Beach Shelters

After using a beach shelter regularly for the first time over the last couple of weeks I am thouroghly impressed. I used to be a brolly or nothing man (gruff northerner ). I just wondered if anyone could tell me why the "Beach Buddie" is 3 times the price of the Ron Thompson? The former must be made from better material or not be a silly shape when its in its bag!

I have to say that my Ron Thompson  was  very good in winds of 30mph and really driving rain, there was one slight drip from a tiny piece of plastic weld that has not made too well (easily fixable). So back to the original question why is the Beach Buddie  3 times the price of the Ron Thompson?

So what difference has the blue one made? (only joking mate).

Mine's red though the gits I fish with say its pink. When Raymond first saw it in its bag he reckoned it would have Barbies on it when I put it up.

hey al its not pink and got a playboy logo on it,has it?lol

Getting back to the shelter the subridge 1 is pants reasons why

WHEN YOU PUT THE TOP OVER THE FRAME IT DONT CLOSE UP CORRECT,LEAVING GAP'S SO THE WIND/RAIN CAN GET INN.

When its put up there aint enough room in it.

The only good thing about it,it has a strap that connects to the arm,so you dont lose the arm unlike the rt 1

the rt is better by far

ok its a more of a pain to put up than the sunridge 1 as the top of the rt is to tight IMHO.

But the rt folds out bigger than the sunridge 1,and yes i think diawa do play apart in the making of it.

Skillpot what you mean it almost took me with it?get it rite mate it almost took me bloody head off
