I've got a trakker 100 & 150, but I'm finding it a struggle to fan out the legs.
I'm not sure if this is because I'm only 5'7", so when it comes to the step of pulling it into my chest I have to take it really high off the ground & really stretch to get it anything close to fanned out.
I love the system as its still a lot more convenient than what I had before, but I worry that I'm not always getting it fanned out enough & damaging the bivvy legs.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips for putting it up?
Or alternatively is this easier to do on competing bivvies like the quest defier etc.?
Appreciate it any advice you guys can give

Ive got the RS150 and had the T100, I'm 5'11" and don't have any problem fanning it out, it's just a question of getting used to it, not too sure what you are experiencing, but the T100 was a doddle and the RS150 is slightly more difficult, simply because it's bigger,.
You can fan it out as much as you can from a standing position then go around it fanning it out more when partly done, probably not that easy in a wind, or (if windy) put a peg in one side and fan it out from there, I've found it easier using the tension strap (or clip it to the groundsheet if using one.
I'd give it a go a few times in your garden or on the bank - it does get easier

Peg the back three poles down where you want the bivvy then fan it out,just dont go mad with it.I saw a guy do it this way who was quite short and he did it no problem
