FAQs
Is the Trakker Tempest RS 100 Skull Cap waterproof?
Yes, it is manufactured from enhanced Aquatexx material, which offers superior water repellency.
Does this come with pegs?
The skull cap typically uses the existing shelter framework for tension, but always check your specific package contents.
Can I leave the skull cap on when packing away the shelter?
It is recommended to remove the skull cap before packing the shelter away to avoid damage to the fabric and to ensure the main shelter packs down flat.
Does it fit other Tempest models?
This version is specifically designed for the Tempest RS 100; please check compatibility charts for other models like the RS 150 or older versions.
How does it help with condensation?
It creates a secondary air pocket between the cap and the bivvy roof, which insulates the shelter and keeps the internal temperature more consistent.
Are the magnetic rod straps compatible with all rod diameters?
The magnetic straps are designed to accommodate standard carp rod handles comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Skull cap appears loose or saggy
Check all attachment points to ensure they are fully clipped onto the frame. Adjust the tension straps to tighten the fit.
Water pooling on the cap
Ensure the cap is correctly tensioned and that the shelter is pitched on level ground to allow the improved guttering system to function as designed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Skull Cap is specifically engineered for the Trakker Tempest RS 100. Installation involves clipping the cap securely onto the external frame of the shelter. Ensure the tension is applied evenly across the attachment points to maintain the integrity of the peak's shape. Regarding care, always ensure the fabric is completely dry before folding it away for long-term storage to prevent mildew. If the fabric becomes dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can compromise the water repellency of the Aquatexx material.
