I did the same, it went down to £135 over the Easter Weekend, haven't had a normal type brolly since the Lo Pro

The Solar undercover is a great Brolly. I don't think you'll be disappointed

i have a Older Hide but ive always loved the look of a more traditional brolly.
might be tempted to have a look..

Ive had the mk1 lopro since 2016 used once a week all year round all weathers and never let me down showing its age now though so will be getting the mk 2 soon. All the mk 1 accessories fit the mk2 100%. Personally i think its the best short session shelter out there. Im 6ft 1 and yes it can be low but id not have anything else. On the tidal in the winter set low keeps me warm and dry 👌

My Mk1 Lo Pro still has some life in it so won't replace it yet but will definitely get another one. I'm just over 6ft and it's great for nearly every session except the worst of weather.

Anyone bought a new Lo Pro yet?
Recommend?

Had the lo-pro MK1 with all the add ons, I liked the weight and ease of setting it up but even with my compact bedchair and the sides of the brolly spread wide and the front low the brolly would touch the bedchair at the head and the foot end and the condensation would soak the sleeping bag, if they only made the rear section a touch wider I'd of kept it.

What will it be like setting up in strong winds looks flimsy ? Should have had rear vents as well.

I gave up on my MK1 low pro after 2 nights due to the ends of the bed touching the sides. From memory the fox evo brollys had the same issue. It's the angle the sides comes down as much as the width of the shelter that is the problem with this design. Can't beat the traditional oval with sides IMO.

Weird to read such different reviews. Ive used mine weekly since 2016 and all year round. It does flap a bit in the 2 named storms i fished in but kept me safe and dry. Wychwood compact bedchair had no issue touching sides but im only 6ft1”. They may look flimsy but pegged out right mines been the best allround shelter ive had in over 30yrs. I guess it doesn't suit everyone, i only take bare essentials if i cant carry it it wont be coming with me no barrows thanks. Fishing tidal stretches can be sketchy. Ill get the mk2 someday once my mk1 has totally had it. Rear vents are just unnecessary for my style of fishing. Just new trend but each to their own.

I saw one set up in a tackle shop today and to be fair it looks better than the mark 1.

I've got one.

Not totally sold on it TBH but it is light (though a bit long in transit), has good coverage but i think it could have been better with a few tweeks like a lot of ESP kit of late.

Im a big ESP fan, but the fact it too a MK2 version to get a basic rain gutter fitted on the front is a joke in this day and age

Not much different to a tempest really
How many different versions did that take to get things like
A zip in front air vents etc
Took a mk 2 to get pins put in the legs to set it up properly..
that's supposed to be the “number 1” shelter now.

I don't own a lo pro but it's a basic umbrella with a couple of extras and if that suits your angling then it probably doesn't need much more if and when any of mine give up the ghost I think that's what I will get.

I have a fast and light mk 2 and a tempest mk 1 and chop and change to suit the season and water
For a day shelter I use a korum fibre shield and that's almost perfect for that.
Take the middle pole out and use 2 tent pegs for the storm sides 1 in the back and jobs a good un.
