Hi ya.
Looking for a lite-weight shelter.
Looking at an umbrella,
Would like 1 of the new ESP but will not be available for 2 more months.
Or aqua fast & light,
I do have a RS brolly but want a day session short over night shelter
What else is available???

Have a look at the solar undercover brolly system - I’ve been really happy with mine!

I second the Solar Undercover Brolly. Quick to setup, decent coverage and groundsheet (bought separate) and front options for a longer sessions 👍

What weight is the brolly?

It says 4.4kg online but that seems quite heavy.

Hutchy team shelter if you can find one.

Fox easy shelter plus, can leave the door off for days & you won't get much lighter.

>>>Hutchy team shelter if you can find one. 2.4 kg. No storm poles required."""

As mentioned, absolutely brilliant, you can set it up in seconds, as fast as a bog standard fishing umbrella if you don't have all the poles fully collapsed and only 4 pegs, I still use mine to this day if I need a day shelter or just doing 24 hours and I also have the overwrap if the weather turns bad and I have happilly done week long sessions under it.

But, for even more "Simpleness", I am happy to just use a 45" or 50" umbrella which is vastly overlooked and will do nights under one like I used to do back in the 60's, sometimes I don't understand the reason why you do need a big shelter for a day session. I took our lass to a day ticket venue last week to use the cafe, and I was amazed at the number of people using complete bivvies systems and pole and feeder fishing for silvers etc

That new korum 60 inch supalite camo brollie shelter looks the part for the price. I've got the graphite 50 inch korum brolly, it's a sturdy piece of kit. Tempted to get one myself

Looks interesting but it appears to be 6.4kg so not really supa lite as the name suggests.

I think that includes the groundsheet, pegs etc. Maybe not the lightest but got to say i'm impessed with that graphite brolly so if that is the same robust standard i'll probably still buy one
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
