Has anyone figured out a way of keeping their vapour peak attached when packing their frontier away? I've just moved from a tempest, where it's so simple, to this where it needs to be removed or bundled in before packing the bivvy away. Small thing I know but it's a pain in the rear.

Worse case I'll 3D print something similar to the Trakker brackets.

Thanks.

I know a few people who leave it on. They have tried explaining to me how, but It just makes a tangled up mess for me. They loosen the rear straps and undo the side ones I think. I find it as much of a faf I just remove it.

It certainly is a faff. The difference is Trakker have the loops on the top pole rather than Fox on the bottom one. It makes a big difference when separating the poles. I'll draw up and print some clips like the Trakker ones and see.

It takes a minute to put on and a minute to take off. Why leave on.

Because I'm used to it being left on and not needing to take it off, fold it up etc.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
