Product Information

Full details

The Trakker Tempest RS 200 Insect Panel is an essential accessory for anglers using the Tempest RS 200 bivvy who want to enjoy increased ventilation while maintaining a pest-free interior. It is perfect for summer sessions where airflow is critical, offering a magnetic self-closing door for quick exits, though it does not provide additional weatherproofing beyond what the standard bivvy front offers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this in the rain?

The insect panel is designed for airflow and does not feature waterproof properties. It is intended for dry weather or use in conjunction with a bivvy wrap if extra protection is needed.

Is it compatible with other Tempest bivvies?

No, this is specifically engineered for the dimensions and zipper configuration of the Tempest RS 200.

How do I store the panel?

The panel comes with an Aquatexx drawstring bag. Fold the panel carefully to avoid creasing the magnetic strips and place it inside the bag.

Does the magnetic closure affect electronics?

The magnets are standard utility magnets and should not affect modern angling electronics unless placed in direct, prolonged contact.

Can I leave the insect panel attached when packing away the bivvy?

While possible, it is recommended to remove the panel to prevent damage to the mesh or zipper track during transport.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic door not closing properly

Check the magnets for trapped debris or dirt and wipe them clean with a damp cloth.

Zip is difficult to engage

Ensure the panel is properly aligned with the bivvy track and check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth.

Panel feels loose

Ensure all anchor points are pegged out correctly to pull the panel taut against the bivvy frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid egress via magnetic closure
  • Quick zip-on installation
  • Excellent ventilation for warm weather
  • Keeps insects and bugs out of the living space
  • Compact and lightweight for storage

Cons

  • Does not provide protection against rain or wind
  • Requires existing Tempest RS 200 bivvy
  • Mesh requires care to prevent snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Locate the zipper on the front of your Tempest RS 200 bivvy.
  2. Align the insect panel zipper with the bivvy housing.
  3. Zip the panel fully into place around the perimeter.
  4. Use the provided T-pegs to secure the bottom tension points if necessary.

Compatibility:

This panel is specifically designed for the Trakker Tempest RS 200. It will not fit other Tempest models due to the specific zipper geometry of the RS 200 series.

Care:

  • Always ensure the mesh is dry before packing it away into the included Aquatexx bag to prevent mold.
  • Clean with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive chemicals or stiff brushes that could tear the mesh.
  • Inspect the magnetic strip periodically for debris to ensure the self-closing mechanism functions properly.
