Lol I can get a new Rs 100 for £450 so there's not much in the price considering the hide needs a front and hd sheet.

Just need something small for upcoming French holiday where me and a mate going France with 2 x boats and all gear all in my amarok. Even bought an mf60 compact for the occasion and Im 21 stone 😂😂😂

Thinking could possible use the Rs for weekend trips too but the problem is I also have a T1 pro and Blockhouse Pro

I have the Rs100 bivvy + skull cap + magnetic mozzie mesh.

Can't fault it. Perfect size. Quick up, quick down.

How are people getting on with their tempest rs bivvies in the long term?

I was going to go for the brolly but saw the rs 100 bivvy is £799... the rs brolly with the same infill, groundsheet and sticks is about £730 ish.

Not much between them cost wise but the bivvy is 5 cm taller and a bit bigger overall, it's a tough choice.

I think Trakker will probably release a new version in spring next year as well

Did anyone else have to make a decision between the brolly and bivvy and were you happy with your choice?

I was after a tempet 100 aquatexx ev bivvy for ages. Keeping my eyes on sales etc as i refuse to pay what they wanted. Got the bivvy, skull cap and skull wrap, and pretty sure the mozzy mesh for £550 when angling direct sold them off cheap when the rs was due out.
Read a few stories about the material going funny when damp, but its been spot on for me.

They will no doubt bring out an improved material and add a few £100 to the price soon.

The new nylon tempest should br decent. That nylon on my 100 brolly v2 was decent, and dried really quick

My mate has just bought a rs and i was surprised how thin and cheap the material looked compared to my ultralite 100. Some cracking deals on the ultralite with skull cap at the moment as well. Paid £500 for mine but seen them as low as £450 which is the bargain of the year with how much a top end bivvy costs these days.

It will still get condensation,you just won't be see it.If you pack bivvy away with vapour shield fitted and it's still damp it will end up wrecked.It will trap between the two layers and go mouldy
