I have one and think it's great - really light, nice material, no issues with leaks. The mech / spokes are pretty much all out of the way. You can't go wrong really.

Mk1 was really good.. then they brought the mhr out and that was a back step imo

sorry but your talking about a different brolly all together mate

I bought one only used it a couple of times and the first time I used it I had a savage storm with 6 hours of tropical like rain and storm winds it was dry as a bone and rock solid health issues meant I havent used it since though

Don't think you are referring to the Tactical as I don't think there is a MHR version as they all have the space saver mechanism. I don't have experience of the Tactical but I did have one of the originals and they were great

I like the look of the tactical based on my use of the Solace ,The MHr brollys ..etc

I have 2x 50 inch compact Mhr and the 60 inch Mhr ,bought second hand from a new neighbour whose nr 7ft tall,said it was to small for him the 60..

Just make sure the bell cap is nice and firmly screwed in,I think that's also advice given for the tactical as well...

For me,and I've had LOADS ,of shelters ,the Whychwood brollies are great ..


Bring back the 50,it took a long time to find a new one..!

Think wychwood are bringing out a new shelter. Saw a pic and it looked really good.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
