My Fox supa brolly is on its last legs.
It owes me nothing but it's now showing signs of "battle damage"
I would like to replace it with something similar in size and "erection"
I like the ease of drying it, unlike my trakker T 100 which is like wrestling with an octopus 🐙 to dry
I'm not looking for a "front, ground sheet, infill blah blah, just a good sold waterproof Brolly.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers Mike

I still use my Wychwood Solace, now discontinued but its a great, well made bit of kit so the latest iteration from that company is where I'd look when the time comes.

Stick with fox mate, have a look at the fox 60".
I've got one, plenty of coverage for a wideboy sized bed, held up by two sticks, pinned down by two pegs, quick up and down with no frills, just drop the lid when it rains 👍

I have a Solar Undercover.
Must say I find it really easy to use, good coverage and the large vent at the back a god send on really hot days

Echo this. Really happy with my solar undercover. Small gripe is that the centre boss sometimes can be tricky to undo because the button doesn't press in fully. Mainly an issue with cold hands in winter. Fold up and rolls up nicely with storm poles still in and the zip on front is ideal, though I rarely use it.

I'm another very happy Solar Undercover user. Had it since it 1st came out to replace my Tempest and wouldn't change it now

Another vote for the Solar Undercover brolly. I've had Tempests and Pioneers but prefer a normal brolly and the Solar is a decent one.
I've also had an original lo pro and found that the way you need to peg out the sides it's too wide for some tight swims. Not sure what the benefit of a really wide brolly with no height is.

I'm under my Solar Undercover as we speak, the perfect Spring/Summer shelter in my opinion 👌

The Undercover looks like a great bit of kit. The only thing letting it down for me is the horrible camo pattern. The green, which appears to have been discontinued, looks much nicer in my opinion.

Same here; I would probably buy a green one.

Solars camo pattern is terrible, almost as bad as omc's

I'm not a camo guy. Got the green one cheap when they discontinued.
I got the green second hand. Proper bargain and going strong.
