Anyone use one / can recommend me one please? Just for day sessions when it may rain / need some shade.

After a normal brolly rather than a day shelter as I'm hoping I might be able to use it on a punt as well, needs to tilt.

Fox do one that can be used as a normal brolly or with storm poles

I have a Daiwa green 50" & it's good quality at a fair price.

Speaking from experience, whichever brolly you choose look for taped seams if possible.

Assuming you use a chair and not a bed chair I found the Korum Pentalite as the best day shelter, still fundamentally a brolly, I've used. Non of the hassle of trying to get the center pole in the ground. It's very roomy and can handle some pretty rough weather. It's light as well.

I've looked at the pentalite a few times but ideally wanted one I could potentially use on a punt at well which would rule that out.

See they do a Graphite Brolly shelter but can't find any reviews or much info on that

I use the korum super steel brolly, not light but had it out in wind gusting to 40mph and stood up well. No tilt per say but the pole unscrews and goes into an angled thread on the centre hub which I've found more reliable than adjustable tilt.

Thanks, not seen the super steel for sale but will look.

Decided to ditch the punt idea and was about to pull the trigger on a pentalite but found an old post on here and most users not rating them

There's a korum Graphite Brolly which has a centre pole and wondering if that's more sturdy

This one is decent, three rear ribs on the floor for stability, a couple of pegging points.
I have got one for the times I fish off a chair.

Looked at that 👍🏽 think the Graphite Brolly is just that with side skirts?

Hello buddy,

I recently purchased the korum pentalite, I am really happy with it, super easy to put up and its a good size for a small footprint, 👍🏻
