Fox Easy Brolly 60

The Fox Easy Brolly 60 is a popular and versatile shelter designed for anglers who prioritize quick setup, portability, and reliable protection from the elements. As its name suggests, its a brolly, a type of angling shelter that is essentially a large, specialized umbrella with a frame and a front extension.

Core Features and Design

1. The Brolly System: At its heart, the Easy Brolly is based on a traditional brolly frame, but with some key modern innovations. The 60 measurement refers to the span of the umbrella, which provides ample coverage for one angler and their gear. This system allows for a very fast setupyou simply open the brolly and peg it down.

2. Compact and Lightweight: One of the most significant selling points is its portability. When packed down, the Easy Brolly is relatively short and slim, making it easy to transport in a quiver or on a barrow. Its lightweight construction is ideal for mobile anglers who dont want to be weighed down by a heavy bivvy.

3. Space-Saving Frame: Unlike some older brolly designs, the Easy Brolly features a unique, space-saving frame. The central boss is positioned low and tucked away, which maximizes the internal head and shoulder room. This is a crucial feature, as it allows the angler to sit up comfortably on their chair without the central pole getting in the way.

4. 8mm Fiberglass Frame: The frame is constructed from 8mm fiberglass, which offers a balance of strength and flexibility. This material is resilient to wind and stress, while also being lightweight. The fiberglass ribs provide a strong, taut shape to the brolly canopy.

5. Durable Ven-Tec Fabric: The brolly is made from Foxs Ven-Tec fabric, which is known for its high quality and performance. This material is waterproof, breathable, and durable, ensuring you stay dry in heavy rain while minimizing condensation.

6. Adjustable Height and Tension: The central pole is adjustable, allowing you to set the height of the brolly to suit the terrain and your preference. The tension of the canopy can also be adjusted to create a taut and stable structure.

Practical Use and Versatility

• Short Sessions and Mobile Angling: The Easy Brolly excels in scenarios where a full bivvy is overkill. Its rapid deployment and compact size make it perfect for day trips, overnight sessions, and for anglers who like to move between swims.
• Protection from Rain and Sun: It provides excellent protection from both rain and harsh sunlight, offering a comfortable and dry space to fish from.
• Adaptable to Different Terrains: The simple pegging system and adjustable height allow it to be set up easily on a variety of bankside terrains, from flat banks to slightly uneven ground.
• Compatibility with Accessories: The design is often compatible with additional accessories like storm poles for added stability in windy conditions, and sometimes, overwraps or extensions for more comprehensive protection.

Summary

The Fox Easy Brolly 60 is a testament to modern angling shelter design. It combines the classic, rapid-deployment style of a brolly with contemporary materials and an intelligent, space-saving frame. Its a top choice for the angler who values speed, mobility, and a light-and-fast approach to their fishing, all while providing dependable shelter from the unpredictable elements. Its not a full-blown bivvy, but for its intended purpose, its one of the best on the market.
