Hi all
Anyone out there that can share any light as to which is better to reduce condensation?
I don't really like the faff of a skull cap and wonder if the vapour shelf would be better to reduce condensation in a rs brolly put up with it last winter. I keep the door up in all weathers and only use the side that my cookers on out so it's not as bad as if I had it all shut up, but there's nothing worse than getting a bald head wet when sitting on your bedchair

Why is a skull cap a faff? They stay on the brolly and take all of 20 seconds to sort out. Much easier than a vapour shield

My old tempest had a skull cap fitted since day 1. All it took was to push 3 poles in and tighten 5 straps. Never suffered with damp baldy head syndrome

The inner clip in vapour shield will just hide the condensation it won't stop it their just a gimmick . Your better of with the outer skull cap that will stop condensation better

Okay cheers all I've never had a skull cap on a tempest just looked like a faff loosen it off and tightening on back up, maybe I'm wrong had one on my pioneer from day 1 but never had to do anything with it even left the 3 front poles in as never used the bag. Cheers looks like I'll get the skull cap
