sorry to hijack this thread - photos look great and am possibly looking at getting one - primarily to use a day shelter. My only concern would be that there is not enough height to sit on a chair without literally touching the roof. What do you think? Thanks.

Considering it's a little lower than a v2 brolly you'd certainly struggle if your slightly taller. Only thing that put me off these tbh

yeah that's what I was thinking - I'm 6ft so the height (or lack of) is putting me off.

yes it IS very low I think some websites have it wrong its only 1200mm

but I can sit on my compact bed with a bedchair buddy and no problems as I bought it for barbel fishing I rarely sit in it I take a small cheapo brolly and chair or bucket seat and sit on my rods just reeling in during the day and sleeping in it and in a 10 hour storm with proper 2 hours of torrential rain and gale force wind it was totally rock solid and dry

I bloody love it

I dont ever roll it up I letterbox if rain is driving in otherwise its normally off cant sleep sleep with a door due to claustrophobia same as cant ever have a bag zipped up

Hi guys,

I just joined the forum discussion as I'm really interested in the 'Wychwood Tactical Brolly' as I'm looking to buy. 1st thanks to all for the posts, especially to oldgeezer AND secret-agent

@oldgeezer - in your opinion how long do you think the 'Wychwood Tactical Brolly' would last?

anyway, hope you guys post over the next few months with your continued comments/reviews now that night fishing has reopened.

cheers for any replies!

depends if you look after your gear but I would be happy for 5 years until this year Wychwood brollys all came with a 5 year warrantee
but their aftersales is one of the best imo
I now know there are a couple of river anglers up north that have them and love them with no issues there were some teething issue initially but wychwood HAS NOW refunded or replaced with the perfect product IMHO

After sales is a big thing, I've had several companies they don't want to know if anything goes wrong. Avid being one of them.
