just got myself one thanks joe for the review. Been looking to get somthing like this for a while cannot complain with the features u get for that price

[@simonhuss9619]

Cyprinus stuff is spot on, I've had the rapied mk 2 brolly for good few years now, made out of same material, it's bomb proof, really heavy duty material and waterproof as ****, will definitely be looking at one of these, the features ar well thought out, and you get whole package, amazing!!!!

[@ianscaife9639]

Just got the DPM version for £240 on one of the Cyprinus auctions. Happy days!!!

[@MrK1ngsn0rth]

The timing of this review couldn't have been better!! Decision made, order placed, delivery tomorrow!

[@MrK1ngsn0rth]

Be careful when ordering this one folks! Mine got cancelled today as Cyprinus only had limited UK stocks and everything else out of the warehouse is the Euro version which does not have the zip in ground sheet. Really pissed off with them. Must have overall supply issues, look how at how many products are either out of stock or in stock soon.

[@kennetking1]

Cracking bit of kit. Quick tip...zip the groundsheet in immediately after popping the brolly up. It’ll save you much swearing and sore fingers 👍🏻😬

[@steveunderhill2341]

Hi joe. Managed to get hold of the peg in ground sheet version but having abit of trouble. Firstly don't see how the brolly flaps go underneath groundsheet and struggling with position of front poles any advice will be great

[@shed43a]

Nice vid. Anyone know how high the zip on the groundsheet is off the ground. ?

[@markstorer7204]

sweet system, and if its upto the usual cyprianus value I'll be having one of these

[@TheAmericanDane]

When are they available? Can’t see these on their website?

[@DlZZEE]

I find it awkward to put up. Maybe I'm used to a simple chub bivvy. Any tips to set it up would be appreciated

[@carp.fishing]

This looks very good. Might be time to say goodbye to the Tempest.

[@addictedtoangling]

Looks excellent

[@shauncowlard2829]

As Ryan said its not a new brolly system its the Sonik XTI Superdome re-branded . I should know I've got 1 and yes it is a fantastic brolly system & I would thoroughly recommend it. I now know where to go for spares should I need some

[@tutts999]

Eyed one of these 6 months ago but got a Hide off Gumtree for a steal. But I do have a Base bivvy from them and it is a very good bivvy. This does look a nice bit of kit if you are looking for a brollie system

[@tschofield6429]

Can you get a zip in mozzie panel for these?

[@richcurtis813]

I've been looking at getting a new brolly, looks like I've found it👍DPM perhaps please??

[@smiddy515]

Anyone know of any overwrap that'll fit the k2 with the utility front?

[@carpergolfergaz29]

Would a wide boy nash chair fit inside

[@ChaceRaymond]

Does this zip all the way around or are there gaps that aren't zipped,

[@davebell5978]

Like it might invest in one ov these bad boyz

[@richpeas1924]

Any reason as to why these don't have a sewn in ground sheet? & why is the EU version cheaper then the UK. surely it can't be just because the UK one has a zip in ground sheet, whilst the EU is velcro 🤔

[@ptheledge5390]

Would getting a over wrap for this be a waste of money as it’s 20,000 HH

[@leerose6257]

Shame it dont have a complete mesh front. Whats the difference from the uk to the eu version?

[@liammercer6640]

The Uk has a zip in groundsheet & the eu has a peg in one :)

[@iainfletcher1947]

Nice bit of kit but quite awkward to set up especially in the wind!! Broke a back rib taking it down in windy conditions which fair play to cyprinus sent me a brand new one free of charge. Storm poles are useless on hard ground. Reverted back to me old poles with a T bar to get a rock solid set up. I have a standard sized bed chair and don't take loads of kit. Room inside is massive!! I also own an Aqua Atom Plus and the cyprinus dwarfs it inside. Haven't used the groundsheet or vape shield so can't comment. Nice quality material plenty of door features. All in all fairly happy. Probably need to be more patient when setting it up...😳

[@sarahmiller8078]

what's the length of this shelter once packed down ?

[@DlZZEE]

190cm ,just got one it's a large bag but yet to set it up

[@mentalmayhem4038]

Gone up in price already! 230 now

[@sirstretchyboy69]

Ive got one there ok for the money i cant fault it

[@carpertomscratchcards]

@CARPologyTV will this brolly fit the emperor bed chair in

[@HG-lu1ym]

I got same question

[@truckinghell1655]

Why not just tell us the price save me.going on website if not in budgwt

[@frankrizzo9745]

looks good but they are completely out of stock and they cannot give a date of when they are getting some more in...

[@martinharwood3587]

Will my ss4 wide fit in it ??

[@jakeripley1282]

I have sonik supadome which is the exact same just a different name rebraded and my ss5 wide fits

[@martinharwood3587]

[@connorkirby7376]

Alot cheaper tho 👌

[@christiancaudell5320]

Just bought one of these but disappointed that there's no centre pole to assist in erection.

Do you recomend it?

Very similar to the fox ultra 60

[@vipernight2]

update on my k2 first they sent me the wrong one they sent me the eu version that dont have the zip in groundsheet so i sent that back had to wait another 2weeks before they sent out the uk version due to being out of stock that i got yesterday.So i set this up and that is also going back worst system i have had the zip in groundsheet is a pain to put in and if u peg the system down to tight it starts to unzip on you so you have to losen it abit leaving the system abit flappy per say.Then this bit i find really funny is the storm poles the 2 smaller ones do nothing what so ever they put two rings in the groundsheet for them to go into the ground but they dont even fit through the hole to put into the ground so they just flap around and give no support at all and are just useless poles that are there for show.These are meant to be storm poles for high winds and rough weather the magnets that are inside them are useless my fridge magnets would have been better then them.The only things i liked about it was the vapour shield and the darkness once all zipped up and the speed of getting somthing to cover you if setting up in the rain other then that save your money and get somthing better i got the jrc stealth bloxx compact and this goes up and packs away alot faster then this and its alot more stable then k2 i would not like to be in a storm in that

[@johnharmer4606]

The poles you are talking about that fit inside do in fact just sit in the rings of the ground sheet. There should be an allen key supplied that you use to set the height of these poles which keeps it ridged.

[@vipernight2]

@@johnharmer4606 did not come with a allen key as they have the quick realease system on them and if i would have pushed the poles up any further they would have torn right through the side

[@johnharmer4606]

@@vipernight2 I know they have a quick release system as i own the Sonik Xti Supadome which is exactly the same design. My allen key was missing on two brollys, but i was aware of it because of a Facebook post as there are no instructions. This allen key locks the jointing knuckle & then you use the quick release to adjust the height. The allen key is no longer needed after this. You say they "flap around & give no support at all"....That will be because they're not set up properly due to the absence & the not knowing about the allen key & its fundamental requirement.

[@vipernight2]

@@johnharmer4606 i had 2 of them and not one came with a allen key and i dont think joe even said anything about one being needed how are people meant to know when it dont say it anywhere and when i sent the first one back the company did not even say anything about any allen key or anything like that

[@johnharmer4606]

@@vipernight2 Well as i said, i had two that didn't come with an allen key, but it is needed. It was by sheer luck that somebody posted this to a Facebook fishing page, & i stumbled across it before i purchased the brolly. I totally agree that how would you even know what it was for even if it did come with it as there are no instructions. I bet a few went back due to this & there total stupidity on not giving out that info.

[@dantadd7861]

This is a sonik XTI supadome!

[@shauno0806]

Exactly the same as the jrc extreme 1 man brolly system
