I have a tempest 100T but in the summer I like to use a solar undercover brolly.
Quick, easy, light and packs down very small.
The 100T is great, but there’s just something about being under a brolly that’s a little old school!

Tempest Brolly or Fox Evo (if you can find one)

Monkey Climber x Forge camo brolly.
This is what I use all year round I have the mozzy mesh for it ,and a winter wrap which I don’t use tbh.
Good quality aswell.

Aqua Ultralite 100 with zero trimmings (ditch the infill & gsheet) - 5.3kg and can be set high or low - better head height and coverage than a fast & light and pretty much the same weight!

I agree mate. 45 old nubrolli for the days but the tempest brolly is absolutely perfect for anything else. Size is great for putting in the Barrow as well.

I got an axs brolly , not your conventional brolly as such , but it’s taller , helps me limbo under it easier 😂, light and goes up dead quick , tons of room. Only downside is it does need storm poles when windy as it’s a bit ‘ wobbly ‘….. might be worth a look

Nash groundhog oval. 3.2 kg.

If you can find one have a look at the Monkey Climber x Forge camo brolly.
Unreal bit of kit
If not the ESP Lo Pro and even the Hideouts are quick enough to put up and down, lights and will give you slightly better cover than a brolly

Fairly certain my Tempest V2 Air isn't to disimilar in footprint to the Temptest Brolly and I wouldn't be without it for days/short overnighters (though I have used it for weeks away with the wrap).
Carping wise I went from the Fox Evo (loved it would get another in a second) to the Fox Supa (hated the boss inside, personal thing) to the Tempest Air.
The Tempest Brolly comes in at 5.5kg, I was going to mention the Fox Frontier Lite but that's 8kg.

I hear you on these, but getting in and out of the Korum progress graphite shelter is a nightmare with the sides setup, unless you're about 5 ft.

Hi Baitman,
You got me onto this setup before the forum went down, and I love it. So good for a day session. And your advice about the storm caps was spot on.
My only gripe is that I am 6ft 6, and it is definitely on the smallish side for me, but it works.
It will be great for my 6 yearold boy and I when we are on a lake in the summer and need it set up as a normal brolly too for a break from the sun.
The ease of putting it up/down means that moving swim is not an issue.
Thank you.

Used brollies for years, crouching down each time you are in or out, limited for usable space. I use a Tempest 100T now, never going back to a brolly - especially with the spokes and hub inside.
Tempest or similar, lightweight, up in 2mins and enough space for a session for one person no problem.

Agree about the Tempest.
I use mine for overnighters during the week, and wouldn't be without it.

I agree, a bog standard Tempest Brolly is hard to beat in terms of weight to coverage ratio. Ditch all the bells and whistles and it's a handy little shelter.

Stripped down nylon tempest brolly surely has to be the ideal ? you'd only need the brolly without the bag, possibly the mozzie infill if you dont like the mozzies and 3 pegs would be all you need - up in seconds and weighs next to nothing and up as quick if not quicker than a brolly.
