Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- One-man carp and coarse anglers doing overnight or longer sessions. There’s enough room for a bedchair and your essential kit, with proper weather protection when the forecast goes sideways.
- Anglers who want a premium brolly system rather than a bare shelter. The included infill panel, groundsheet, Quicksticks and carry bag make this a well-equipped setup from day one.
Maybe skip if
- Mobile anglers who count every gram. The shelter itself is manageable, but the groundsheet and pegs add roughly another 4kg to the load.
- Anglers after the cheapest possible shelter. This is premium tackle with premium materials, so the value is in the build and versatility rather than a bargain price.

Quick verdict
A cracking all-rounder for the one-man bivvy angler
The Tempest 100 Brolly Aquatexx EV gives you a roomy one-man shelter without turning transport into a full-on expedition. The 25,000mm Aquatexx EV fabric is the big draw, while Adaptive Ventilation and the removable infill panel help it cover everything from quick overnighters to proper longer sessions.
It’s not the lightest option once the groundsheet and pegs are added, and the Clear Window costs extra. Even so, for a quality-focused angler who wants dependable shelter, useful storage space and a straightforward setup, this is a very bob-on package.

Aquatexx EV fabric, a heavy-duty groundsheet and solid included hardware give this a properly premium feel.
The 25,000mm HH rating, Adaptive Ventilation and enclosed infill option make it well suited to changing conditions.
A comfortable, organised shelter helps you stay focused through longer sessions without directly adding fishing features.
The brolly format, Quicksticks, tension strap and included pegs keep setup fairly straightforward.
It’s a premium purchase, but the useful included extras and adaptable design help justify the outlay.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Trakker Tempest 100 Brolly Aquatexx EV
Some shelters are all about saving a few minutes on the bank. Others are built to make a full session feel less like you’re camping in a wardrobe. The Trakker Tempest 100 Brolly Aquatexx EV sits nicely between the two. It’s a one-man shelter with a proper amount of usable room, without becoming a massive lump to drag round the lake.
The first thing that jumps out is the Aquatexx EV fabric. With a 25,000mm hydrostatic head rating, it’s built for the sort of wet, miserable UK weather that can turn a tidy session into a soggy faff before breakfast. You’ve got a serious barrier against rain here, which is exactly what you want when the rods are off and the clouds are doing their worst.
This isn’t just a shell with a bedchair-shaped hole in it, either. The Tempest 100 Brolly is designed for one bedchair with optimum storage space, so there’s room to keep the session kit organised. Bags, boots, brew gear and a bit of tackle can sit inside without everything being piled on top of your sleeping bag. That extra breathing room is dead handy on longer stays.
The approximate erected dimensions are 125cm high, 250cm wide and 220cm deep. That gives you a useful footprint without asking for a giant swim. As ever, you’ll still want to check the swim properly before pitching, especially if you’re setting up near reed beds, snags or awkward margins. A neat shelter is no good if it leaves your rods in a daft position.
Setup is helped along by the two included 36-inch Quicksticks, the tension strap and T-pegs. Those are the sort of bits that can otherwise send you rummaging through the tackle room for extras. The brolly format keeps the process fairly sensible too, so you’re not wrestling with a forest of poles while a cheeky shower turns into a downpour.
Adaptive Ventilation technology adds another useful bit of flexibility. Keeping air moving can help make the shelter more comfortable, particularly when you’re tucked in there with wet clothing or cooking up a brew. On colder nights, the removable infill panel lets you close the shelter down and create a more enclosed setup.
The heavy-duty groundsheet is included, which is a proper bonus. It gives you a cleaner, more controlled base and helps keep muddy boots and damp ground from becoming a complete pain. Just remember it adds weight: the shelter is approximately 8.2kg, while the pegs and groundsheet add around another 4kg.
Packed down, it measures approximately 110 x 23cm. That’s a respectable transport size for a shelter with this amount of internal space, although the full load still isn’t featherlight. If you’re the sort who likes moving every couple of hours, you’ll notice it. For settled sessions, though, that extra shelter comfort starts to make plenty of sense.
The removable infill panel also gives the Tempest 100 Brolly a wider range of uses. Leave things more open for quick summer nights, or fit it when you want extra privacy and a more protected setup. There’s compatibility with Trakker’s Clear Window too, although product 203200 is sold separately, so factor that in if you want the full enclosed feel.
Overall, this is a well-equipped, premium one-man brolly for anglers who want a cracking balance of weather protection, storage and practical setup. It won’t be the choice for someone counting every ounce or every quid, but if you want a dependable home from home on the bank, it looks a very strong shout.

Our take
Why this one stands out
The sweet spot here is the blend of compact brolly practicality and proper bivvy-style comfort. You get space for one bedchair, plus optimum storage room for bags, boots and tackle, without needing a huge footprint in the swim.
It’s a shelter aimed at anglers who’d rather buy once and get on with fishing. The Aquatexx EV fabric, included groundsheet and Quicksticks make it feel properly equipped from the off, while the infill panel gives you a bit more control when the weather turns grim.
A closer look
What you’re buying
The Tempest 100 Brolly Aquatexx EV is a one-man shelter built around a roomy brolly layout. It takes one bedchair and leaves useful space for the rest of your session gear, so you’re not wedged in with bags and boots fighting for floor space.
Its Aquatexx EV fabric has a 25,000mm hydrostatic head rating, giving it serious wet-weather credentials. Adaptive Ventilation, a removable infill panel and the included heavy-duty groundsheet make it more versatile than a basic open-front brolly.
The box contents are strong too. You get two 36-inch Quicksticks, T-pegs, a tension strap and an NXG zipped carry bag. The Clear Window is compatible, but you’ll need to buy that separately.
Worth knowing. The quoted 8.2kg is for the shelter itself. Add roughly 4kg for the pegs and groundsheet, and the complete carry load becomes much more substantial.
Who it suits
A solid choice for settled sessions
This is aimed at anglers who want more comfort than a stripped-back brolly can offer, but don’t want the footprint and faff of a much larger shelter. It makes sense for overnight fishing, longer weekends and changeable UK conditions.
The extra storage space is especially useful if you carry plenty of kit. Keep the tackle bags tucked away, leave room for wet footwear and still have somewhere to sit without doing a full-on game of bank-side Tetris.
It’s less suited to ultra-mobile fishing where you’re shifting swims all day. The complete setup is manageable, but the groundsheet and pegs add weight. If every walk needs to be as light as possible, a simpler shelter may suit you better.
Worth knowing. Use the tension strap and Quicksticks properly when the weather’s up. A tidy, well-tensioned pitch will make the most of the shelter’s shape and keep the interior feeling more usable.
FAQs in full
The bits anglers usually want to know
Does it have enough room for a proper session? Yes, for one angler it’s designed to give you a bedchair space plus optimum storage room. It’s not a two-man shelter, but it should feel far less cramped than a minimal one-man pod.
Is the groundsheet included? Yes. The heavy-duty groundsheet comes as part of the package, alongside the removable infill panel, Quicksticks, T-pegs, tension strap and carry bag.
Can it be made more enclosed? The removable infill panel helps close the shelter down, and the Tempest 100 Brolly Aquatexx EV is compatible with the Clear Window 203200. That window is sold separately.
Worth knowing. The transport size is approximately 110 x 23cm, so check your barrow and holdall space before buying. It’s compact for the shelter’s size, but still a premium one-man setup rather than a tiny day shelter.
