Fox Specialist . . .but you need to spend another £20 and fit the storm cap adaptors to make it fully useful . . .
Other than that the best day shelter (with a bit more cover) I've had if you can still get one is the Wychwood Solace HD50 . . .small footprint, solid and decent thick fabric . . .

No need to spend anything I moved the ribs to the front just swapped them over so I can use long storm rods

. . b*lls to that !. . I'm too hamfisted and didn't want to mess with screws / mechanism. £20 and 30 seconds later I have 4x storm pole locators . . .

i've had a 50" korum graphite brolly for a few years now, they are very light, 3.5kg or thereabouts, it's a bit flimsy so not great in the wind but it keeps the rain off and that's all i want on a day session, it literally only gets put up if it's wet

Not had any issues with the JRC Stealth Bloxx Shelter 2G. Bit like a Tempest, but cheaper.

Also thinking of investing in a lightweight day shelter and unsure of the way forwards. Trouble with a 50inch brolly is even if it's light it's still 50inch long when packed down and bulky
The Fox Easy Shelter+ seems a good lightweight dayshelter option that could also double for overnight and in a much smaller pack down size but perhaps is a bit low in height. Anyone got one and does it provide enough headroom for sitting in a standard camping chair?

I picked up a sonic axs brolly for exactly the same reasons . Goes up really quick , loads and I mean loads of room ,tall too if you set it up that way. Did loads nights under it till it went bit cold....needs storm poles when windy , but I'd recommend a look 👍

But don't you think it's OTT for a day shelter ?? not meant as a criticism more a genuine question

Fox Specialist brolly
Fox Evo
Tempest Brolly
Carp-Tech Oval
I have all these and all do a good job as a day shelter. If want something to sit under behnd rods then the Tempest Brolly is what i would go for. If holding a rod and need a lttle height in the shelter then either Specialist Brolly or Evo. Fox Evo is probably the best all rounder imo
