Having fished under a Brolly for years (Trakker 60”), i recently bought a tempest advanced as the Brolly was on its last legs- mega impressed with it, goes up in seconds (literally) and the packdown is pretty close to that- won't go wrong with one bud

It's not always about the time but it does if it's pouring down fiddling around with storm poles is a pain trakker tempest v2 is the best the trouble with the hide it's got the word Nash on it

It's not the time it's the mess about factor.

Then when the weather wind and rain changes direction you have to reposition the brolly to keep dry.

I have done hundreds of nights under various ovals and would not use one again after owning a tempest.

I do own a Tempest and I can have my smaller footprint brolly system up nearly as fast

I really dont see the obsession with getting a shelter up in record time only to spend the next god knows how many hours sat on a chair or bed ?????

If you do away with the tension strap the footprint of the TB can be as you chose. Tight at the back and high at the front or wide and low. Have to admit I was all about the old ovals, thought the newfangled tempest was a waste of money until curiosity got the better of me.

Now I love it.

I'm sure the Nash one is horses for courses, it just wasn't out a few years ago.

Pro logic quick release connectors.

I have a fox specialist 45" brolly and a v1 tempest brolly, the tempest is much better for use with a chair due to the headroom. In the brolly you can't have the chair central, due to the centre pole/boss even with the space saver frame system. I usually have the chair sideways in the brolly if it's raining, otherwise my legs stick out.

I only really use the brolly when I have to carry the kit rather than use a barrow, it just balances the quiver better than the shorter tempest brolly.

Not an obsession, just more practical.

Not a obsession just want to stay dry

If you move multiple times a day it soon becomes a chore. Been on a lake since 5.30 this morning and on the second swim now, had the tempest up twice for showers and then pack it down again so I don't get too comfortable 👍

I'm considering it but foot print is much bigger than anything I've used before!

Went and had a look at the Tempest V2, T100 Brolly,Sonik AXS bivvy, AXS brolly and the Fox EOS brolly all set up and went for the Sonik AXS Bivvy to use as a day shelter without the front and groundsheet.
The V2 was so tiny it was fit for Warwick Davis, couldnt justify the price of the 100T with a set of poles just for day sessions,Axs brolly wasnt nearly as good a quality as the axs bivvy, and didnt like the Fox bivvy.

I know i was after a brolly and i bought the bivvy but stripped back it will do what i need it to fo for a 12 hr session, and i can fall back on my current bivvy Avid HQ dual layer for longer sessions and my Starbaits QG Luge for France.

Just had spook army some videos of the AXS. Looks like a decent bit of kit at a very affordable price!!

Did it feel much larger than the v2 brolly?

In reply to Post #28
In comparison the V2 is way smaller and with the AXS theres no need to Limbo under the peak just to get in it.
Why people think the v2 is the proverbial dogs danglies is beyond me.

It's getting them in. Hard work in the summer.
If you're tight for time (doing a quick morning \ evening session) ...
