FOX R-SERIES BROLLY, BROLLY SYSTEM AND BROLLY EXTENSION
ON THE bank you’d struggle to tell the R-Series Brolly from its far more expensive big brother the Ultra 60 (and the Supa Brolly that preceded it). Yet this one starts at just £140.
The full system can be bought for £220 and there’s even a Brolly Extension that super-sizes these shelters and fits two bedchairs.
While this brolly might not have the vapour shield and Ventec rip-stop fabric of the Ultra 60, the nylon covering has an impressive 10,000mm hydrostatic head waterproof rating.
There are extended side skirts, front drainage piping and four storm caps on these brollies. The standard Brolly has two storm poles, the system comes with four.
Both have a full-sized groundsheet and four ribs in contact with the ground for supreme stability in high winds.
The Brolly Extension, at £80, enables you to convert your brolly into a proper two-man shelter. It’s an ideal extra to convert your shelter for longer sessions or when bringing a guest.
The extension zips on to the open front of the brolly and an oversized baffle keeps wind and rain out. The inside space isn’t ‘pinched’ by the extension, and the optional front panel fits perfectly.
The Brolly System weighs 9kg all in, while the Brolly alone is 7.5kg.
