TBF, wychwood gear seems to be slightly overlooked by many, but i have found their brollies, rods and nets to be spot on.

had a look at the brolly at the big one at the weekend. Not so sure i'm keen on the hybrid pattern and the centre boss is pretty big still, not much room between bedchair and boss, can see it not suiting many people. I think if you're like me and use a compact bedchair you'd get away with not having to put it right back under the boss but I'd advise anyone to have a look at one in real life to see if the boss thing suits you

Yeah it looks great fair play. I use an MHR which has been superb so I'd buy their new stuff with confidence.

Looked at them both at the big one on Saturday and was massively impressed.

The brolly when set up with the front on is low but gives extremely good coverage and looks great, they had a very tall legged bedchair set up inside it which did make the central boss seem low but I'm very tempted to get rid of my aqua heritage for one. The brolly also only uses two storm poles even with the front zipped on.

The bivvy is great and every bit of the footprint is usable space unlike most bivvy's, the height is spot on and you'd be able to see plenty out the door with it being extended width. I will definitely be having one of these for doing more than one night but it is a conventional pram hood and does have 5 extra tensioning poles to attach so won't be replacing the Nash hide for quick overnighters.

I've really liked the wychwood products I've owned decent price superb quality I tend to look at their or Gardner's/ESPs range over anyone else's for quality per pound.

Love my sleeping bags and Parka Jacket and salopetts.

Their crimps have been awesome for the 15 years I've used them.
