Heads up for anyone who is interested........4-5hr auctions happening at the moment.
I managed to pick up a Typhoon storm bivvy and matching Cap wrap for stupid money! All received and very much like a V2 brolly but with rear vents and front panel. Set it up and have Been all over it and The seams etc are spot on like my M4 2 man......

Hope you enjoy it if they used stronger poles and block system they would be a amazing bivvy especially for the price

I watched a YouTube video first to see what the first version was and then I checked with cyprinus after speaking to you to see if it had changed, which it has. The 3 poles that go to the block have big collars / thicker poles as part of the pole attachments to the block, the anti twist poles are larger with square inserts and the front 3 poles use dual thumb screws for no slipping.......the price I paid for it is ridiculous so 12 months of it being in warranty would be fine.......
I saw a MK3 F&L go for stupid money too, had to resist!!!

I won a Fast and Light Mk3 for £110 almost a year ago and its made my bivvy redundant..I coupled it up with a over wrap and its been perfect love it...
A quality item made in the same warehouses as other brands.

I bought one of their original fast and lights at auction. It has been great.
I was told not to worry about trying to win the auction. Just bid up to what you want to pay and if that is enough for them they will contact you after you have “lost” and offer you a deal.
I don't know if they still do this but it worked for me!

It's worth having a go with the bot to negotiate a price. Only to put in extremely low and unrealistic offers and see what amusing insults it throws at you.
Done the bot thing and got 18% off a K2 a few weeks back for over nighters.
Had a few beers on Thursday and got one of their fast and lights for £110 after looking at what other bids had won for day sessions and taking my Bro.
Can't fault the price I got it for and more than pleased.
K2 opened up today as the rain has settled and I've had time and all seems very good. No pin holes as some have suggested and seems well constructed.
Really pleased with it so far so only time will tell.
F&L will be with me on Monday so will see what it's like then. Fingers crossed it will be ok as per the K2.p
If they add sleep systems and bags, after Chrimbo in the January sales (please Cyprinus) might muddle the finances for one of those too.
👍

2 x F&L MK3 brollys just went for £85, Skull Cap for V2 for £25.......

85 pounds is not much, but if it's done after a year, it's still much.

Yeah it's a shame it's all hit and miss with Cyprinus. I would really like a max head room typhoon in DPM but for the risk of the zips going in a year like a brolly system I had off them, I am going to just spend a bit more and get a frontier X instead.

Zips gone Within a year? What did Customer service say as that is pretty damn good by all accounts and would have been in warranty still?

Well just over a year therefore out of warranty so didn't bother. Zip went on the letterbox door so it won't zip down without busting open it will only zip up from bottom.

I got a storm on Saturday. Not entirely sure why I bought it exactly, definitely don't need it but was so cheap..
