As the name suggests, they are ‘lo’ though. I had a mk2 and whilst great coverage, if swim size isn’t an issue, but god it punished my old knees and back crawling in and out of it.

If pack size isn’t an issue you’re spot on.

Lo Pro is 3.7kg and doesn’t need storm poles.
Pack length is 173cm.

QuickDraw 58” pack length 147cm.

ESP Lo Pro Mk2

Hear more about quickdraw but these are light have loads of coverage and easy to set up.

Not true. I have literally just received mine. Side poles are fiddly to fit but not as bad as everyone made out. Just needs some time and care really.

So far, no issues at all with the button. I gave it a small amount of grease to help it

I am selling my Solar Undercover, only used it once, so as good as new.

I bought it after seeing my mate use his a few times and decided to sell my 100T and buy the Solar, but have decided to go back to the 100T because of the additional room plus I've got the rest of the bits for it..

If you're interested let me know

You can leave the storm poles (side ones) on the ESP. Get it.

Thanking you sir.

Looking like the Solar then. Ability to leave the stormpoles in is very attractive.

I've heard they have issues with the button when taking it down and the side poles are a nightmare to get in.

I grabbed a solar undercover for the same reasons. So glad I did - cracking piece of kit

Looking at scaling my quick overnighter gear down and want a true brolly. I have the RS at the moment and although advertised as a "brolly" it's most definitely not a brolly.

I have a bedchair that is 85cm wide and 200cm long, I'm a big lad so can't go any smaller.

I was looking at -

Quickdraw 58" (a mate is selling his, I know they are out of stock everywhere)
Sonik Opti-cam
The new Quest which hasn't been released yet.
