Other than the Nash Scope Recon Brolly (everywhere seems sold out or silly money used), does anyone know of a brolly that packs down to 50 inches or less?
Want something nice and short to strap onto my ESP quickdraw quiver which isn't longer than my 10ft insurgents.

Maybe it's too low for you, but the aqua atom could be an option and is very very compact.

The Korum graphite brolly shelter could be what you're after. Will give it a measure tomorrow when I get home for the pack down size.
Been really impressed by mine when you take the centre pole out and use storm poles instead you can get a bed under at a push.

Unfortunately it's 53 inch pack down mate.

Thanks for checking that mate, thats not to bad to be honest - cant imagine that there are many much shorter than that - is that the shelter with the sides or the brolly?

Transport size: Approx 120 x 20cm
120cm is 48”

Nash hide is alright but tempest 100t I has more room I'd say.

Just measured my tempest 100 brolly and it's 45" in the bag.

Thing is, tempest, hide etc are short but very bulky for strapping to a quiver, not sure what you'll achieve? They won't fit into the outside pockets on the quickdraw quiver so you would litterally have to strap it to the quiver then carrying would be a right pain. If it's not for carrying but going on a barrow, is there any point attaching to the quiver?
You ideally want a little brolly, I did try my groundhog brolly in my quickdraw quiver and whilst it was longer than the rods, it was still tight and unbalanced for carrying and that weighs just 3.7kg. Ideally an old original 50” Aqua brolly might work, but still not entirely sure?
I think many were hoping esp would come up with some ingenious short pack down version of the new Lo-pro but that's not happening so it may be you have to accept either something too bulky or too long??
