What is it about fishing brollies that they are ridiculously expensive yet at the first gust of wind they either wrap themselves around you or tear themselves to pieces? This isn't confined to brollies with fibre glass ribs either so what has changed, does it only happen in 50 inch and not 45 inch brollies? Is nylon a more durable fabric than PVC or is it to do with shoddy materials.
I have a 50 inch Light seal, metal ribs, made by Keenets and last year at Clattercote even though the wind wasn't over strong it wrapped itself around me so I put it away and sat in the rain, for the hefty price it really is not good enough.
So, what has gone wrong with modern brollies?
