Product Information
Full details
The Trakker Tempest 150 Skull Cap is an essential accessory for anglers using the Tempest 150 Bivvy who need increased weather protection and improved internal climate control. It adds a protective peak to the front of the shelter and creates a thermal second skin to combat condensation, though it does require the specific Tempest 150 Bivvy frame for attachment. This durable, water-resistant cover is designed to remain in place during pack-down, offering a convenient, high-performance solution for long-term comfort in varying lake conditions.

FAQs
Can I leave the skull cap on when packing away the bivvy?
Yes, the Tempest 150 Skull Cap is designed to be left in place on the bivvy frame during pack-down, making future setup faster.
Will this fit a Tempest 100 or 200 model?
No, this product is specifically engineered for the dimensions and frame of the Tempest 150 Bivvy.
Does it provide full enclosure like an overwrap?
No, the skull cap only covers the upper portion of the shelter. It provides less coverage than a full overwrap but is faster to set up and lighter to carry.
How do I clean the fabric?
Use a damp cloth with water. Avoid chemical cleaners or washing machines, as these can compromise the waterproof coating.
What is the benefit of the peak?
The peak shields the entrance from rain, allowing you to watch the water without needing to close the front door entirely.
Is the material waterproof?
Yes, it is constructed from high-performance 10,000mm Hydrostatic Head fabric.
Troubleshooting
Skull cap appears loose or saggy
Check that all attachment points are properly clipped to the bivvy frame and tighten the tension straps until the fabric is taut.
Internal condensation is still present
Ensure the bivvy has adequate ventilation at the rear or sides; while the skull cap helps, airflow is essential to remove trapped moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for the Trakker Tempest 150 Bivvy. It will not fit other Tempest models due to the specific frame geometry of the 150 size.
Setup: To install, ensure the bivvy is fully erected. The skull cap is draped over the top section of the frame and secured using the integrated attachment points. Ensure all straps are tightened to create a taut fit.
Care: To maintain the 10,000mm Hydrostatic Head, always ensure the cap is completely dry before storing it in a carry bag for long periods. If the fabric becomes dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the water-resistant coating.
