Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Mobile carp and coarse anglers. The compact footprint and manageable pack-down suit anglers who move swims or fish shorter sessions.
- One-man anglers wanting dependable weather cover. It gives you bedchair space, extra storage and useful ventilation without the bulk of a bigger bivvy.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers carrying a mountain of kit. The shelter is practical rather than cavernous, so bulky bags and tackle boxes will soon make it feel tight.
- Two anglers sharing a shelter. This is designed around one bedchair, not a two-man setup or social bivvy.

Quick verdict
A cracking compact shelter for mobile anglers
The Trakker Tempest 100 Brolly is a smart one-man shelter for anglers who want reliable cover without lugging a full bivvy around. Its 10,000mm waterproof rating, compact pack-down and quick-pitch design make plenty of sense for short sessions and roving work.
It’s not palatial, and you’ll need to be tidy with your kit, but that’s part of the deal. For a single bedchair, rods and the essentials, it’s a bob-on option with enough weather protection for proper UK conditions.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Trakker Tempest 100 Brolly
If you like keeping things mobile on the bank, the Trakker Tempest 100 Brolly is right up your street. It’s a one-man shelter built around a single bedchair, with enough extra room for the bits you don’t want sat out in the rain. No giant footprint. No daft amount of faff. Just a compact brolly that gets you covered quickly.
That makes it a cracking choice for short carp sessions, overnight trips and roving work where you’re not sure which swim will produce. You can carry it without feeling like you’re dragging a garden shed through the mud, then get it standing without turning the whole peg upside down. Dead handy when the weather’s closing in and the rods are already clipped up.
The main structure uses 16mm preformed black powder-coated aluminium poles, paired with Trakker’s advanced GRP composite block. There’s also an anti-twist pole system, which is the sort of practical detail you appreciate when you’re pitching on uneven ground or trying to get sorted before a cheeky shower arrives. It’s all about keeping the setup straightforward.
The shelter fabric is 210D polyester with a 10,000mm hydrostatic head waterproof rating. In plain English, that’s serious wet-weather cover for normal UK fishing. Whether you’re dealing with a long drizzle, a sharp summer downpour or one of those grim sideways showers, the material gives you a solid roof over your head and kit.
At 125cm high, 250cm wide and 230cm deep, it’s not a palace. That’s important to understand before you buy. It’s designed for one bedchair and additional storage, not a full spread of tackle boxes, brew gear, spare clothing and every bait tub known to man. Keep your kit tidy and the layout makes sense. Go wild with luggage and it’ll feel a bit snug.
The brolly format does give you a useful balance between protection and access. You can keep an eye on the water, reach your rods quickly and stay connected with the swim instead of hiding away in a huge enclosed bivvy. For margin work or a peg where you need to react fast, that open, practical feel is a real plus.
Ventilation comes from twin rear vents, designed to improve airflow and reduce condensation. That matters on colder nights, especially when damp gear, wet clothing and your own body heat are all adding moisture inside. They won’t magically defeat every bit of condensation, but opening them up should help keep the atmosphere less clammy.
The supplied extras are nicely aimed at everyday bank life. You get a 210D zipped carrybag, a tension strap and T-pegs, plus dual rod straps. Those rod straps are a proper useful touch when you’re setting up, packing down or trying to keep the rods secure while the shelter goes up around you.
Transport size is around 110 x 25cm, while the shelter itself weighs approximately 5.5kg. Add roughly 0.75kg for the pegs and it’s still a manageable package for most anglers, though it isn’t an ultralight race machine. The payoff is a sturdy, properly protective setup that should feel more reassuring when the forecast turns a bit naff.
Overall, the Trakker Tempest 100 Brolly is about sensible shelter rather than showing off. It gives a single angler a compact footprint, useful weather protection and a tidy pitching system. If you’re happy to be organised with your kit, it’s a bob-on way to stay dry and keep fishing when the sky decides to empty itself.

Our take
Small footprint, big practical appeal
The big selling point here is how sensibly the Tempest 100 Brolly uses space. You get cover for one bedchair, plus extra storage room, without taking over the swim. That’s handy when you’re fishing tight pegs, stalking a likely margin or moving between spots.
The GRP composite block, anti-twist pole system and preformed aluminium poles are all aimed at making pitching less of a faff. Add the twin rear vents and decent waterproofing, and this looks like a shelter built around real bank-life rather than showroom flash.
What you’re buying
A compact shelter built for one
The Tempest 100 Brolly is designed around one bedchair, with additional storage space for the kit you need close at hand. Its 210D polyester fabric carries a 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating, so it’s aimed at proper weather protection rather than just shade from a summer shower.
The 16mm preformed black powder-coated aluminium poles, advanced GRP composite block and anti-twist pole system are all practical design choices. They should make the frame easier to manage when you’re pitching quickly, particularly in a tight swim or on ground that isn’t perfectly flat.
Twin rear vents help air move through the shelter and are intended to reduce condensation. You also get dual rod straps, a tension strap, T-pegs and a 210D zipped carrybag, so the package covers the main jobs you expect from a session shelter.
Worth knowing. The 250cm width and 230cm depth give you useful room around one bedchair, but this isn’t a storage warehouse. Keep bait, luggage and clothing organised and it’ll feel comfortable enough. Bring every bit of kit you own and things could get a bit cramped.
Find your fit
Best for mobile, organised anglers
This shelter makes a lot of sense for anglers who move swims, fish short sessions or want a straightforward overnight setup. The compact transport size is useful when you’re pushing a barrow through a busy venue, and the relatively manageable weight won’t have you completely cream-crackered before the rods are out.
It also suits anyone who prefers staying connected with the swim. The brolly format gives quick access to the rods and keeps the shelter footprint sensible, which is useful when fishing margins, narrow pegs or venues where every inch of bank matters.
It’s less suited to anglers who want a roomy social bivvy or carry loads of bulky equipment. If your session setup includes several tackle boxes, a huge bedchair, cooking kit and enough spare clothing for a week in the Lakes, you’ll need to be disciplined or look at a larger shelter.
Straight answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
The 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating and 210D polyester construction give it strong wet-weather credentials. Pitch it properly, use the tension strap and keep the fabric clear of snagging branches or sharp peg furniture.
At approximately 5.5kg for the shelter, plus around 0.75kg for the pegs, it’s manageable rather than featherweight. The 110 x 25cm transport size should fit neatly on a barrow or alongside the rest of your gear.
Use the twin rear vents whenever conditions allow, avoid bringing soaking-wet kit inside where possible and give the shelter a bit of airflow during the day. Those simple habits make a noticeable difference on damp nights.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Compact and relatively light for a proper one-man shelter.
- 10,000mm waterproofing gives strong protection for changeable UK weather.
- Anti-twist pole system and GRP composite block help keep pitching straightforward.
- Twin rear vents should help airflow and reduce condensation.
- Dual rod straps are a dead handy touch when you’re setting up or packing down.
Worth knowing
- The internal footprint is focused rather than spacious, so messy kit quickly eats into room.
- At around 5.5kg before pegs, it’s portable but not an ultra-light shelter.
- A brolly layout gives less enclosed storage than a larger full bivvy system.
