Trakker Skull Caps
Ever since the first Tempest rolled off the Trakker production line we’ve all been asking if they’ll ever be a front peaked version. Well, now there is...
The Tempest family checks almost all the boxes: super strong and sturdy; versatile and comfy. But all five siblings have always missed one key attribute: a peaked version to offer even more protection from the rain whilst enabling us to keep the bivvy door open and an eye on the water.
Fast-forward to right now and you’ll find part of the Autumn/Winter collection is called Skull Caps. The four sizes cover all five models of Tempest, and not only do they offer that additional protection from the weather, they also add a second skin to the top of the Tempest which helps combat condensation and retain heat. And best of all, unlike an overwrap, the Skull Cap can be left in place when the bivvy is packed down.
Skull Caps fit these models and look to pay around the following: Tempest Bivvy System (£99.99), Tempest Bivvy System XL (£119.99), Tempest Air Bivvy (£99.99), Tempest Composite Bivvy (£89.99) and Tempest Brolly (£79.99). trakkerproducts.com

For autumn/winter 2016, Trakker takes a foray into a new territory: waders – plus they have all of this to keep you warm, snug and comfortable…
Bivvy Utility Front
Total genius. The Utility Front simply clips on to the front of your Tempest Composite or Tempest Brolly to give
a large extra working space – i.e. it transforms from a one-man to a two-man home.
12ins Pegs
Four heavy-duty, 12-inch bivvy pegs which are ideal for the front and back bivvy-brolly pegging points.
Levelite Longback Chair
Unofficially the world’s most comfortable chair. It’s incredibly lightweight too – almost half the weight of competitors chairs of a similar size lightweight.
NXG Chilla Bag
New high-density foam with much higher walls to retain more insulation. Available in two sizes: Standard and Large.
NXG XL PVA pouch
30% larger than Trakker’s small PVA pouch, it’s designed to take PVA tubes, baiting tools and features 10 internal pockets.
Core Multi-Suit
The star of the collection in our eyes. A three-piece, super-warm multi suit which will retail for just £99.99…
Thermal Ripstop Combats
Twin-layered classic-style combat trousers. Whilst the outside is made from a robust, hardwearing ripstop outer material, expect total warmth on the inside thanks to the ultra-warm micro-fleece lining.
Joggers
Super soft, super loose fit and available in two styles: Earth and Aztec.
Beanies
Four styles available: Swamp, Ochre, Earth and Aztec.
N2 Chest Waders
Trakker’s finally dipped their toe into the wader market and the outcome is light, comfortable and functional. Full review next month.
