Hi all,

In Holland I can get the full overwarp for the Tempest Brolly V2 aka Brolly 100 for 109 euro at discount. (was 149-159 euro)
I suspect the Trakker is going to discontinue the full overwrap in favour of the skull wrap.

What is your advice: the full wrap or the new skull wrap?
At the moment the skull wrap for the Brolly 100 (V2) is 180 euro.

Is het worth the price difference?
The skull wrap has the extra peak., but the full wrap gives better protection?

One more question: the skull wrap for the Brolly V2 does not have mesh vents at the rear, but the new Brolly 2021 (V3) does have rear vents, so will there be an new Skull wrap model with rear vents?

Regards.

I have both the skull cap and overwrap (cyprinus) for the original tempest brolly (V2) , you do get a lot more front protection with the overwrap (if the wind turns and catches you out its handy, which obviously isn't available with the skull cap, but there isn't a lot of space with the overwrap zipped up and the skull cap gives you more cover. I tend to bring both (and the utility front) and decide if the weather merits the overwrap, otherwise the ease and effectiveness of the skull cap is pretty good for 85% of the time.

Is the V2 brolly the same poles as the 100 ? I have got a V1 which I know are the same as V2
Are you sure?
