Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing short sessions or occasional overnighters. You get bedchair space, useful storage and proper weather cover without hauling a huge shelter.
- Coarse anglers and match-minded anglers wanting compact cover. The light-ish pack size, quick-style brolly layout and dual rod straps suit mobile fishing and changing swims.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers who carry a mountain of kit into every swim. The shelter is designed for one bedchair, so space gets squeezed once bulky bags, chairs and luggage pile up.
- Anyone wanting a fully enclosed four-season bivvy setup. A brolly gives open, flexible cover, but it won’t feel as sealed or roomy as a larger bivvy with an overwrap.

Quick verdict
A cracking all-rounder for compact shelter duty
The Trakker Tempest Brolly 100 gives one angler a roomy, practical shelter without turning the van into a tackle warehouse. Its 210D polyester, GRP block and preformed aluminium poles make a sensible combination for regular bank use.
It’s especially handy for short carp sessions, overnight stops and coarse anglers who want proper cover around a bedchair. You don’t get the full palace feel of a bigger shelter, but the clever layout, rear vents and dual rod straps keep things nicely bob on.

The waterproof 210D polyester, GRP composite block and aluminium frame make a reassuringly capable package.
The roomy one-man layout, anti-twist system and rear vents are well judged for regular shelter duty.
It won’t catch fish for you, but quick cover, rod straps and useful storage help you stay organised and focused.
The lightweight structure, preformed poles, tension strap and supplied T-pegs keep setup and packing fairly painless.
For its bracket, the practical space and included essentials make it a sensible buy for frequent one-man sessions.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Trakker Tempest Brolly 100
Some one-man shelters are compact because they’re genuinely clever. Others are compact because you’re expected to leave half your kit in the car. The Trakker Tempest Brolly 100 looks firmly like the first sort. It’s built around one bedchair, but still leaves useful space for the bags, bits and bobs that always seem to multiply once you’re on the bank.
That makes it a tempting shout for short carp sessions, quick overnighters and mobile coarse fishing. You’re not committing to a massive bivvy footprint, and you’re not lugging a full-on palace down a muddy path. At roughly 5.5kg, before the extra 0.75kg of pegs, it’s a manageable carry for most normal approaches.
The shape is doing plenty of the hard work here. Its external footprint is 260cm wide by 240cm deep, with an external height of 125cm. Internally, you get 250cm by 230cm and around 120cm of height. That’s enough to work around a bedchair without feeling like you’re sleeping in a crisp packet, provided you don’t bring the whole tackle shop with you.
The shelter uses waterproof, durable 210D polyester, which is a sensible material choice for regular fishing. It should give you reliable cover when the heavens open, while standing up to the general knocks and scrapes that come with pegs, barrows and busy swims. As ever, get it pegged properly and keep the fabric tensioned when the wind starts having a wobble.
Up top, Trakker has used an advanced GRP composite block. It’s lightweight, strong and fatigue-resistant, so the central hub isn’t adding needless bulk to the carry. The anti-twist pole system is another dead-handy touch, helping the frame behave itself during setup rather than making you faff around lining everything up.
The frame uses 16mm preformed black powder-coated aluminium poles. That gives the brolly a neat, purposeful structure and helps keep the overall package reasonably light. The preformed design also makes sense when you’re trying to get shelter up before a shower turns into a proper downpour and your rods are already screaming.
Ventilation is often where compact shelters come unstuck, but the Tempest Brolly 100 includes twin rear vents. Open them when the weather allows and they encourage airflow through the shelter, helping reduce condensation. That’s particularly welcome on chilly mornings, after a wet night, or whenever damp clothing and sleeping kit are sharing the same small space.
There are also dual rod straps, which are a cracking little inclusion. They give you somewhere to secure the rods while you’re sorting the bedchair, bait or landing net, and they’re useful when a sudden shower has you diving for cover. It’s not glamorous kit, but it’s exactly the sort of feature that earns its keep during a hectic bite-time.
The package comes with a 210D zipped carry bag, tension strap and T-pegs, so there’s no immediate scramble for basic shelter hardware. The transport size is around 110cm by 25cm, which should sit sensibly with the rest of your gear. Overall, this is a practical one-man brolly aimed at anglers who want proper cover, useful room and less faff — a pretty spot-on combination for regular bank life.

Our take
Big enough where it matters, compact where it counts
The Tempest Brolly 100’s strongest trick is its balance. There’s enough room for one bedchair and useful kit, but it doesn’t feel like you’re lugging a small garden shed to the swim. At roughly 5.5kg before pegs, it’s a manageable carry for most sessions.
The structure is built around a lightweight, strong GRP composite block with an anti-twist pole system and 16mm preformed black powder-coated aluminium poles. That should make setting up less of a wrestle, particularly when the weather’s being a bit lively.
The twin rear vents are a proper bonus. Open them when conditions allow and you’ll encourage airflow through the shelter, helping to keep condensation under control. Add the dual rod straps, tension strap, T-pegs and zipped carry bag, and the package is usefully complete from the off.
The shelter itself
A tidy one-man setup with useful breathing room
The Tempest Brolly 100 is designed for one bedchair, but it isn’t just a roof over your head. The internal footprint of 250cm by 230cm gives you room to position sleeping kit and keep essential bags nearby. It should feel comfortable for a focused session, though it’s not aimed at anglers who travel with six carryalls and a kitchen sink.
The waterproof 210D polyester outer is supported by 16mm preformed black powder-coated aluminium poles and a lightweight GRP composite block. The anti-twist pole system should make setup more straightforward, especially when you’re putting shelter up quickly before a shower or as darkness closes in.
Twin rear vents encourage airflow and help reduce condensation. They’re worth using whenever the weather’s kind enough, particularly after a damp night. Dual rod straps add another practical touch, giving you a secure place for the rods while you’re getting organised.
Worth knowing. The quoted shelter weight is approximately 5.5kg, but the T-pegs add around 0.75kg. That’s still a manageable package, just don’t confuse the bare shelter figure with the complete carry.
On the bank
Best for anglers who value quick, compact cover
For the short-session carp angler, this is a strong fit. You get enough room for a bedchair, shelter from the weather and rod straps for those moments when the rods are off and you need both hands free. It makes sense for venues where swims are tight or the walk from the car is more trek than stroll.
Coarse anglers can also make good use of it, especially through colder or wetter months when a simple umbrella doesn’t cut the mustard. The relatively compact transport size is useful if you move swims, while the practical interior gives you a place to warm up, sort tackle or wait out a filthy spell.
It’s less suited to anglers who want a fully enclosed, highly spacious basecamp. If your session involves loads of luggage, cooking kit and bulky storage, the one-man footprint will soon feel busy. Likewise, anyone chasing maximum winter protection may prefer a larger bivvy and overwrap arrangement.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know before buying
Does it come ready to peg out? Yes. The package includes T-pegs, a tension strap and a 210D zipped carry bag. That means the main shelter essentials are covered from the start, rather than leaving you hunting around for compatible bits.
Can you use it for overnight fishing? Yes, that’s one of its natural jobs. The bedchair-focused layout and rear ventilation make it well suited to one-night or short overnight sessions, as long as you pack with a bit of discipline and don’t expect palace-sized living space.
Will it fit in the car? The transport size is approximately 110cm by 25cm. That’s a reasonably tidy bundle for a one-man shelter, though remember the pegs and your other tackle still need their own space.
Worth knowing. For the best airflow, use the twin rear vents when conditions are dry enough and avoid bringing soaking-wet kit inside if you can. A little ventilation goes a long way in a compact shelter.
