I see from recent Socials that ESP are releasing two new brollies under the quickdraw banner. Any one privvy to the diffrence between these and the Lo Pro brolly. I'm thinking some sort of bi fold spoke system to reduce pack down size maybe??

I'm an all year brolly fan, and used scope brollys since day 1. I've got two recons and then one of the black ops with the folding ribs. It's good in concept but nowhere near as solid as a normal brolly, so hoping these aren't folding ribs. Be nice to see some new brollys on the market as everyone seems to be all about bivvys these days.

Your right nothing says Carp fishing to me more than sitting under a brolly. Be interesting to see what they come up with.

Would be nice to see a quality brolly with a decent optional fitted mozzi mesh (ideally magnetic style), doesn't need vents or any of that malarkey.

Not had an issue myself, better than faffing with zips.

I have to agree. I've been so disappointed with these on my Solar bivvy, great in theory but not in practice

I really like the magnetic one on my Aqua Ultralite. Works brilliantly.

The picture they put out was just of the label, rather than the actual brolly

I'm lucky enough to have one, so a few points that might help.
52&58 inch versions (I have the larger).
Smal up size is very compact. Only the back two ribs touch the ground so there aren't two longer poles sticking up on pack down. Doesn't seem to affect stability.
The grounds been too hard to get the storm rods in very far, so have just pegged the sides then brace the storm rods against that and it's been great. Last night in it was on the end of a SW setup front on, on a 60 acre pit.
Movie mesh is removable with quite a new attachment type.
Really lightweight and easy to erect (being a brolly obviously), even though the material is tick/laminated type.
Any questions happy to answer.

Do you know how much they weigh and the pack down length?
