I know the 150 is marketed as 1.5 man but does anyone know if 2 bedchairs will fit in?

I have the rs150, you can fit 2 bed chairs in but not much else, I do have a flatliner though

Might do the job then, it's only to take one of the kids with me- got one of the small Ridgemonkey bedchairs and it'll only be overnight in reasonable weather.

With the social cap it makes a brilliant 2-maner

If your looking for something cheaper, just get the 100T i take my little one and fit the trakker rlx along with his junior ridgemonkey and still enough room in there for kit amongst other bits no issues.

I've actually currently got a tempest brolly with a social cap but find the social cap a bit of a faff for a quick night and set up its really long and low, so I'm more or less bent double to get to the back. The brolly is the same footprint as the 100T I believe so I'll try the 2 bedchairs in that.

I swapped from a 100t to a Quest Defier mk3 for overnighters with my daughter. Loads more room, fits 2 bedchairs in easily and the peak helps if it does rain.

Trakker slx 150, fraction of the cost and 2 bedchairs no problem

I had the rs150 briefly after being an avid tempest user. I think the design is superb and also the build quality but they've dropped the ball with the material change. Got so much condensation in it, which wasn't really an issue previously. They need to change back to the old stuff, same as the aqua pioneer. Cutting corners to make it lighter I feel.
Anyway I bought a quest defier mk3 and yes its not same build quality thats quite obvious, not a refined as a tempest but it really does tick most of the boxes. Great size, zip in groundsheet (won't go back to a normal one now) and an overwrap, which i use all the time and just prefer the all green look when on, not a fan of the black mesh on the bivvy itself. Zero condensation and if it rains pack up and actual bivvy is nice and dry. Worth the extra effort.
A very solid bivvy for the money. That said. . I hear of trakker bringing out an overwrap for the rs range so the tackle tart in me might be swayed lol. Or wait until the next incarnation .
