What they lack in strength compared against multi-rib bivvies, brollies more than make up for with speed and practicality; in reality, do you really need to be able to stand on the top of your dwelling when you're looking for a portable shelter?
The origin of modern carp fishing brollies comes from an oval design anglers would adapt, attaching sides and front panels to suit their needs. These days the angler is well-served thanks to the Wychwood MHR series, a range of brollies to suit every situation.
Based around a space-saving central boss and featuring ultra-tough materials, MHR brollies are a light year away from those original DIY shelters of yesteryear, offerings great functionality, design and amazing value for money.
The regular MHR brolly comes in both a 50inch (A.K.A. compact) and a 60inch sizing depending on just how much cover you require, and there's also an MHR System in the range that can be fully battened down in the harshest of winters to seal the front for you and increase warmth. MHR actually stands for Maximum Head Room, which highlights the compact internal boss system that allows for plenty of space inside the brolly.
All of the brollies in the range come with our awesome Ripstop material, which is light and incredibly robust. The attached storm poles at the side of the brolly clip up in transit to negate the need for screwing on and off, and are accompanied with a neoprene cover for the points to be protected during transit. Rather uniquely, the rear draft skirt in the brolly has been extended, which allows you to place any luggage behind your bedchair, clear of the wet or muddy floor without having to use the supplied heavy-duty groundsheet if you're aiming to travel light. Look slightly north of this and you'll find a pair of mesh pockets that have, similarly to the extended skirt, proved a massive hit with those that have entrusted in the Wychwood brolly range.
Fast, light, practical, user-friendly, durable, robust – how many more reasons do you need?
