Right..... bought one of these a few weeks ago after I succumbed and got a tempest for ease of election, cough! Put it up for first time today and there's no front panel? Is this right because all the ads and pics have photos of them with a front panel. Anyone able to shed any light on this? If they don't come with the front panel, it's a bloody piss take by trakker.

Yes the photos are misleading by trakker but you use the front panel from your main shelter to zip on the front of the social cap

Im sure it says in one of the videos that you can fit an infil from whatever brolly/bivvy its for. But is a seperate purchase with the brollys.

I havent seen a picture of one with a front panel.

Does the one from your tempest fit onto it?

Thanks for the clarification. All the photo's and ads show them with a door. This is very misleading as the original utility fronts did have a door.
Where does it say you can fit the infill panel from the bivvy? I haven't seen that. Feel like raising a dispute with credit card company... it isn't as advertised....

I cant say ive seen any adverts that lead me to believe it came with a door. Its made pretty clear in this video, presented by mr dynamic himself

Trakkers videos for the aquatexx ev range. Product photo's on the website, the know your shelter pack that comes with it. No mention of having to use the panel from the bivvy

I wouldn't expect a door with it, most of the pics on trakkers website don't show a front on it, a couple do but the majority dont. I'd assume the ones showing a front on show are just to show a front can go on. The social cap video on their site also mentions a front can be added to the cap from the shelter
Are you sure?
