Ok guys,as the title suggests. No extras and all that crap.I have a bigger bivvy for long stays,but I'm looking to upgrade my fox super brolly for short sessions.
I'm 5ft 9 ,don't need a massive footprint blah blah.Just looking for the quickest set up out there,after spending an age setting up my fox super brolly and sweating my arse off,wondering there's got to be better than this,as I've not upgraded now for 8 years! Thanks in advance.

Quickest is probably Tempest RS brolly or Fox Easy Shelter +

Any pop up one. As Tim said, the Fox Easy Shelter. Think Quest also do one.

Other than that, oval brollies are really quick and there's plenty of those to choose from.

The fox easy shelter plus is great, very quick to get set up and lightweight enough to transport about. The material is quite thin though, this hasn't caused me any issues as yet, but something to consider.

Packing it away can be a nightmare until you get used to it, it may take a while putting it away in the first few usages, I always felt i was on the verge of breaking it when folding it up into the figure of 8 shape. I've used it on lots of days trips and it's been fine enough though.

A simple profile type brolly with wings might be easier though for you, that has to still be the quickest set up going, without the add ons of groundsheets and infills e.t.c

Good luck.

+1 for the Tempest brolly. I've got the V2 Air, same principal, friends have the brolly, the new quick knuckle system on the RS will make it even faster, if you want to spend that much.

As a proper shelter...Cannot see anything being quicker than a tempest brolly and better weather protection than a normal brolly type frame. I'd get a second hand tempest v2 . I have a fox specialist brolly and no comparison really apart from the fox brolly is obviously much smaller and lighter

Naah - not if theres mud on ground! You have to open the damn things on a gsheet or bedchair. Standard 50/60" brolly quickest
