I have the Rs100 bivvy + skull cap + magnetic mozzie mesh.
Can't fault it. Perfect size. Quick up, quick down.

How are people getting on with their tempest rs bivvies in the long term?
I was going to go for the brolly but saw the rs 100 bivvy is £799... the rs brolly with the same infill, groundsheet and sticks is about £730 ish.
Not much between them cost wise but the bivvy is 5 cm taller and a bit bigger overall, it's a tough choice.
I think Trakker will probably release a new version in spring next year as well 
Did anyone else have to make a decision between the brolly and bivvy and were you happy with your choice?

I was after a tempet 100 aquatexx ev bivvy for ages. Keeping my eyes on sales etc as i refuse to pay what they wanted. Got the bivvy, skull cap and skull wrap, and pretty sure the mozzy mesh for £550 when angling direct sold them off cheap when the rs was due out.
Read a few stories about the material going funny when damp, but its been spot on for me.
They will no doubt bring out an improved material and add a few £100 to the price soon.
The new nylon tempest should br decent. That nylon on my 100 brolly v2 was decent, and dried really quick

My mate has just bought a rs and i was surprised how thin and cheap the material looked compared to my ultralite 100. Some cracking deals on the ultralite with skull cap at the moment as well. Paid £500 for mine but seen them as low as £450 which is the bargain of the year with how much a top end bivvy costs these days.

Any inside or just between bivvy top and vapour shield?

It will still get condensation,you just won't be see it.If you pack bivvy away with vapour shield fitted and it's still damp it will end up wrecked.It will trap between the two layers and go mouldy

So basically the RS150 with vapour shield/peak is still bad for condensation?

Yep to this. Had mine more than a year and its brilliant. No condensation, great space, quick to put up.
Not saying the Tempests aren't good but I do love my ultralite

Ultralite 100 still rules then! Thicker material / solid build / zero condensation / permanent skull cap / decent rake & door height. . . get one before they discontinue again!

Vapour shield won't stop it just cover it up. Plus also get it down sides. Needs an overwrap..I just think the material isnt as good or as thick as the aquatexx ev.

Yeah that is basically in line with what I have read and what people have said. Having a look online the RS150 vapour shield is also sold out everywhere lol so people must of been dying to get hold of them.
