FAQs
Is this compatible with other Tempest models?
This Social Cap is specifically designed for the Tempest RS 100 and may not fit other models properly.
Does it include the Infill Panel?
No, the Infill or Insect Panel must be sourced from your existing Tempest RS 100 setup.
Can I leave the Social Cap attached while packing down?
It is recommended to remove the Social Cap before packing down your shelter to ensure everything fits into the storage bags correctly.
What is the benefit of the black-out pigment?
The black-out pigment reduces light ingress, keeping the shelter darker for sleeping and preventing excessive heat buildup in direct sunlight.
What is the frame made of?
The frame consists of 16mm pre-formed, black powder-coated aluminium poles.
Troubleshooting
Social Cap feels loose or droopy
Adjust the tension strap to ensure the fabric is pulled taut across the frame.
Difficulty zipping on the Infill or Insect Panel
Ensure the Social Cap is aligned correctly and that the shelter is not sitting on uneven ground, which can cause frame misalignment.
Water pooling on the canopy
Reposition the T-pegs to increase the pitch of the cap, ensuring the material is taut and the slope is steep enough to shed water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, drape the Social Cap over the top of the existing Tempest RS 100 frame and secure the 16mm aluminium poles into the allocated slots. Use the provided tension strap to ensure a taut fit, which is crucial for water run-off and preventing the material from flapping in the wind. Always ensure the shelter is correctly pegged before attaching the cap. For care, ensure the fabric is completely dry before packing it away in the zipped carry bag to prevent mildew. Wipe down the aluminium poles with a damp cloth if they become soiled with bankside mud.
