Material looks good as well - nice and dark inside?

The material is a ripstop type and thick,mines been set up in all sorts of swims and nothing have ripped it.I would imagine the system with the front on would be dark enough inside

Wychwood do seem to have slipped in quality recently but Aqua are not what they were either.I bought my brolly second-hand off here and it's not had one single issue

It's the old model not the new one? Thought the quality was excellent with these ?

My understanding the original was the one to have and bomb proof but the mk2 was the one with poor qc? Interested because someone near me is selling a mk2 system.

The mk2 was still OK as far as I know.The new Wychwood range seems to be very hit and miss

Yeah, I've heard the Wychwood are a bit hit and miss. Mate of mine had one that leaked.

I have a mk2 F&L - it has been faultless, no issues at all, zero. Used it a lot over the last 3 years... very stable, even in gales and is quick to set-up, offers really good protection. Only negative is the pack down size and weight, it ain't what I'd call light. But then if it's going on the barrow, doesn't matter I suppose. I use mine for overnighters and long day sessions when conditions dictate. The dedicated groundsheet is good, also the pouch is pretty nifty and I've also got the mozi mesh - which is excellent. Don't have the overwrap though, as if I want a bivvy, I use my Pioneer.
Are you sure?
