My old AI two rib bivvy/brolly thingy is leaking like a sieve. I've done the seams and fabsilled it before but seems worse this year than ever. So after 20 or so of years of service I think it'll be retired to the back of the shed.

Without spending a ton of money is there anything like these out there today?

I remember Fox had one, venture, aqua/trailer too but 2 rib shelters don't seem to be a thing anymore from my searches.

Thin and light to fit on a TA quiver are pre reqs. I won't be sleeping under it, what are my options?

Cheers

Thank you, the Korum stuff does look decent but a bit of a faff (lots of bits to break).

I've never heard of Advanta guessing they're quite new, if their gear any good?

I have a feeling I'll be replacing with an oval and their system looks pretty cheap - but heavy!

Yeah the fox easy brolly looked decent and looks quick to go up too which is ideal

I was looking for a shelter earlier this year, ended up getting the Advanta one. Think the price was £100, but got it one of them Sunday AD sales for £65. An absolute bargain. It's lightweight, plenty of room, pretty decent coverage, good quality, fits in my quiver (just), 2 velcro rod straps, and it's very rigid. The first Advanta thing I've bought, and it's not too bad at all. Think you can even fit a bedchair under it. If I think on tomorrow, I'm going to my lad who's fishing tonight, I'll get in next to him and see if his bedchair fits under it.

How heavy roughly is it stripped back to shelter and a couple of poles?

Seem this one too Avid Revolve 3m Brolly, cheap as chips some adverts say it has storm pole threads. Anyone know if they do? Pictures online are pants and not in stock near me.

For fifty quid I'm tempted to have a punt!
