FAQs
Can I leave the Skull Cap attached when packing away the shelter?
It is recommended to remove the cap before folding the main shelter to ensure everything packs away cleanly and to prevent stress on the attachment points.
Does this provide 100% waterproof protection?
The Aquatexx fabric is highly water repellent and designed to withstand heavy rain, effectively keeping the entrance area dry.
Will this fit a standard Tempest 100 or older model?
No, this is specifically engineered for the Tempest RS 100 version.
How do I store the Skull Cap?
The product comes with its own Aquatexx drawstring bag. Always fold it loosely when dry to preserve the fabric's performance.
Does the magnetic strap affect electronic bite alarms?
The magnetic straps are designed for rod security and are safe for use near standard fishing gear, though it is best to avoid direct contact with sensitive electronic screens.
Troubleshooting
Skull cap appears loose or baggy
Ensure the cap is properly pulled taut over the main shelter ribs and correctly aligned with the guttering system.
Water pooling on top of the peak
Check that the cap is positioned evenly and that the shelter frame is fully tensioned to allow for proper runoff via the integrated gutters.

Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity of the Aquatexx fabric, always ensure the cap is completely dry before packing it away in the included drawstring bag. If it becomes soiled, clean it with a soft sponge and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents or machine wash the fabric, as this can damage the waterproof coating.
