Troubleshooting
Difficulty fitting the cap over the bivvy frame
Ensure the main bivvy is fully tensioned and pegged correctly before attempting to fit the skull cap.
Condensation still forming inside
Check that the twin rear vents are open to allow adequate airflow and verify that the cap is correctly tensioned to maintain the gap between layers.
Material feels loose in high winds
Adjust the tensioning straps at the attachment points to ensure a taut fit across the entire frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This skull cap is intended solely for use with the Pioneer 100 Bivvy Aquatexx EV 1.0. To set it up, drape the cap over the main frame, ensuring the eyelets align with the bivvy’s existing mounting points. Once secured, use the built-in straps to tension the material. Regarding care, always ensure the cap is completely dry before storing it in the included carrybag to prevent mildew. If the fabric becomes soiled, clean it with a damp cloth and mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid using heavy chemicals or power washers, as these can compromise the 25000mm hydrostatic head rating.
