Product Information
Full details
The Fortis Recce Brolly is an essential tool for the mobile angler who prioritizes speed and agility without sacrificing protection against unpredictable weather. Its key benefit lies in its lightweight, windproof construction that allows for rapid deployment when conditions shift, though users should note it is a single-layer canopy design and may not offer the extreme thermal insulation found in specialized multi-layered bivvies.

FAQs
Is the Fortis Recce Brolly waterproof?
Yes, it features a durable single-layer canopy designed to shed water and keep you dry during rain showers.
Can this brolly withstand heavy storms?
While it is windproof, it is designed for mobile angling and may not withstand extreme, sustained storm-force winds.
Does it come with a ground sheet?
No, this is a minimalist brolly design intended for maximum mobility and does not include a ground sheet.
How do I store the brolly to keep it in good condition?
Always store it in a dry, ventilated area and ensure the canopy is completely dry before folding.
Is the shaft height adjustable?
The shaft is designed for stability; ensure it is properly anchored to your preferred depth for the best setup.
Troubleshooting
Umbrella canopy inverts during high winds
Ensure the tensioning arms are fully locked and the shaft is secured deeply into the ground or a bankstick stabilizer.
Handle grip feels slippery when wet
Wipe the non-slip handle with a dry towel to restore the friction properties of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Fortis Recce Brolly, ensure you are on level ground to maintain frame stability. Expand the canopy fully until the locking mechanism clicks into place. For care, always allow the canopy to air dry completely before packing it away in its storage bag; storing it while damp can lead to material degradation or mildew. Wipe the fiberglass shaft with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove grit or debris. The unit is compatible with most standard angler chairs and bank-side gear.
