Okay cheers all I’ve never had a skull cap on a tempest just looked like a faff loosen it off and tightening on back up, maybe I’m wrong had one on my pioneer from day 1 but never had to do anything with it even left the 3 front poles in as never used the bag. Cheers looks like I’ll get the skull cap

The inner clip in vapour shield will just hide the condensation it won’t stop it their just a gimmick . Your better of with the outer skull cap that will stop condensation better

My old tempest had a skull cap fitted since day 1. All it took was to push 3 poles in and tighten 5 straps. Never suffered with damp baldy head syndrome

Why is a skull cap a faff? They stay on the brolly and take all of 20 seconds to sort out. Much easier than a vapour shield

Hi all
Anyone out there that can share any light as to which is better to reduce condensation?
I don’t really like the faff of a skull cap and wonder if the vapour shelf would be better to reduce condensation in a rs brolly put up with it last winter. I keep the door up in all weathers and only use the side that my cookers on out so it’s not as bad as if I had it all shut up, but there’s nothing worse than getting a bald head wet when sitting on your bedchair
