We take a look at the brand new Fox Ultra 60 Brolly System. Website: www.carpology.net/ Facebook: / carpologymagazine Twitter: / carpology Instagram: / carpologyofficial
Not sure about Jacob, but I had mine for a year and just had to get a replacement from fox because I could not longer screw the central pole into the the central block, apparently the threading going is pretty common.
I have a love hate relationship with my ultra 60, in colder months the condensation is really bad, runs down the ribs and drips on the grounsheet, the vapour shield does work but if you don't align your bed properly it will get wet. That's my only gripe with it, the blackout material is amazing, no more waking up with the sun in the summer months, zipped up in the height of summer it's pitch black inside
I bought one and hate it. It's gone back now due to faults with the poles slipping. It's not easy to setup compared to others either. Yes, it does stay dry and it's solid and material is good quality but I regret buying this. When I get a replacement I'm selling it. When you open it up, it's not stable. I.e it doesn't just sit and allow for pegging. It's really awkward. Then you have to try and thread these thin poles through to form the rigid arch which is also a pain. You then have to attach 2 additional storm poles through the door. You then need to adjust 4 storm poles (there are 2 inside). My 2 man twin skin Bivvy is easier to put up than this. One plus is that it goes back in the bag fairly easily. If this hasn't put you off and you want to buy one, I'm selling one. Brand new camo full system... When Fox eventually send it to me.
I get my Fox Flatliner sleep system in mate with loads of room - and that's a big bedchair - probably around the size of the Nash Wideboy I think. Great bit of kit for a brolly system, I had the Supa 60 system 1st which leaked and had condensation issues, however non of that with the Ultra system. I only use it really for tight swims or quick overnighters, anything over 48hr I'm on the bivvy but I reckon it would do and be easlily comfy for longer sessions. Did you get one?.
South west carp hunter that's mad, im in Bude lol... cheers for that I'll be ordering one in the new year as I want something decent that I can whack up pretty quick on the bank for a quick session
South west carp hunter na not yet as only been here a year and still working it all out , can't seem to find a syndicate anywhere as I hate commercial fisheries ??.. I was down by the canal the other weak and a mahoosive Carp topped out by the barge with the cafe onboard, alongside it , was a decent size , am told they go to mid 20s there mate so defiantly worth a bash id say .. what boat did you get ? I've had loads but ended up selling me all ...
South west carp hunter nice one I'll have a look at that place in the new year . May see you down the canal then as I'm definitely going to have a go down there as not really seen anyone on it after the carp .. and happy new year mate
Just been out in mine during heavy rain and storms for hours! Brilliant bit of kit, completely solid and totally waterproof👍
Jacob Isbill Do you still have this and how has it stood up to wear and tear?
Update??

Otherwise the brolly is solid, hope this helps

I'm investing in a brolly system now . Sick of banging bivvy up . Any good quality yet wallet friendly ideas for 2020
That’s the one problem with my fox supa brolly is that in the winter the condensation is terrible! Wish it had that vapor shield
Anyone know if i should opt for this or the new Nash Hide ? .. can't decide and the Nash Hide is a little cheaper
Awesome..going get one in camo ...
Does the vapour shield fit the R series Brolly system by any chance?
Fox makes very clever stuff
Can the fox r series brolly extension work with this ?
Can you fit a 8leg bed chair in?
Fox Ultra Brolly or Trakker Tempest Brolly V2 ?
Hi guys. Brilliant video. Just wondering which you would choose this ultra 60 brolly or Titan hide XL? 🙂
Titan hide Xl mate 👍🏼
Where is the fire escape door?
Can you use it for day fishing

The material is very lose around the bell cap. It’s not tensioned very well. ???!
It's not actually loose. The sag you can see it the covers over the rear vents.
Festival fishery??
