Product Information
Full details
The Trakker Tempest 150 Bivvy is designed for the serious carp angler who prioritizes rapid setup and a spacious interior without sacrificing durability. Its primary advantage is the patented quick-erect GRP composite hinge block, which allows for deployment in seconds, though users should note that the 8.35kg base weight requires a steady hand for transport over long distances.

FAQs
What is the hydrostatic head rating of the fabric?
The Tempest 150 features a 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating.
Does it come with a groundsheet?
The standard package includes the shelter, tension strap, carry bag, and T-pegs. Check specific retailer listings if you require the dedicated groundsheet accessory.
Is this bivvy suitable for winter fishing?
Yes, its robust aluminum frame and high-quality waterproof fabric make it very capable for winter use, especially when combined with a wrap.
How much does the shelter weigh?
The shelter itself weighs approximately 8.35kg, excluding additional accessories like pegs and the carry bag.
Can I fit a double bed in this bivvy?
The 150 size is designed to comfortably fit one large bedchair with plenty of space for gear, though a double bed may limit your remaining storage space.
What material is the shelter made from?
The bivvy is constructed from high-quality, durable, and hydrophobic nylon.
Troubleshooting
Frame feels loose or wobbly
Check that the anti-twist pole system is fully locked into position and all connections at the hinge block are seated correctly.
Condensation build-up
Ensure the two large rear vents are fully open and there is adequate airflow passing through the shelter.
Fabric appearing less waterproof over time
Ensure the bivvy is cleaned of debris and dirt; if the hydrophobic coating has worn down, consider applying a dedicated DWR reproofing spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Tempest 150, locate a level surface and release the main hinge block; the frame will naturally extend outward. Ensure all aluminum poles are fully clicked into place before securing with the provided T-pegs. For longevity, always dry the bivvy thoroughly after a wet session to prevent mildew from forming on the hydrophobic fabric. When cleaning, avoid harsh detergents and stick to lukewarm water and a soft sponge. Store in the included carry bag only when the material is completely dry to maintain the fabric's integrity.
