Looks decent , are they deep enough to get everything underneath seeing as it's only 1500 deep ?

That's crazy cheap for a great system. Can get my gear in it no problem at all, only negative I can think of is that there's no groundsheet with it, but that's no issue to sort one.
If you're really tall and sit at the back you'd be in the spokes, but I can't see any brolly being any different. It's significantly higher at the front than my mates Tempest.
I've used it in pouring rain and high winds several times and it's rock solid.

Only used mine once since buying on the pre-black Friday sale (paid £5 more than it is now) and 1st impressions are very positive. Plenty of height and had it up in horrible wind and rain and it dealt with it perfectly (as it should). I don't think it would fit in a quiver, definitely doesn't in my compact one, may squeeze into a full sized quiver though

your right thats one of the great things about this shelter
IF!!!!
your looking for a shelter thats going to fit in the smaller swims the design of it means the bed can go right back as its flat backed
it sort of sits between the really big 60" brolly systems and the tiny compact ones for my purposes its the perfect size and great quality

In the dry I just use a couple of £1 tarps to put my gear on (loads of cow pats where I fish!). In winter I've used a groundsheet from my Trakker Cayman that fits really well.

I bought a "Grey 2 m x 3 m (6.5 ft x 9.5 ft) 150 GSM Tarpaulin Ground Sheet"
simply lay it flat erect the shelter draw around with a felt tip cut it out perfect tailor made
the 150gsm is fairly lightweight but you can of course get a more heavy duty version

With this having the 2 extra rib extensions does this do away with needing storm poles at the sides?.

I'm 6”4 and set my bed fairly high but my head doesn't touch the spokes at all. The whole system tilts back further than most which gives more headroom but less depth. The flat back works really well and rolled up with the front on fits into most quivers. The thinking tackle quiver is a brolly only size I think. The material is excellent and breathable if not a little delicate and can suffer from pin holes at the stitching apparently but I've not had this issue myself. I made a groundsheet from pond liner. I used mine all last season with no probs. I paid £225 with front. Excellent value at £175 👍

Anymore reviews on these ? Looking for a lightweight shelter for overnights with a front just in case.
In reply to Post #28
I have one and it's very good. Not as heavy as advertised, good quality material and plenty of space. Only done the odd night so far but have a 3 day session this weekend and will be using it then so will see how it goes, but see no reason for it to not do the job perfectly. Note, I've yet to put the door on or use the groundsheet I managed to get for it

Used mine quite a lot now. Love it, and it's well made. Only ‘issue' (which isn't any fault of the brolly) is that in driving rain when I've had to put the front on there isn't much room to try and organise wet gear. But the whole point is that's it's quick to put up and not massive...I've got a 2 man bivvy if I want loads of space.

This is the one I have now. I like it too, but just a bit more work to set up. A brolly was about 2 minutes to setup and the spider was about 3 minutes. Still very fast either way. The spider offers a bit more protection in high winds I think.

Spider Bivvy is slightly deeper and wider by not very much

I wasn't talking about size. I think the frame offers more ridigity than a brolly frame. I have read people mentioning that the glasfiber poles broke on their brolly. Plus the brolly can need 2 poles to be pushed in the ground, while the bivvy is free standing.

More than happy with mine. 6'1" and the spokes aren't an issue. There's a bit of condensation after a night as a single skin though. Opening the back vents to get some airflow helps.

WOA !! NOW wait a min mistercarp
are you saying you personally know of a Solar undercover brolly rib failing ???
because SOLAR HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPORTS OF RIBS FAILING I CHECKED TODAY
so maybe your talking about the inferior EARLY brollys by other manufactures ??
ribs and like rods have moved on and very much improved
and if so your post is very miss leading if its not factually correct mate
as a matter of fact one of our forum members fishes on possibly the very windiest at times places in the UK on the banks of the River trent where it can be completely barren fields all around for miles
not a bush or a tree just flat land where the wind is ferocious and the storms scary and his Undercover brolly has been perfect as if needed you can drop it down low

Why do you always go hostile if people have OTHER OPINIONS THAN YOU?
You are a character mate. My post isn't misleading. I am still thinking about buying a Solar Undercover brolly as I feel like it's a bit quicker to put up than my Spider compact, so I read everything I can about them including reactions under video about this brolly on YouTube and Facebook. There I have read a few comments about people saying having problems with it. Nothing more and nothing less.
And how have you checked if Solar had any reports of problems with it? Asked them? If so, they sure as hell ain't going to admit problems with it.

