Weird to read such different reviews. Ive used mine weekly since 2016 and all year round. It does flap a bit in the 2 named storms i fished in but kept me safe and dry. Wychwood compact bedchair had no issue touching sides but im only 6ft1”. They may look flimsy but pegged out right mines been the best allround shelter ive had in over 30yrs. I guess it doesn't suit everyone, i only take bare essentials if i cant carry it it wont be coming with me no barrows thanks. Fishing tidal stretches can be sketchy. Ill get the mk2 someday once my mk1 has totally had it. Rear vents are just unnecessary for my style of fishing. Just new trend but each to their own.

Ive had the mk1 lopro since 2016 used once a week all year round all weathers and never let me down showing its age now though so will be getting the mk 2 soon. All the mk 1 accessories fit the mk2 100%. Personally i think its the best short session shelter out there. Im 6ft 1 and yes it can be low but id not have anything else. On the tidal in the winter set low keeps me warm and dry 👌

The reel positioning is different to xtractors and insurgents but unsure about scopes. The zips are a bstard too really grabby

Yes mate cracking little rods. Had a 19lb river pike on one in January. As for the okuna pulzar reels they're fantastic reels

After some recommendations for 10ft rods non retracting. Budget is about 120£ for 3.
