I experienced a storm on the second night it rained most of the night and proper torrential rain for 2 of the hours the kinda rain thats like rods and you cant see thru it the Brolly was exceptional rock solid and 100% dry gets a 10 out of 10 from me

Defo being talked round to getting myself one in the new year!!
Does it pack down fairly slim, I have a Thinking anglers quiver my current brolly fits in, any ideas if this would fit?

Just the brolly I would imagine it should it wraps up pretty tight anyway then you have a snap catch strap sewn to the rear rib so can compress it fairly tight, as it goes on my barrow I leave all mine in the bag supplied as I take the ground sheet, zip on infill, zip on door, pegs and tension bar, whether it all comes out the bag is dependant on the weather but it all fits all in the same bag with plenty of room which is handy, used it on a few occasions now and have to say I really like it.
What's the internal pocket size of the sling?

Now your asking, without going to measure it I don't have a clue. It's an outside pocket that it fits in. Currently have a fast and light mk1 that goes in on its own and poles, pegs, are stored in other pockets and in the barrow bag.
As long as it wraps up tight like you've said it does then I'm sure it'll fit no problems in it's own

GOOD news
........................and BAD NEWS 
1st the GOOD !! the new front that arrived Thursday is now letterbox no problems
2nd the BAD !!! the clear door wont fit
the reason is only one end of the zip on the clear door has a male end and to fit it needs a male end on both ends of the zip
but Im sure once Wychwood are aware they will sort this out with their normal outstanding after sales service

are you are forgetting a thing called Covid ?
these shelters were held up in China when production stopped then there were various dates when they were due to arrive but they never arrived ! ( due to covid)
so not really Wychwoods fault more Covids !!!
and you had people like ME who were jumping up and down as I had a pre ordered and paid in full !
so full credit to Wychwood they rushed the Brollys and fronts out to customers as soon as they arrived
NOT KNOWING that the company that made the fronts had cocked up and put the wrong zips on meaning you could not letterbox the door
Wychwood as soon as they found out recalled all the shops stock and told everyone that had received the front to keep it and they would send the new correct fronts out in about a months time as they were going to get them made as fast as possible and shipped by air instead of the normal 6 weeks it would have taken by boat cant get much better than that !
and yes I received my new front within the month and its wonderful have been out in a 48 session and a storm with a night of proper rain it was perfect
but I had already bought the optional extra clear door that has now been replaced
the groundsheet is held in by elasticated toggles thats so much better than crappy velcro
I loved the Wychwood 50" MHR brolly that this new 55" replaced and with the rear vents zip on fronts normal or Mozzie and not at pull your pants down prices either £29 for the front
lovely wide door its a massive improvement and I bloody love it even though it is a bit low

Yes of course can you tell me what has covid got to do with wrong size clear Windows and fronts not made correctly that would have happened if there was no virus all I am saying is I personally couldn't be bothered with the messing about over a broll I think I will stick to my tempest

well I thought it was pretty obvious but clearly it isnt to YOU
so I will point out what Covid has to do with it
the Samples that were perfect and displayed in the video at the trade show last Jan or Feb cant remember now the exact date and due for release in the spring
had Covid not happened they would have GOT the shipment in plenty of time to check them and realise the factory that made the front had been made with the wrong zip and Wychwood would of had plenty of time to get them made again SIMPLES ?
And as I previously explained the front could not letterbox so obviously the clear door did fit it but same problem as the normal door it could not letterbox
but its all sorted now and new fronts etc are in stock and AND my mine have now been replaced
it was just a hiccup that was made worse by covid and possible the wrong fronts would never have made it out the door
as it happened apparently it was only about 4 or 5 and rectified in the fastest possible time
glad your happy with your tempest I too have a Tempest BIVVY for lakes great shelter nice rear vents zip off front perfect (too big for my river pegs)
but to me the Wychwood Tactical Brolly with rear vents and zip on front options is the perfect shelter for the river fishing I do far superior to anything else in its size IMHO
Hope this helps
