The new Quickdraw oval brollys are quick to set up and pack away, provide ample coverage for a bedchair and kit while providing the angler with excellent visibility for observing the water. They are available in two sizes 52” and 58” and include a unique design Mozzy Drape, mini detachable groundsheet, 4 storm poles, pegs and outer bag. Their minimal bulk means they can fit in lots of quivers and rod bags. The brollys feature a dark olive green 210d cover with 5,000mm hydrostatic head. The inner surface has a lightproof laminate to minimize sunlight ingress. The frame is made from ultra strong and sturdy 8.5mm fibreglass ribs and features a space saving locking mechanism which maximises headroom even when the brolly is set low. Three pegging points on the storm sides allow the brolly to be set at different heights depending on the angler’s preference, uneven ground and inclement weather. The 52” brolly is for the angler that prefers a compact shelter, perfect for bedchairs up to 2m in length. Although compact, this brolly still provides excellent coverage with plenty of room in front of the bedchair when it is pushed to the back of the brolly. The longest ribs are 52” (132cm) so this is the brolly’s packdown length and it complements the 10’ Quickdraw rods with their 50” retracted length. The mini detachable groundsheet is a useful feature, protecting rucksacks and carryalls from rising damp and the four lightweight stormpoles (shorter for the side and longer for the front ribs) with augered points and a cam lock mechanism provide stable support. The Mozzy Drape is of a unique design. It attaches to the front of the brolly using toggles through the eyelets on the brolly and is then pegged at each side. The elastic cord running the length of the mesh can be tightened so it is a snug fit around the brolly and the fine mesh simply hangs down with the aid of small weights located around the bottom edge. The drape provides excellent protection from biting insects on warm summer nights but is easy to enter and exit simply by lifting up the mesh and then dropping it down behind you. This means that there are no zips or magnets that remain open after a hasty exit when the angler is playing a fish so that no mozzy’s can simply fly inside the brolly. The Mozzy Drapes both weigh under 1kg and are supplied in a handy draw string bag. The 58” brolly is 12” wider than the 52” with longer front ribs allowing for longer and wider bedchairs to be easily accommodated. The storm sides are slightly longer than the 52” so the larger brolly can be set higher for extra head room. The packdown length is 58” (147cm) and just like the smaller model it is supplied with a Mozzy Drape, mini groundsheet, 4 storm poles, 8 pegs and the outer bag. 52” total weight (brolly, mozzy drape, mini groundsheet, 4 storm poles, 8 pegs & outer bag) 5.0kg. Brolly on its own 3.70kg, Mozzy Drape 900g 58” total weight (brolly, mozzy drape, mini groundsheet, 4 storm poles, 8 pegs & outer bag) 5.3kg. Brolly on its own 3.90kg, Mozzy Drape 970g
