Maybe if you're 4ft tall 😅
Just chuck it together in your hands. Tempest air is 30 seconds at most.

Sounds like you need a tempest brolly. Arguably the best shelter there is. Rapid at getting up and down for overnighters, no aditional poles to have to faff about with. Its all i ever use, whether its overnighters or a week in France. Cannot rate them highly enough.

I used the original one for a season down on the windy windswept banks of the River Trent in some really big winds
and unlike your imagination there was no faffing around as you put it
very very easy not once did I ever have any dramas
but like everything else people that have never used one often imagine problems that dont actually happen

To be fair Gerry, there was very little left to the imagination re faffing about with the way that guy illustrated it
He left me thinking more kite than shelter, I suppose you could hold it over your head in strong winds ...was a joke.
Those poles looked very flimsy but then remembered my Evo with it's T4 ali was very flexible in the wind, more a strength than a weakness maybe.

JRC Cocoon 2G Shelter? Bit more protection than a standard brolly.

the Easy shelter is like my Gardner pop up i had about 30 yrs ago.......... flimsy as anything and used to flap around like a good un with a wind of more than 5mph.........

Oh you bought back a memory Used to use my Gardner pop up to keep my camping gaz fridge in on week sessions and I hadn't used it for a year or so and as the Carp show was on at Kempton I thought I would do a Sat night then straight to the show but when I came to pack up I could not fold the bstd up
So bundle it into the car and left it set up in the carp shows carppark

Yep - Lo pro is smaller than a tempest and lower. I've had a chair on my bedchair in mine and it's pretty tight and not hugely comfy. Now using Aqua ultralite and the extra height is a massive godsend.
