Product Information
Full details
The Fox EOS II Brolly System is designed for budget-conscious anglers who prioritize functionality and reliable shelter without sacrificing essential features. It provides a robust, weather-resistant environment thanks to its 8000mm hydrostatic head fabric and stable oval steel frame, making it an excellent choice for short-to-medium session fishing. While it offers impressive versatility with its modular door and panel options, users should note that its 7.75kg weight is slightly heavier than some minimalist ultralight alternatives.

Is the groundsheet heavy-duty?

What is the hydrostatic head rating?

Are the storm poles included?

Can I remove the front panel entirely?

Troubleshooting
Brolly frame feels unstable in high winds
Ensure all included storm poles are fully extended and firmly secured into the ground.
Moisture buildup inside during cold nights
Keep the mozzie panels partially open to promote airflow and minimize condensation.
Groundsheet does not sit flat
Ensure the tension on the frame is balanced and all corner attachment points are connected to the main brolly structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the EOS II, begin by slotting the steel ribs into the central hub, then extend the arms to lock the frame in place. Secure the storm poles to the front ribs to ensure the structure is taut. The provided lightweight groundsheet clips into place, creating a dry floor. For care, always allow the brolly to dry completely before packing it into its storage bag to prevent mold or mildew growth. Wipe down the polyester fabric with a damp cloth if it becomes soiled—avoid using harsh detergents, as these can compromise the 8000mm waterproof coating. Ensure pegs are driven in at a 45-degree angle to the brolly for the most secure hold on soft ground.
