I have used the aqua fast and light for a couple of years now and will continue to do so. It's slightly heavier than the esp but this is purely down to the thickness and quality of material, for me an extra kilo is worth it, still much lighter than a bivvy and it's the material that makes it less of a compromise. I also bought some side panels that I keep in the motor just in case the weather is particularly savage.

surely the stability is down to the number of poles used and how well it is pegged though?

Yes l agree it'll pack down a lot small and weigh a lot less probably the same sort of time to set up but can't for the life of me seeing it been as sturdy as the fast & light

nothing fast or light about a fast & light really. the Quick draw looks to pack down a lot smaller and weigh less.

I have had and used both. The Aqua was quickly sold once I had the ESP one. The ESP is superior in my opinion. It's a very well made and solid piece of kit. As much as the Aqua looked the part I dont think its on the same level in terms of its rigidity and build. The mozzi mesh works perfectly. I have the 52" but I am a short ar*e. It's a great example of being able to take something we all think can't really be improved on and just make it a little bit better and at a very good price point.

I've used the aqua fast & light for years the original one and now the M2 and don't think you can get a better brolly good quality used with 4 quick sticks so you've got that extra bit of cover at the front which does make a big difference and it's solid, down side is it doesn't pack down small and quite heavy but not a problem if your using a barrow and l would check if you can get a mozzy panel as l think these are hard to get hold of at minute might of changed not checked for a while, nowadays l only do the odd night mostly dawn til dusk so might look at the esp brolly with what sounds like been lighter and quicker to use but if l was doing any longer it would the aqua all day long.

I understand ESP are bringing out wraps for the brollies in the spring

I'm thinking between a ESP Quickdraw or Aqua brolly for a small, intricate venue I'll be fishing this spring. The place has long, overgrown and uneven paths with some really tight swims, and it's mozzie-infested, so a mozzy panel is a must.
I've recently bought an Aqua Pioneer, but to be honest the quality didn't feel like what Aqua used to be, which has made me a bit hesitant. Has anyone got any first-hand experience with either the ESP or Aqua brollys, or seen/used them recently?
I'll be ordering online, so any feedback would be much appreciated.
