Hi
I do a lot of very short overnighters.
I use a supa brolly now, but it is to heavy and not very practically.
Have been looking at the lo Pro and the hide. Which of the two would you recommend?

I have the Lo Po. I think it is around 4 kilos with only the pegs. It's long when packed down - 6ft. I think it's a great little brolly for exactly short overnighters. If you peg it low then the sides tight, but if you want to peg it high and sit on a chair under it, then I think it is best to use it with a pair of storm poles - otherwise the sides tend to flap in the wind. That will of course add to the overall weight. Haven't heard bad things about the Hide, but I have no experience with it.

I was considering a low pro but the 6ft length put me off as I carry my rods net and shelter in an unhooking mat. The longer shelter length would make it unbalanced and harder to carry. If I used a quiver i would possibly buy be as they look good.

With the addition of storm poles you are looking at 4kg plus.

My tempest weighs 4kg, packs down smaller, no storm poles required and sometimes no pegs, and is possible more robust and no internal spokes.

Mmm... Thought they were around 3 kilos.
Maybe I should have a closer look at the hide.

Probably is without pegs and packaging

Hides are poorly made and with cheap material in my opinion

I read they are 3.3 / 3.4 kilo without pegs.

I agree nash Hide cheaply made go with the lo pro esp good gear

The lo pro is a bit over priced in my opinion.

So are camo beds and Cotswold luggage

Okay - not as easy as I thought.
Are there any other super light weight brolly/shelters I might have forgotten?
Price is not of super concern.

Thanks for your input so far.

I think the Nash Hide is pretty decent good material etc I'd go for the larger one though. Quite a few use them on my syndicate water.

If light and quick are the priority go for the lo pro.
If strong and stable are the priority go with the tempest brolly.

I've got both and to be honest find the lo pro too low (I am 6ft 2). You can lift it up but not enough for me if I put a bed under it as it needs to spread wide enough to cover the length of the bed if that makes sense

I use the titan hide in the summer and that works well for me, also more compact to carry and better coverage

I've got the original hide since the day it was released, I love it, small, light, extremely quick to put up angel take down my only wish is they do a v2 of the smaller one with, vents and for me it would be perfect