I dont recommend or post F**k all unless I have owned and used it or have CLOSE friends that I can rely on 100%
unlike a lot of people I dont say this is fantastic just cos I happen to own one I like to have used the alternatives probably why I still own 7 bivvies and 4 brollys and sold loads and loads over the past 60 odd years of using them
AND JUST BOUGHT THE SPIDER AND WRAP and all the extras
and yes matter of fact I have a Friend directly connected that after reading your comments I phoned this morning
and as stated there are more than one members on this forum that have been in server weather conditions and its exceeded their expectations in its protection
if you stop and think about it has GOT to be better than the bivvy simply because if you needed to you can simply drop it down low you cant get anywhere near that profile with the bivvy can you ?
sorry if I upset you I speak plainly and frankly no offence intended

No harm done. On my it pisses me off some people always recommend stuff they own themselves and then 2 weeks later they have something new and then that other thing was crap.
Like I said, I timed the setup time of my Spider vs a brolly and the difference is about 1 minute for me (maybe quicker for some), weight difference is also the same (both 7,5 kg). Brolly is longer but more narrow to carry. So, it really depends on what you need I think.
Really like my camo spider bivvy, but the quickness of erection of the brolly keeps me doubt my choice a bit.
Protection wise, I do think the bivvy is more secure as more rigid. Coverage wise I think they don't differ. The bivvy you can also spread and set quite low.

biggest difference for me and the reason I will own both by the end of this week is I fish rivers a lot with steep sloping banks with little or no bushes or trees just flat fields where the wind and rain can really get up a speed and a brolly system that you can lower down comes into its own
a taller bivvy profile gets battered to hell
but I am hoping to start fishing very close to home on a lake this coming summer with nice flat pegs with lots of bushes and trees so the Spider will be perfect

Did you get the mag loc mozzi front Gerry? That is the only thing that the brolly is missing as I don't like using a solid front but at times I do like to have a mozzi mesh as I get destroyed by the little buggers. Messaged Solar directly asking are they doing one and the response was quite vague so no idea of it is in the pipeline or not, and for that reason alone I have considered the Spider.

yes its brilliant material 10,000 HH its not silly thin its real quality
and TBH I was always a big fan of aquatex but this newer material is so much better and drys really fast Im now a convert
having major health issues I cant give you first hand info of using it in big storms however I now know of a couple of forum members that use one and give good reports
and I also know 2 guys in my club that have been using one for a few seasons up on the Trent where the weather conditions sort the good from bad shelters trust me people that havent fished up there have no idea some parts its flat all around not hardly a tree or bush literally for miles and the wind gets up with driving rain tests any shelter
they both say its fantastic very solid and really properly waterproof and of course in extreme conditions being brolly based you can lower it right down but if its good hot weather its got a lovely rear vent !
its got brilliant height 150cm none of these hobbit shelters
oh and one changed from a tempest air and the other from a tempest brolly both said best thing they did its one of the reasons I bought one

and I also know 2 guys in my club that have been using one for a few seasons up on the Trent where the weather conditions sort the good from bad shelters trust me people that havent fished up there have no idea some parts its flat all around not hardly a tree or bush literally for miles and the wind gets up with driving rain tests any shelter
they both say its fantastic very solid and really properly waterproof and of course in extreme conditions being brolly based you can lower it right down but if its good hot weather its got a lovely rear vent !
its got brilliant height 150cm none of these hobbit shelters
oh and one changed from a tempest air and the other from a tempest brolly both said best thing they did its one of the reasons I bought one

Thank you gerry I appreciate the info mate, definitely will be purchasing one In the next couple of months just for 24 hour sessions instead of lumping round my advanced tempest

Nicely done

Looking at the vids of this spider bivvy is just a reincarnation of the JRC bloxx compact but with less reliable legs due to the camlocks which will no doubt slip over time.......once you add a groundsheet and front it's not so cheap neither........I'm out......
Brolly looks nice though......

No the "wychwood tactical brolly" is brilliant but its very low
and in Jan 21 I was not expected to last the week !
as I had developed a tumour in my spine thats broken and pushed our of place 5 vertebra in my back making me now permanently disabled but lucky for me due to my muscular physique with very well developed back muscles I can still walk and drive
but have trouble bending so I sold my Tempest Bivvy and a few other bits and replaced
with 2 shelters that have a lot more height and lighter the Solar undercover Brolly and the bit bigger Solar spider Bivvy
I havent got round to selling the "wychwood tactical brolly" as yet but I will have to fantastic as it is its just too low for me
OK ?
