Sorry me again, I need a brolly but once again not expensive. I used to have a Tracker MC 60 until it disappeared, so something like that, cheers.

It was on my trolly after packing up, went to wind in my last rod and when I looked again it had vanished.

Well that's a sh*tter

Do you need a Brolly for over nighters or just day fishing?

TFG oval brolly, £85 from Fishing Republic. My lads got one of the which I sometimes use for day sessions. They're pretty good.

Alternatively, there are day shelters, you can probably pick one of those up even cheaper. There was a post on here a few weeks ago on them I think.

I saw that this morning. Rubbish design mind as only one panel sits on the ground so all the wind comes straight through. I would of thought someone like solar would of came up with something better than that.

It's just a normal 65” brolly, some people like that. They already have the SP pro with sides and extras.

I just watched a review of the Sonik SK TEC 60 in brolly system, the wife suggested it, lord knows how. It looks pretty good.

Also have a look at the Sonik AXS brolly, £120. That has a lot of good reviews.

The TFG Oval is exactly what I use for day sessions as well.
I have also used it for overnighters.

Take a good look at it on the stitching on the end of the front ribs. I just sent one back as could see daylight through the stitching and had a small hole in it when I set it up!!

Just sent one of those cyprinus back as had holes in the very thin material! Poor quality very thin not durable imo. Given up buying brollies they all seem poor quality and worse than my old Fox jobby that leaks!
Solar one not much better. Maybe I'm just unlucky

You'll need the skull cap. Condensation is like nothing I've ever had before

Do you have the front on? I've never noticed an abnormal amount of condensation in mine, but I only use it without a front.

Never even bought the front only the brolly. Was like someone turning a tap on in there. Great brollys and tbh that's my only criticism

I have the early V1 bivvy and never ever use it without the skullcap on and find the only slight condensation is on the sides never get any on the roof area and in the stinking heat of the summer its MUCH cooler
