I currently have a TFG Oval brolly and overwrap and a Rod Hutchinson Hybrid Cabrio brolly system.
The TFG is a few years old, comes with the storm sides as standard, a 'half' groundsheet, but you do have to buy the overwrap. If you use it as a brolly, then the shorter side storm sticks are fine, but if you go with the overwrap then the front storm poles are handy.
I do like it, it works, keeps me dry and warm.
The Hutchy Cabrio system, I got it this year, it is big! With the extension on the front it is like sleeping in a tunnel.
The front is held up by tension bar, and then the smaller storm sticks inside.
I haven't used this in wet weather yet!

I've considered binning mine or giving it away as I haven't used it in over 20 year, but the nostalgia of sleeping on an Argos sun lounger comes back to me every time I look at it.

I like the look of that Hutchy Brolly system Nick, the extension looks wicked.

It is very nice.
The standard groundsheet covers the ground under the umbrella, then there is an extension that clips on to cover the ground in the extension.
Believe it or not, I haven't used it with a door on yet, the weather has been too warm. The door and extension just zip on, so you can leave it all in place rather than taking each bit off.
There is room for a chair in the extension, rather than being sat right back on your bedchair.
It does also come with a decent brolly bag.
I suppose in relation to TFG it is expensive, but personally I think it is worth it, I would much rather spend money on Hutchy tackle than many other brands where quality is possibly a bit dubious.
