Product Information
Full details
The Trakker Tempest RS Brolly Social Cap is an essential upgrade for dedicated carp anglers who use the Tempest RS Brolly and require additional outdoor living space. It excels by providing a functional 1.2m porch area, significantly improving shelter insulation and ventilation through its dual-side opening design. While it adds substantial versatility, users should note that it increases the total setup weight and footprint, requiring more time to install compared to a standalone brolly.
