I all. Looking to scale down for a large water I'm fishing this year.
Wanting a lightweight shelter (as light as possible) for over nighters but it must have a mozzy mesh or I'll get eaten alive, and be quick to put up and take down.
Not looking to spend a fortune, ideally something second hand.
Fox easy shelter plus is on the list, are there any other options I've missed?

Old M3/carbon compact could be the one mate - just make sure it has the aluminium poles as the carbon ones weighed more, they came with a zip in mozzi mesh.

Fox Supa brolly compact, with either JRC multi Mozzi front or if you can find a system, they have zip in Mozzi fronts

If you really fancy a challenge, try finding an Aqualite and the additional mozzi from.
Unparalleled weight to coverage ratio. Easy to put up and take down.

Easy Shelter Plus. Had one for about four years now, roughly 200 nights fished in all seasons, big winds, heavy rain etc. Absolutely sound. My only improvement would be an extra pegging point at the back but that's easily added.

Dont think you can beat a mk1 tempest brolly for weight and set up time.
literally up and done in 2 or 3 minutes max

I am pretty sure I recently saw a shop that had a new mozzie mesh listed which could be used across multiple shelters. Either Avid or Sonik comes to mind - I can't find it at the moment but it may be worth looking out for.
wrt to mozzie mesh - a real longshot but see if you can source a Dragon Carp waterproof bedchair cover - they have a zip up pocket at the head end with an mozzie mesh included so you can take it out & place it over your head. brilliant idea & one Im amazed that no other company has copied

Cheers lads.
Good to hear some positive experiences of the easy shelter plus, as this is where I'm leaning.
Lo-pro with mozzy mesh bow also on the list.
Had a look for Aqualite/Aerolite and none available on eBay or FB currently but seems a decent shout.

darrell peck put a post on his socials looking for an aerolite last week
I expect there was a bit of a rush for anything available after he reminded everyone about them again

AI brolly, Razorback, JRC xlte, Chub Cyfish lite.... good concepts let down by the poles... someone should have improved the idea by now
