Just a quick heads up. AD are doing the fox specialist brolly for £49 with free delivery which is less than half price but the deal ends at midnight tonight. They are a brilliant river brolly or day session only brolly as ive used one for years.

I looked last night too and thought the same, but on the homepage there was a banner stating the lower price would be applied on checkout for the 3 flash deal items they showed.

Bargain - for that money you can also afford to buy the 2x additional storm pole connectors for the upper spars (available via Fox spares) to make it super rock solid!

Hi, can you put this up easier, than the Fox Specialist you had Gerry.
Thought that was main reason you got rid ?
Fox Specialist, seen a pic etc, guy (over 6Ft tall), put large storm poles on it & used a bedchair under it.
Not big, but he only used it for going after work or whatever, then having a bit of Kip before day break (when Pikeing).
Note the adapters on the Brolly are pinned to arms, so don't try to bray em off, to fit on higher arms.
Got Fox, but would have Drennan one. Both good.
Bet 50" Drennan gives you better cover.

Not big enough for a bedchair but perfect size for a chair.

Regularly use a JRC X lite bedchair under my fox specialist- touches each side but not an issue.

hi Bob
yes correct that was the main reason and the Drennan is much easier and the coverage is soo much better I love it
the other strong contender was the Korum 50inch Graphite Brolly shelter
thats looks brilliant too both much better coverage
the Fox specialist brolly is a quality bit of kit but for ME its just not enough coverage for a bedchair and I had to get rid as my spinal damage prevented me from putting it up and down without a lot of pain

Agree with Gerry the mech takes some force to collapse but does get easier with time / use. . .
Not that I've used it (for sleeping under) but I think it would be fine as a shelter for quick sessions as a wind / driving rain break with a very compact bedchair and waterproof cover. The rear ribs are effectively 'flat back' which is fine for groomed / flat swims but not so good for rivers.
I'm thinking of buying the Drennan 44" for exactly this purpose as sometimes the Fox is a bit too big IMO - only thing I don't like about the Drennan is the flat section across the two central spars (water pooling) rather than a single spar that helps the rain drain off but for days only this is not really an issue . . .

Hi, i'm a old Git, like you say Fox Specialist does take effort to push up/ pull down.
Ones with locking mechanism's i have are easier.
Big head/ boss size not ideal for putting in Roving quivers etc, but prob better to prevent leaks in long run.
Not lightest, so i don't use if going any distance (but i'm old etc).
Its good thou & well made etc.

Ive always considered the flat front section offers slightly better coverage than the single spar ... swings and roundabouts i guess

Just taken delivery of one of these and just to back up what others have said you can 100% get a small bed like an X-lite under one
