Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Skull Cap waterproof?

Yes, it is manufactured from enhanced Aquatexx fabric, which offers superior water repellency.

Can I leave the Skull Cap on when packing the bivvy?

It is recommended to remove the cap to ensure both the bivvy and the cap dry properly, preventing moisture-related damage.

Will this fit a standard Tempest 200?

No, this version is specifically designed for the Tempest RS 200 model.

Does it come with its own bag?

Yes, it includes a dedicated carry bag for convenient transport.

How does the magnetic rod strap work?

The magnetic straps provide a quick-release solution to securely hold your rods against the side of the bivvy frame while you prepare your rig.

Does it block all light?

The fabric features a black-out pigment that significantly reduces light penetration, helping you stay asleep longer during sunrise.

Troubleshooting

Skull cap feels loose or sagging

Check that all frame attachment points are correctly seated and pull the perimeter tensioning straps until the fabric is taut.

Water pooling on the top

Ensure the cap is properly aligned with the shelter frame; readjust the rear or side pegging points to ensure correct tension across the entire surface.

Magnetic rod straps not holding firmly

Check for debris or dirt on the magnetic surfaces and wipe them clean with a dry cloth.

Pros and Cons

  • Provides extra shade during hot weather
  • Extends the front peak for better weather protection
  • High-performance Aquatexx fabric is durable and breathable
  • Easy-to-use magnetic rod retention system

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Skull Cap, ensure the shelter is fully erected. The cap clips onto the existing frame points and is pulled taut to create the necessary air gap. Compatibility is specific to the Tempest RS 200 model. Regarding care, always ensure the cap is completely dry before packing it away in its storage bag to prevent mold or fabric degradation. Clean the Aquatexx material using only a damp cloth and mild, non-detergent soap if necessary, ensuring it is fully air-dried before storage.
