Product Information
Full details
The Trakker Tempest 200 Shelter is a premium, high-capacity bivvy designed for dedicated carp anglers who prioritize quick setup times and spacious interior accommodations for two. Its patented, fatigue-resistant block system allows for rapid assembly, providing an expansive footprint that comfortably houses two bedchairs and essential gear, though its 18kg total weight makes it better suited for static sessions rather than mobile, minimalist angling.

FAQs
Can the Tempest 200 be used by one person?
Yes, it can be used by one person, though it provides more space than a standard single bivvy. It is ideal if you prefer extra room for equipment.
What is the total weight of the shelter?
The total weight is approximately 18kg, which includes the bivvy, pegs, and the groundsheet.
Is the groundsheet included?
Yes, the Tempest 200 is supplied with a heavy-duty groundsheet.
Are the Inner Capsule and Skull Cap included?
No, these items are sold separately as optional upgrades.
How do I maintain the water resistance of the fabric?
Keep the fabric clean and, if necessary after many years of use, apply a dedicated reproofing spray designed for bivvy materials.
What are the dimensions of the shelter?
The dimensions are approximately 170cm (H) x 310cm (D) x 375cm (W).
Troubleshooting
Difficulty locking the central block mechanism
Ensure that the shelter is placed on level ground and that the poles are fully extended before attempting to lock the block.
Condensation forming inside the shelter
Ensure both rear vents are open to encourage cross-ventilation and consider using the optional Inner Capsule.
Shelter feels unstable in high wind
Check that the tension strap is pulled tight and that all pegs are driven deep into the ground at a 45-degree angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the shelter, unfold the central block mechanism and lock the poles into position; the anti-twist system will guide the poles into place. Ensure you use the provided T-pegs at all anchor points to maintain the shelter's profile. For compatibility, the Tempest 200 is specifically designed to work with the 201548 Skull Cap for added overhead protection and the 201549 Inner Capsule to eliminate condensation and improve heat retention. To care for your shelter, always allow the fabric to dry completely before packing it into the carry bag to prevent mold and mildew growth. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh detergents or pressure washers which could damage the water-resistant coating.
