ok its time for a new brolly

I go with my son for days every now and then and my old wavelock 50 has died
its not done bad nearly 30 years

so on the market for a new brolly

I have a bivy or two for the longer sessions

but I am looking for some thing along the lines of a LARGE OVAL with sides

a bit like the TGgear 60inch oval brolly

but is there a bigger better option ?

I'm not a small lad by any stretch of the imagination neither is my lad so size is most important

do they make a 80 inch oval ?

Check out the wychwood mhr. Really good brolly with nice features like an extended skirt to put kit on if you don't want to use a groundsheet and a hanging pocket for receiver/phone etc. Good build quality as well.

I also highly recommend the MHR, if you are not bothered about vents you could pick up a Mk1 second hand for a good price, they also do a front for it that loops over the centre boss to turn it into a full shelter

Have a look at the nash titan hide xl plenty of space for day chairs with all your gear and decent head height or even the new trakker tempest 100T brolly when it's released later this month

There's only one mate, and certain selling pages exist within that. Just go to market place and do a search buddy.

They will be selling groups. There is only one market place.
From your home screen (feed) just click on market place buddy.
