Hi, I am new to the forum and just starting to get back into fishing after not doing it for over 10 years. I am in the market for a new brolly system but keep going round in circles so thought I'd ask you guys based on your own experiences if you have any. I'm a fair weather angler so will only be doing nights in the spring/summer which will be mainly 24hr sessions and no longer than 48hr.
I have whittled my search down to the following:
Nash Titan hide pro
Cyprinus K2 60 brolly system
Solar undercover brolly system
I'm set on having vents to allow air movement and want something which will withstand the odd summer downpour. Has anyone used or owned any of the above, if so can you share your experiences. I have heard the Titan hide is too small for most bed chairs meaning it touches the edges and gets wet, if true is this the case with the hide pro?
Thanks for reading
Mark

I have the titan hide xl and can recommend it 100%, it's been my best buy for a very long time. Nice big vents, good height, easy to put up, roomy, no leaks (yet) and reasonable price.
Not on your list, but can highly recommend the trakker tempest brolly v2, or if you want the vents then there's the tempest brolly 100T or tempest brolly 100
I can't fault mine

I looked at the tempest but decided the 100T is a little too big for me. I didn't realise they do a 100 apart from the advanced 100 but I don't really want to spend more than £350.

In the summer? Then he's a wimp
I would pay the extra few quid for the tempest. I was tempted by the hideout at the JR price, but I wouldn't ever have the front down and it doesn't detach. Don't want to be carrying the extra bulk around the whole time only to roll it up.
No matter how 'space saver' a standard internal brolly mech is you will always bash your head at some point, things have moved on. I had the Lo-Pro before it got nicked and it was ok. Replaced with the Tempest Brolly and its much better.

Thanks for the input guys. Basically to summarise, what I had listed are all fair options apart from price difference. I'll do a bit of research into the tempest but to get the 100 it seems to of sold out at most places.

I honestly thought the same about every Tom, Dick and Harry having one, not usually into that. But in this case there is a reason, it's better than the other brollies.

It goes up quickly most brollies do it's not like it's gotta be up in under 2 mins instead of under 5 😆 there is so many in the range it makes my head go spinning when I hear the word tempest 😝 plus as we've said every man and his dog has one it's not for me but each to their own,the OP wants a brolly system not a brolly so he wants the option of a front.

Exactly he wants a SYSTEM
and some of the suggestions when you add the bits to make it a system smashes his budget the Solar one complete is well under budget but lots of options out there

Solar one gives him vents I'm not a fan of the camo on it tho it's a bit cheap looking

Have a look at alpha fishing, they do a full system including vapour shield and zip in groundsheet, in green or dpm for 269 or 279 they also have some cyprinus shelters for cheap as they do repairs and warranty work for them.
Just got a fox ultra 60 brolly system second hand, well impressed

I went to my local Angling Direct where they had the Titan hide and hide pro. They looked smart but the spec is pretty poor compared to other brolly/shelters on the market for similar price. They also had the tempest 100 DPM but this had no vents. I'm swaying towards the Solar if I'm honest. It's £200 and it will do what I want for now. If I decide to change a year or two down the line because I start fishing through colder nights then I'll upgrade as £200 isn't that much in the grand scheme of things.

My mates got one, and he's really happy with it. From what I've seen of it the quality is spot on, nice thick material and stitching was good.
