I am in the market for a new brolly system for around £300.
I could do with one that hasn't got a massive footprint but has a bit of room inside,also one that doesn't suffer heavily with condensation.

Any suggestions would be great 👍🏻

Have a lookie here

The Rod Hutchinson Cabrio Hybrid Brolly is what I use, both with and without the extension.
You can fix it on storm sticks or with the front hoop bars.

Proper piece of kit, I absolutely love it. Plenty of room

You can get a Trakker Tempest brolly with a skull cap for roughly that if you shop around and I highly recommend that. I've also been looking at the Solar offerings which look very good, again will be around your budget

I enquired about the solar sp brolly system but they have stopped doing them,the undercover they do isn't as good a material.

Regarding the tempest do you have any issues with condensation and are they dark inside during the day,bizarre question I know but a lad I know claims his dripped with moisture all the time and it was bright inside,I think myself he could of had one of the older ones

I have never had an issue with condensation in any of my tempest brollys. I have a 100t at the moment. its not dark dark during the day inside but the material is 10,000hh so it is quite shaded - much better than the hide xl I used to have!
If you want a setup that is really dark inside during the day the aquatexx material is great, or the Cyprinus Typhoon is a cheaper alternative.

I also have a Tempest 100T, love it and it is streets ahead compared to other brollies I have had in the past.
Enough space for session fishing, has vents, quick to erect and break down, nice and tall for easy access.

Quality all round.

I reckon the 100T is pretty much the perfect shelter. Goes up quick, packs down small enough, decent head height, vents for the summer. You have the option to buy all the add on nonsense but I just use it as it is year round.

I have the 100T and have never had a problem with condensation. But I always use a ground sheet and the cap and fish with the front open.
I guess if you fished on grass, no ground sheet, door closed or boiled your kettle in it you will get condensation like every other shelter.

The aquatex would be great but smashes my budget out the park

I have a V2 brolly and never had an issue with condensation but I do not use a solid front panel, just mozzy mesh. I do often use a skull cap which does create more shade during the day, but again cannot claim in to be dark in there, but that isn't something I want. I am looking around for a replacement as really want vents which the V2 does not have. Happily considering the newer Tempests (can't justify the Aquatexx cost) but wanting to see the Solar offerings in the flesh before I spend my hard earned

re the solar sp brolly system I looked at this but !! its a bigger footprint as its deeper than the solar undercover system and a LOT heavier you say the material isnt as good
but the undercover has a 10,000 HH rating so dont think there is anything wrong with that ! I have bought one only had it up in the garden and its a quality bit of kit and to me its the perfect size the weights on the website and dealers are all incorrect /lies

its actually a lot lighter than they state but Solar dont give a toss about altering their mistake ( very tempted to report them to trading standards )


Brolly and carry bag 5kg.
Complete system storm poles pegs etc as it came after removing the box 7.3kg

I can get my bed right to the back without touching the sides with enough room for my other bits
it 150 deep x 150 high x 264cm I have heard they are now doing it in Green as well as Camo
I do know any single skin will suffer condensation in winter interior vapour shields just hide it exterior skull caps keep it on the outside

I would check out the Wychwood, I think it's based around their MHR brolly which is a quality bit of kit

If you like the v2 the newer brolly 100 has vents in the back, really nice looking shelter
