Looks decent , are they deep enough to get everything underneath seeing as it's only 1500 deep ?

That's crazy cheap for a great system. Can get my gear in it no problem at all, only negative I can think of is that there's no groundsheet with it, but that's no issue to sort one.

If you're really tall and sit at the back you'd be in the spokes, but I can't see any brolly being any different. It's significantly higher at the front than my mates Tempest.

I've used it in pouring rain and high winds several times and it's rock solid.

Only used mine once since buying on the pre-black Friday sale (paid £5 more than it is now) and 1st impressions are very positive. Plenty of height and had it up in horrible wind and rain and it dealt with it perfectly (as it should). I don't think it would fit in a quiver, definitely doesn't in my compact one, may squeeze into a full sized quiver though

I've got a couple of Thinking Anglers Cover ups to use where I feel a groundsheet is needed. One cover up is enough for me to keep my luggage dry but does not give full coverage

1500mm sounds very narrow for the depth - assuming that is the measurement from the back to the front door ?

your right thats one of the great things about this shelter
IF!!!!
your looking for a shelter thats going to fit in the smaller swims the design of it means the bed can go right back as its flat backed
it sort of sits between the really big 60" brolly systems and the tiny compact ones for my purposes its the perfect size and great quality

In the dry I just use a couple of £1 tarps to put my gear on (loads of cow pats where I fish!). In winter I've used a groundsheet from my Trakker Cayman that fits really well.

My sonik AXS is only 1500mm but as Gerry said the flat back
