.
My cousin ordered the skull wrap off of Cyprinus and has been waiting 2 months for it to appear, must still be stuck in Suez Canal.

Ive had both on a 100T and rate the wrap as way better.
It goes on in seconds and I just loop it over the same pegs I use for the tempest itself.
The vents also line up with the ones on the tempest which I tend to leave open all the time now.
Condensation is zero.
It also doesnt seem to make my 100T that much darker inside as the front panel is either off, mozzi door or letterbox so you dont lose too much light.
I also like the way the elastic loops can be easily replaced when they eventually give up.
Its a stupid price really though but thats the only drawback I can see.

Yeh I've now done away with the skull cap In preference to the skull wrap.

Thanks guys. I think IF I get one it will be the wrap

I went for the skull wrap, glad I did. Does cut down the condensation, but does not eliminate it completely. Go's on in a minute, just throw it over, push in the three canopy poles and clip it down to the existing pegs then there's an additional peg at either side of the front.
Just done two nights in mine, last night and this morning it chucked it down. When I put everything away the brolly was only a bit damp around the bottom, so only the wrap needs needs drying out.
