Trakker Tempest Brolly 100T

At Gerrys Fishing, weve seen the Tempest range transform the way anglers approach their sessions, but the Trakker Tempest Brolly 100T is arguably the most significant evolution yet. The T stands for TALL, and for anyone who has spent a rainy afternoon hunched over in a low-profile shelter, this is a total game-changer. By increasing the head height to 150cm, Trakker has created a brolly that allows you to sit upright on your bedchair, offering a much better view of the lake and saving you from a stiff neck.

Despite the extra height, it retains the legendary quick-erect DNA that made the Tempest famous. Built around the patented GRP composite block, this shelter is lightweight, super-strong, and can be assembled in a matter of seconds. Its the perfect blend of brolly-speed and bivvy-comfort, wrapped in a rugged, hydrophobic 210D Polyester skin that shrugs off even the most torrential downpours.

Superior Ventilation & Engineering

The 100T isnt just taller; its smarter. It features twin rear vents that facilitate impressive airflow, which is crucial for reducing condensation during cold nights and keeping the interior cool when the sun is beating down. The anti-twist pole system ensures that the 16mm pre-formed poles remain perfectly aligned during setup, while the dual rod straps on the front provide a secure place to lean your setups while youre rebaiting or adjusting rigs.

Examples of Where to Use

• Quick Overnighters: The T height makes it much easier to get changed and organized in the dark, while the rapid setup means youre fishing in seconds.

• Tall Anglers: If you find standard 125cm brollies cramped, the 150cm height of the 100T provides the headroom youve been waiting for.

• Long-Stay Sessions: When paired with the optional infill panels and groundsheet, it becomes a fully enclosed bivvy suitable for multi-day trips.

• Tight, Sloping Swims: The compact footprint (250cm width) allows it to fit into narrow swims where larger bivvies might struggle, while the height ensures you still feel spacious.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The extra height on the 100T is a massive advantage for visibility. Because youre sitting higher up, you can see much more of the waters surface from the comfort of your bedchair. My advice? When setting up in a wind, use the included tension strap to get the frame perfectly rigid before you peg it down. This ensures that even with the taller profile, the 100T remains rock-solid in a gale. Also, if you do a lot of winter work, the Tempest Brolly 100T Skull Cap is a must-buyit adds a peak and creates a second skin that virtually eliminates condensation!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 100T much heavier than the standard 100 Brolly?

Surprisingly, no. Despite the significant increase in height, the 100T weighs in at approx. 6kg, which is only a fraction more than the standard model. It remains incredibly portable and easy to carry on a barrow or over your shoulder.

Can I use my old Tempest Brolly 100 Infill Panel on this?

No. Because the 100T is taller, it requires its own specific 100T Infill Panel or 100T Mosquito Panel. However, the groundsheet and Skull Cap are compatible across the 100 range.

How waterproof is the 210D fabric?

The 210D Polyester used by Trakker is highly waterproof and hydrophobic. It has a high hydrostatic head rating designed to withstand heavy, sustained rain. The fabric also dries much faster than traditional heavy canvas, which is a blessing when you have to pack away in the rain.

Does it come with a groundsheet?

The 100T is supplied as a modular brolly system, so the groundsheet is available as an optional extra. This allows you to keep the weight down for quick day sessions or add the heavy-duty groundsheet for longer sessions where you want to keep the damp out.
