I've just had an email from cyprinus telling me they have taken a design from aqua, improved it, and slashed the price.

Maybe they should take a leaf out of Kordas book and call themselves Cyprinus Developments from now on.

Then that must be a copy of the Pioneer, right? Oehhhhh, that would be nice in DPM.

I am a bit confused over these copies .... The Bunker weighs 8.5kg without Groundsheet (10kg+ with groundsheet) ... that is very heavy for such a small bivvy. The Aqua Atom + weighs 6.3kg (8.2kg with groundsheet ... So the Cyprinus version which I agree looks very similar to the Atom+ but weighs approx 35% more .... Where is the difference coming from

God I hope not.
I'm hoping it's going to look more like the tempest than the pioneer, as i think the pioneer looks hideous but that's just my opinion

I just hope they make it a decent height.. all these ridiculously low bivvies are pointless.. length and width yes makes sense but why knock 10cm off the height which makes them only good for hobbits?

Agreed. Height is hardly taking up more
Footprint. But cutting it does mean less material
In poles and fabric but you can still boast that
It takes all your kit.

Anymore update on this?
I'm about to sell my composite v2 to fund it or get the 2man compact..
I'm interested to know which version of the tempest and which material and the cost of it

Yes me to as I'm on the verge of getting a new bivvy so really want to see what this one is all about.
Hopefully we will see it soon as if not I'm going to have to purchase a tempest

If you search the cyprinus site for typhoon a couple of tempest brolly items come up
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
