Its nice snd stable. It has 2 storm pole points on the outer ribs which can be easily removed and relocated to the front ribs if required. ( i managed to blag 2 fittings from daiwa FOC).
Picked my mission unused for 60 quid. Ebayed the groundsheet.
Pegs, bag and storm poles that came with it as i did not need / have already so the brolly only really cost me just under 20 quid.

If you want to save as much weight as possible use guy ropes on the front ribs rather than storm poles.

Crikey I can't remember the last time I saw someone use guy ropes on a brolly. Solar used to sell them, two pegs and a length of cord. I still have some somewhere.

My old fox evo came with guy ropes for the side and back panels, rarely used.

Guy ropes... Probably way back when everyone had a Steadfast green wavelock 50" nubrolli at best and a Fox adjusta a -level bedchair or a lafuma bed.

You're probably right. I was still slumming it on an Argos type bedchair right into the 90's, although I did get the Nashy cover for it in the mid 80's.
