Aqua Products Fast & Light Overwraps

The Fast & Light brolly has been hugely popular with its initial target angler, the guy who travels extra light and doesn’t want the hassle of having to carry a full-blown system around. Groundsheet, infill panel and any additional extras mean burdensome loads to these guys.


However, the brolly is so good that lots of other anglers took a shine to it – those fishing slightly longer session and wanting a little but more from their shelter.

So, by popular demand, Aqua introduced these wraps to create more significant coverage for those who want it. They’re available in green and DPM camou, to either match or contrast the Fast & Light livery. We reckon a bit of DPM is great, as long as you don’t overdo it and have everything in the pattern. The brolly looks the bee’s knees in this finish, though, as does the wrap. I’d probably mix and match them just to be a bit different.

Performance-grade Aquatexx is used to construct the wraps and they feature two full-height front zips to create the door, which you can either use down or roll up, as you’d expect. Attachment couldn’t be easier. Simply throw the wrap over, use the loops to attach the pegs you already have down for the brolly and then tension it all out before pegging the front. This literally takes a minute or so, even without too much practice, so you can throw it on in the event that the weather turns inclement.

Each wrap comes with a matching green or DPM carry bag, about the size of a pillow, and the wraps either stuff or fold into them pretty easily. The only negative for me is that you do not get the longer storm poles included; these have to be bought separately, which bumps the price up a little. However, if you have a Fast & Light, or are considering one, then the wrap is well worth adding. (MC)
