I'm looking for an easy / quick to set up, good quality shelter that's high enough to accommodate a chair as I often fish into the small hours but not necessarily all night. Was looking at the Trakker MC-60 Brolly V2 or Fox R-Series - seems a bit low though (I'm 6ft 4').

Been using the tempest 100t , good clearance , rock solid. But will need the skull cap to avoid excessive condensation.

Looks great value. Trakker may be a bit sturdier for overnighters, big price dif though.

oh yes definitely the Trakker 100t is a different shelter all together

but then for almost £200 more you should expect it to be initially thought you said it was for day fishing ?

Yes I did. I fish club waters, out of the way lakes and rivers in Holland as opposed to a busy day ticket that's cost me £20-30 for 24hrs. I prefer to be fishing first & faff around with a shelter / bivvy only if weather or the session makes it necessary as they attract a lot of unwanted attention from kids / ‘punishers' etc. 😉
I've an old JRC STI shelter & a Dave Lane model but they're more suited to bedchairs. Trakker looks ideal for an overnighter too...so I'll have to bite on the price dif. Good link much appreciated.
