Very much pot luck as to if you get a good one or not. I had nothing but trouble and would never have another. Build quality was shocking

First ultra I had was second hand, it looked good but after a few outings it seemed to spring a new leak everytime. I bought a new brolly as I had all the accessories from the first and it's been spot on.

I loved mine but after a few trips a lot of things went wrong.
Skull cap fell off?
Fibre glass pole at front broke?
The storm pole fixings pins fell out of plastic part?
Sold it and got a Trakker Advanced Brolly.

What made you get the Advanced Brolly over say a V2 Bivvy?

Johnson Ross have both, only £20 difference in price and I can't figure out what the better buy is...🤔

I seen the advanced brolly on the bank and really liked it, goes up quick also.
Cant work out why its called a brolly more like a bivvy?
I think it sits lower than all the other models, nice and compact and not to heavy either.
If I was you I would go to a tackle shop and look at both set up.

Ha, sounds like the fox easy brolly i brought for a winter of day sessions, the sliding storm pole attachments just fell apart after 3 day trips, build quality is so poor, rush buy as my stealth brolly of 12years finally gave up.
