Has anyone used one of these pop up jobs and are they any good?

Would be used primarily for short sessions on a large water I fish to cut down on bulk/weight.

They look half decent in the pics but wondered if anyone has first hand experience, including folding the thing down! Cheers

I have one. It's a great day shelter. Never tried it on an overnighter. Never had a problem packing it down and I am quite a clumsy fellow.

This offering from Quest looked interesting , it has a zipped in groundsheet and a bit bigger than the fox one .

I have one & use it for overnighters, snug but enough room if you don't take the kitchen sink.

Lightweight & compact packed down quick to put up & surprisingly solid if the wind picks up, packing down is easy once you know how, plenty of videos on you tube.

Also got a tempest but prefer this because of the lack of bulk.

Hope this helps.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
