The fastest, “easiest to pitch” shelter just got even better with the introduction of the phenomenal Tempest RS 200.
At the heart of this two-man fishing bivvy is the renowned patented hinge lock, which allows for ease and speed of setup.
Setup time, usability and functionality have been further improved with the Rapid Knuckle system, which allows all five main poles to lock into place with a single, effortless action.
Simple and safe, building your shelter has never been easier.
Further enhancements to the Rapid Shelter include an integrated peak to minimise water ingress into and around the door and this peak can be further increased to allow for even greater coverage with the addition of a head shield.
The rear of the shelter has been made flatter than its predecessor, achieving an optimal balance between internal storage space, bathroom fitment, and aerodynamics.
Airflow through the shelter has been improved with Adaptive Ventilation® on six vents (four rear and two front), facilitating airflow even when it's raining.
To keep cool in the height of summer, the four rear vents can be fixed to create shaded areas which, when used in combination with a Skull Cap, can reduce the internal temperature by several degrees.
For optimal storage, there are four internal pockets, two on each side and two on the front.
The ones in the front have a hanging loop where you can store essentials like your receiver or even your jacket for a quick exit in inclement weather.
