Product Information
Full details
The Trakker Tempest RS Brolly Social Cap is an essential expansion accessory for anglers using the Tempest RS shelter system who require extra space for socializing or secure gear storage. By extending the shelter footprint by 120cm, it creates a functional porch area that improves both insulation and condensation management, though it does require additional setup time compared to the standard brolly configuration.

FAQs
Will this fit older Tempest brolly models?
No, this Social Cap is specifically designed for the Tempest RS series.
Can I use an Insect Panel with this?
Yes, you can zip an Insect Panel into the front of the Social Cap for added protection.
Does the cap come with pegs?
The Social Cap utilizes the pegs and anchor points compatible with your existing Tempest RS shelter system.
How do I maintain the water repellency?
Avoid cleaning with soaps; simply wipe with water. If water repellency fades over time, you can apply a standard technical fabric reproofer.
Does it add much weight to my load?
While it adds some weight, it is designed to be lightweight and compact enough for easy transport.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty fitting the cap over the shelter
Ensure the main Tempest RS brolly is fully tensioned before attempting to slide the cap over the top.
Condensation still forming inside
Check that the twin side vents are open and that the gap between the cap and the main shelter is clear to allow for airflow.
Infill panel does not zip on smoothly
Check the zipper teeth for trapped fabric or debris and ensure the Social Cap is square to the main shelter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Social Cap, attach it over the top of the existing Tempest RS shelter following the dedicated anchor points. Ensure the cap is pulled taut to maintain its water-repellent properties. The Social Cap is exclusively compatible with the Tempest RS series. For care, always ensure the fabric is completely dry before folding to prevent mold or mildew growth. Wipe down with a damp, clean cloth to remove mud or debris after sessions. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish.
