Looking at getting a brolly for the coming summer, like the look of the hideout but is there something else out there which is better or just stick with it

Wychwood mhr brilliant bit of kit but if you want to spend the extra I'll recommend the tempest.. got both but use the tempest 99% of the time

Would you say it's worth spending the extra for the advanced or would you stick with the v2 for less than half the price?

I got a 2nd hand air with wrap for 250 so that covers me for all my fishing.

Second that about the mhr. Got the mk 1 and really impressed. Tbh I got it chesp, if I was to buy new I'd look at saber or cyprinus as I can't warrant spending 300+ on a bit of fabric and metal. Saw the Titan bivvy is now 750! I remember when £200 for a bivvy was bloody expensive but 750!!

Tbf my main bivvy is a Saber supra and it's the best bivvy I've had, just not the quickest to setup/dismantle that's all...wouldn't hesitate buying another item from them

Wychwood mhr brollys are so well made will stand the test of time

Have to admit I got a Mk1 MHR Brolly for a bargain price of £60 brand new as shop wanted it gone. Can not fault it tbh! The wider skirt helps with stability when pegged down imho. Great bit of kit & I have not been impressed with a lot of Wychwood gear since the original System Select luggage way back in the early 90's!!!

i had two and the material was porus and they then discontinued it (ended up getting a hide)
shame as it had all the stuff i wanted and made from a thicker material

SORRY but thats cobblers and I dont believe that for a second mate ! I think you must be getting confused with condensation ?
as the FACT is they are manufactured with a top quality 10,000mm Hydrostatic Head HD rip stop material no way is the material porous in a million years
Wychwood brollys are some of if not the best out there
THATS WHY they come with a 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Then wychwood brollies are superb and I agree with OG it was likely condensation.

Maybe wait for the new wychwood tactical brolly, it's out in June. I've got the original 60inch solace and the newer 50inch MHR and both have been amazing

Fully agree. My old Wychwood brolly was quality and the material much better than my current Tempest

nah i did a test before i took it back to the shop.
strangely the material looked like it was covered in pin holes on a couple of the panel
maybe i got a couple of iffy ones.
but i would agree they are a cut above other materials, reminds me of the old wavelok material without the weight.

I've got the Wychwood Mhr mk11 full system, I've used it 5 times and had some heavy rain and leaked through the center boss! Then the thread on the center pole broke! Can't remember where I bought it from so can't get my warranty on it.Bit gutted tbh, now looking at an alternative, maybe the Esp Hideout as it looks very light and easy to put up.
I had one of the ESP Lo Pro brollies and it was brilliant mate. I ended up selling as I bought a Fast & Light to get a little bit more headroom but my mate is still using it with no issues at all.
The material is nowhere near as thick as the fast and light but I did some overnighters under it through winter with no problems.

I use an ESP LoPro from before they got released 3 years ago and i absolutely love it.
My old Tempest hasn't been up 3 times since then!
Tempted to get a Hide-Out as well because it's slightly bigger/higher.

I've had my wychwood solace about 7years now used it in all weather never used the overwrap. Brilliant bit of kit. Only negative is the boss system is low and not set far back enough. I imagine the new system has been improved
