Full details
The Trakker Tempest RS 150 Skull Cap is an essential accessory for dedicated carp anglers using the Tempest RS 150 shelter who want to optimize their bivvy performance in variable weather conditions. It provides a significant boost to insulation and condensation control while extending the peak for better coverage, though users should note it is a specific add-on that requires the primary shelter to function. This cap is engineered from high-performance materials to keep your shelter cooler in the heat and drier during the wet, ensuring comfort throughout your session.

FAQs
Will this fit the standard Tempest 150?
No, this is specifically engineered for the Tempest RS 150 version.
Does it help with condensation?
Yes, by adding a second layer of fabric, it creates an air gap that significantly reduces condensation drip inside the shelter.
Can I leave the cap on when packing away the shelter?
It is recommended to remove the Skull Cap before packing down the main shelter to avoid damaging the material or the magnetic straps.
How do I clean the Aquatexx fabric?
Use clean, cold water and a soft sponge. Avoid detergents, as they can strip the water-repellent properties.
Are the rod straps magnetic?
Yes, it features two magnetic rod straps to keep your setup secure.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the top of the cap
Adjust the tension straps at the rear and sides to ensure the fabric is pulled tight and the guttering is angled correctly for runoff.
Cap feels loose or flaps in the wind
Check all connection points and ensure the peak tensioner is fully engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach, drape the Skull Cap over the front of the erected Tempest RS 150. Ensure the internal attachment points align with the shelter's frame. Secure the tension points to pull the fabric taut; proper tension is vital to ensure that the improved guttering functions correctly during rainfall.
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed to fit the Trakker Tempest RS 150 model (MPN: 200542). It will not fit standard Tempest 150 or other variants.
Care: Always ensure the material is completely dry before packing away to prevent mildew. Wipe down with a damp cloth if dirty; do not use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the water-repellent coating of the Aquatexx fabric.
