Product Information

The Daiwa Mission provides extended storm sides to help protect against heavy winds and horizontal rain. You also benefit from groundsheet protection which is handy if you want a dry surface available to you before you stow your gear. One of the features that set the shelter apart from those similar to it, is the storm peak. This adds additional protection from rain if you are sittting in your fishing chair with all your gear around you under the shelter.

They also add that extra little bit of space that could be handy for something like a bivvy table or a bivvy heater if the conditions are cold. As fishing day shelters go, this is a pretty solid choice. As with some of our other offerings, this day shelter comes ready equipped with both guy lines and pegs, to keep it exactly where it belongs, on the bank and not in your swim. The pole on this fishing shelter system is not removeable, but it is adjustable, so you can get the tilt on the shelter just right to avoid rain or shield your eyes from the sun. A key area that can fail on umbrellas are the seams, fortunately Michigan have given them tape reinforcement to prevent water ingress and annoying drips. The ground spike and high side walls will ensure it is secure and dry even in strong winds. The Daiwa Mission is a traditional oval brolly type day shelter with plenty of features that really set it apart from other models in the crowd. The benefit of this shape of shelter is there is plenty of room to fit your bedchair, lengthways under the whole umbrella. A detachable groundsheet is always a good feature in a fishing day shelter and the one provided here is of good quality. We are avid fans of the original Fox easy shelter that served us on many carp fishing sessions across the years.A term often bandied about when it comes to shelters, the hydrostatic head rating of a bivvy relates to waterproofing. The frame of the shelter comes already set up, so you don't have to spend time assembling poles and threading them through the tent's fabric. The doors on this shelter have 2-way zips that enable you to create a letterbox type opening that protects and allows for good ventilation at the same time.

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. Anglers who want a little bit more than an umbrella-style day shelter with an easy to setup bivvy option. The compact nature of the fishing shelter makes it slim enough to easily fit in your rod holdall with plenty of room spare for landing net handles and such.

Anglers looking for a lightweight, umbrella-type shelter that could be used overnight on warmer evenings. When extended fully, this bar offers increased rigidity throughout the shelter's interior space by providing extra tension all around its perimeter. Bear in mind that other factors, including taped seams and the fabric’s coating, also come into play with waterproofing. If you want to become a more mobile angler, one of the biggest weight savings you can make is in ditching your luxury bivvy for a slimmed-down shelter. There are 4 ribs that make up the frame of this brolly system which makes it sturdy and rigid and there is an option that allows you to change the doors from clear PVC, a solid Khaki door, or just the mozzy mesh.
