Clever coverage
One product – half-a-dozen usages. The Advanta Discovery CX Summit Basha is a proper go-to weather-protecting must-have
Over the years the good old traditional military style shelter has been championed by all the greats: Nigel Sharp, Dave Lane and, of course, Terry Hearn, whilst angling on places such as The Mere and Burghfield. Now Advanta, part of the behemoth Angling Direct chain, has created their own version in both Olive and DPM, adding a couple of lovely tweaks and a few new features.
As well as a barrow cover, it can also be used as a waterproof bedchair cover…
Measuring 262(L) x 168(W) x 84(H)cm when pitched, this fully waterproof, single coated reinforced polyester fabric cover will cover a large number of applications. In need of a quick ‘stash shelter’? The Summit Basha thanks to the brass eyelets in each corner. After a giant barrow cover? The Summit Basha thanks to the interlocking snap fasteners. Even as an emergency crash/sleeping bag on the ground to stay dry? The Summit Basha thanks to its dual clips on either side so it forms an envelope.
. …And as a groundsheet
Add in 18 reinforced webbing fabric loops positioned in the middle and sides, five central reinforced webbing pitch loops and two great price points, and there’s no denying this is bona-fide rain and wind protector.
