Imax Storm Safe Beach Shelter - Grey, 220x150x150cm

Product Information

It's a very stable shelter which with a bit of practice is easy to erect, even in adverse conditions. The shelter is secured by piling sand or shingle onto the base flaps and once properly erected it is stable in even the worst conditions. Finally, I mentioned a video that I’d been told about. I’ve included it here, but take no credit for it! It’s on YouTube and I’d like to thank the angler who made it for putting it there, as his method looks extremely fast and one that would work in even the windiest of conditions. Cheers, mate!

This shelter is the big brother of the successful Ian Golds Igloo, and, as the name suggests, it really is big. Comfortably the biggest in this test, it’s also the heaviest by half a pound. The original Igloo was renowned for being generously proportioned, but the Bigloo has two-and-a-half square metres of floor space, although it is laid out in a different manner. However, this is a very tall shelter and most adults will be able to stand up in it. A beach shelter tends to be one of the first things to come under consideration when shore anglers are trying to lighten their load. It’s true that some of them can be unwieldy to transport when a long hike is required, but it’s a fact that many anglers would rather not go fishing than be without a beach shelter.Compared with the bivvies used by carp anglers, shore shelters are generally small and lightweight and have relatively compact ‘footprints’. However, there are some very substantial shelters on the market that do offer more space, but this inevitably comes at a cost in respect of extra weight and bigger size, even when folded down. Larger shelters are probably worth considering if you fish long sessions on particular beach marks regularly, whereas smaller, lighter shelters are ideal for shorter sessions.

I’ve owned my Ron Thompson Beach Shelter for well over a year now and, honestly, only used it for the first time recently. Why? Because I’m one of these pig-headed types of blokes who often sees using items that make my angling a bit more comfortable as ‘being a wimp’, despite telling others that they should use them and also despite using other items, such as handwarmers and a luxury sleeping bag (when carp fishing) and wondering how I ever did without them!

Overall the Imax FR is a great shelter lightweight, waterproof, easy to erect in a bad weather and affordable. The shape of the shelter offers great head room. Personally for me this has replaced the Igloo at the top of the shelter chart as No.1.

To make carrying to the beach that much easier, the tent comes in a nylon carry.It's a very stable shelter which with a bit of practice is easy to erect, even in adverse conditions.
