Hi lads, I'm after a lightweight brolly system for quick overnighters. It needs to be lightweight, fast erect and have the extras (groundsheet and front) for a bit more comfort in wetter conditions. I would prefer a traditional brolly rather than a tempest etc if possible. Had a 100T before and loved it but want something that feels a bit more 'traditional' No real budget restrictions.

TIA

Daiwa mission is 3.2 kilo for the basic one.

Another model is available with a front.

Nash Scope Ops Recon . . Wychwood MHR? Personally would go heavier with Aqua Fast n Lite (not so lite) or pref Aqua Ultralite (also not so lite) as larger and more versatile . . .

The ESP 58 is a cracking bit of kit. Is it available though?

No.
I was looking for one a week or two ago.
Can't find one anywhere.

I've got a friend who randomly messaged me after posting this. He said he has only used it 4 times and it's mint. I've read the reviews and they seem pretty good. I know it's heavier than other brollies but has to be lighter than my original T1 with the the add ons? Avid website advertises the full system at 9.6kg

I bought one of these recently and so far have used it about 8 times for quick overnighters. It’s a solid piece of kit and very easy to put up and take down. I can get my Nash T9490 sleep system and kit in there no probs. Definitely worth a look
