The Shelter is supplied in a spacious bag and comes with two lightweight aluminium tension rods for added support. In a market flooded with cheap bivvies, the Nash H-Gun Strongbow is a serious contender. OK, it’s never going to trouble its established big brothers like the Titan, but for those just getting into the sport or for those on a tight budget, the Strongbow is the perfect choice. The Strongbow is capable of withstanding gale force winds and monsoon like storms. The skin is heavy-duty for long term waterproofing and durability. It also features zip-able panels to expose mosquito windows, a rear mesh vent to enhance airflow, a storm window and a removable groundsheet. Some anglers may prefer to keep this fitted, which is useful if setting up your umbrella over wet ground. This proved to be easy using the telescopic alloy storm rods. It took me around 5 minutes.

One final, added bonus is the two-rod retention straps, which will securely house your rod whilst you rebait or adjust your rig. We found that the Fox R-series brolly system is a really solid, well thought-out, and well-built fishing shelter and is a great all-rounder.The canopy of the shelter is constructed from PU-coated nylon, which has been treated to increase its durability and extend its lifespan. The extended side skirts allow for extra protection from the elements in particularly bad conditions.

There are various extras you can get (many of which come as standard) with oval brollies including groundsheets, front panels with windows and roll up and removable doors, and even full winter wraps. All these extras only add to the versatility of the oval brolly and allow the angler to simply take the extras required to cater for the conditions at hand.

The Mission Overnighter also comes fitted with second storm caps, which are located on the sides of the brolly and can be used with shorter storm rods (not supplied). These are ideal for use in the windiest and wettest conditions, when you want that little extra support to prevent the brolly from flapping or shuddering in the wind.
