Product Information
The Fox Easy Brolly 60 is a 60-inch shelter for the short-session angler who keeps gear to a minimum, while still allowing a bed to fit comfortably for an overnight session.
Its space-saving rib mechanism creates maximum internal space, and the mini extended side skirts add extra protection.
An oval frame puts four ribs on the ground for greater stability. Quick Clips keep the storm poles permanently fixed to the frame; each pole slides down a brolly rib and clips into the receiving moulding at its spoke end.
Pressing the clip button releases the pole so it slides back up the frame.
The 100% polyester fabric has an 8,000 mm hydrostatic-head rating. A short threaded centre pole speeds erection, and you can leave it out to reduce weight further. A lightweight groundsheet and heavy-duty pegs come with the brolly, which weighs 5.9 kg including them.
Fox Easy Brolly 60 Review
The Fox Easy Brolly has earned a strong following among short-session anglers, and the new 60 inch version keeps everything that made it popular while adding the room to fit a bed for an overnighter. It's a cleverly designed, fuss-free shelter that sets up fast, offers dependable protection, and manages to feel spacious without being bulky. Everything about the design prioritises practicality on the bank.
With its space-saving ribs and Quick Clip storm pole system, this brolly is built for anglers who like to keep things efficient and travel light. It also ranks highly in our round-up of the best fishing umbrellas, where we rate it one of the best compact brolly shelters for session anglers who don't want the hassle of a full bivvy.
How well is it built?
Fox has gone for 100% polyester with an 8000mm hydrostatic head, and it delivers solid waterproofing even in prolonged rain.
The outer fabric feels durable without being stiff or heavy, and the included groundsheet adds extra protection during wet sessions. The taped seams are solid, and we've not seen any major issues with water ingress in user feedback.
The standout design feature is the Quick Clip system. These clips allow storm poles to remain attached to the ribs, which then slide into position with a simple push and click.
It's an intuitive system that takes the hassle out of setup, especially when you're in a rush or the weather is closing in. The mechanism also collapses smoothly by pressing a button, making pack-down just as easy.
Wind Resistance & Stability
The Easy Brolly 60 is storm-ready straight out of the bag. Four of the ribs touch the ground and carry mini skirts, which closes the gap that wind and rain usually push through on a standard brolly.
With the storm poles clipped in and the pegs supplied in the kit, it sits low and tight on the peg and holds its shape in a blow far better than a traditional match umbrella.
There is no tilt mechanism, but you can angle the whole shelter into the wind using the pegging points, which is how most anglers fish it anyway.
Coverage & Adjustability
The step up to 60 inches is the whole point of the new model. The wider span means a bed now fits comfortably inside for overnight sessions, which the original could not manage without a squeeze.
Despite that extra room, the space-saving rib design keeps it compact when packed, so it still sits happily on a barrow or over the shoulder.
Everything you need to make it a shelter rather than an umbrella is included: pegs, groundsheet and the storm pole system.
Is it good value for money?
The Fox Easy Brolly 60 offers real value for what is essentially a compact session shelter that can now take a bed.
It sits somewhere between a traditional match umbrella and a full day shelter, making it ideal for anglers who want more protection than a brolly but less bulk than a bivvy.
Everything you need is included in the kit: pegs, groundsheet, and storm pole system, so there's no need for extra add-ons.
This makes it a cost-effective choice for serious short-session anglers or anyone looking to downsize from a larger setup.
