Product Information
Full details
The Trakker Tempest 100 is designed for the serious carp angler who demands efficiency and durability in a compact, quick-erect shelter. Its primary advantage is the patented GRP composite hinge block, which allows for near-instant deployment, making it ideal for sessions where mobility is key. While it offers excellent protection against the elements with its 10000mm hydrostatic head fabric, users should note that the internal space is optimized for a single large bedchair, making it less suitable for two-person setups.

FAQs
Can two people fit in the Tempest 100?
No, the 100 model is specifically designed as a one-person bivvy for a single large bedchair.
Does it come with a groundsheet?
The standard package includes the bivvy, tension strap, carry bag, and T-pegs. Check specific retailer listings as optional groundsheets may be bundled or sold separately.
What is the weight of the Tempest 100?
The approximate weight of the shelter is 6.6kg, excluding floor and pegs.
Can I add a skull cap later?

How do I maintain the waterproof rating?
Keep the fabric clean of debris and store it in a dry environment. Avoid cleaning with soap or solvents that may damage the waterproof PU coating.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty locking the hinge block during setup
Ensure the tension strap is fully loosened before attempting to engage the hinge block.
Excessive condensation inside the bivvy
Ensure both rear vents are fully opened to facilitate airflow and keep internal gear slightly away from the walls.
Bivvy feels unstable in high winds
Double-check that all frame joints are fully extended and ensure all T-pegs are driven into the ground at a 45-degree angle away from the bivvy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: extend the central hub until it clicks into place, then expand the frame arms. Secure the base with the provided T-pegs and tension strap for maximum rigidity. The Tempest 100 is compatible with several optional accessories, including an insect panel and an inner capsule for full enclosure comfort. To care for your bivvy, always ensure the fabric is completely dry before packing it away in the included carry bag to prevent mold or mildew growth. Clean the exterior with a soft brush or sponge and plain water; avoid harsh chemical detergents which can strip the waterproof coating.
