How are you getting on with the Tactical Brolly? I was going to get one, but whenever I see them on the bank, the spoke retainer seems to have rusted badly. Made me wonder about the quality of the rest of it.

Mine rusted away and went bang rendering it useless after less than a years use
Don't get me started on the leaking issues

It's ridiculous in this day and age they can't make a brolly that doesn't leak for god sake it's only an umbrella don't know how they would get on with something complicated people still having issues with leaking there going backwards
I've had cheap £25 brollys got one now never leaked had the wavelock in the 80s no problem at all
They must be using the cheapest factory in china that they can find

It's the same as any product nowadays mate, fishing or not. Chinese production is done as quickly as possible at the cheapest cost. Quality goes out if the window as it eats into profit. I remember my first microwave lasting about 15 years, but now you're lucky to get a year out of one!

Heard that story a few times with them. Such a shame that a good design is wasted when it goes into production. What's wrong with these companies?!

I love mine mate, great bit of kit. So far so good anyway, seems like a few people have had nightmares with it.

Been really grateful twice this season to have the front panel for the Solar undercover in the car, as the wind has turned and blasted heavy rain straight in. Of course you can pull the pegs and turn it, but then you can't see your rods!
