Same here. Thought it was pricey for a budget brand but spec looked decent for what I am looking for

Ya but at 55 to big for that type of brolly I think 45 is better

Fox specialist is THE day brolley

I have a £20 NGT 45 inch brolly, it's taken some stick over the last two years and yet is still holding itself together.
There really is no faster shelter to put up. Spike in ground, open brolly, put on spike, you're covered. Weighs nowt too.
If it breaks, buy another for what they cost.

I wouldn't use my Fast and Light for most of my day sessions, unless I know I am going to be in one swim all day and the weather is properly crap - good as it is, it's a big old bit of kit and is hardly light. I have a simple Korum brolly - the centre pole unscrews and I've added storm caps to the ribs - so loads of room under it and it pegs down at two points on the rear. About half the weight of my Aqua shelter and takes up way less space when packed down. I've it had a long time and it still doesn't leak. Pals of mine use Fox and Nash brollies - all leak or in the case of a nash one, it exploded with my mate sitting under it. Hilarious, but err, not that funny for him.

Depends on how carpy you need to look. Some decent match style dome brollies out there .peg down at the back and also have storm pole threads. I've had my wychwood solace for years and if what others say is true about weight probably be my first to look at.

TFG Oval brolly for me on day sessions. It has storm sides, so I can also use it on overnighters as well.
Spent most of last summer and winter under it, although I do have an overwrap. Had it a few years now, and it is still going strong, even though I do use and abuse my gear.
