[JP.THURSFIELD]

I am in need of a new umbrella. The only problem is that I am on a budget as being a poor student. I've got around ~ 40 pounds ~ can anyone help me in my search ??????

I've been using a Relum Brotel for a couple of years and love it. The design is pure brilliance, no drafts, no spreaders and quicker to erect than a conventional brollie.

I very much agree with Ant about the Relum Brotel. See my field test in the reviews section here on Angler's Net at http://anglersnet.co.uk/reviews/brotel01.htm

 

I belive Brotels were recently discontinued but you may find one still, possibly at a very good price as a result.

 

Perhaps the best bet is to try Peter Henton at the Bivvy Hospital in Sussex. They specialise in this sort of product and are very helpful people to deal with. If they haven't any Brotels they can probably help with something else.

 

Anyone have their contact details?

I can remember seeing them advertised at Brundle Angling at only £29.99, but that was before christmas. Worth a try though.

The deluxe brotel version ( with added side panels ), is in the 2002 Bennetts course cat. Could also try them, £43 if I remmember right.
