Is this the ultimate shelter? I'm not fussed about space. Infact I love a compact fishing gaff. The main things are small pack down size, lightweight and easy to pop up and take down. Regular brolly type shelters are too long when packed down for my liking. I've got an atom plus (which I love) but I want something easier for work night fishing.
Any thoughts are much appreciated

Get yourself the new korum progress shelter. 2.2 kg without centre
pole. Just enough space for a compact bed.

I've also got a fox specialist brolly that I use in summer but reckon a bit more coverage would be a good idea as the nights draw in. I might just be making up reasons to buy more gear though.

Complete overkill for a work overnight especially if carry ones gear.

The fox easy shelter plus is very good for a over nighter I have been loving it this year, I do have the tempest brolly 100 also but prefer to take the fox in the warmer month will bring the tempest out with over wrap when the temperature drops I do love the tempest too

Can't fault mine. Plenty of room even for several nights if needed

Just had a look.
What happens if it rains and you want to stay dry?

Swapped my Fast n Light for a Tempest. The Tempest is superb, arguably quicker to put up than a Fast n Light, easier storage (not 6ft long) and superior coverage

I've got 2 tempests the v2 nylon bomb proof one. Strong frame and brilliantly made and the advanced. Weight difference is massive. Summer like the full vents on the advanced and how dark it is inside. Winter nylon with skull wrap. Dries quickly.more light. Also got the aqua brolly brillant bit of kit with the wrap but struggled with my nash bed fits in but tight. One thing I will say is never leave the front on them when packing away. It will damage poles when setting up.

No.
The original Tempest Brolly V1 @ 4.4kg is the ultimate, followed by the V2 at 5 kg. The 100 is 5.5 kg. It winds me up how everything is getting heavier. Even the Lo Pro V2 put on weight

I know, Its because they always feel the need to "upgrade" which normally means putting vents and other needless stuff on a shelter that designed to be used open fronted.
