Rive Umbrella 2.1m
Nothing is worse that being sat out on the bank getting slowly soaked to the skin by an unexpected rain shower. When British drizzle sets in you can be guaranteed that it will be there to stay, which is why it pays to be prepared. After all, if the only thing predictable about the weather is how unpredictable it is, then the only way you can outfox it is by taking the gear along which accounts for all eventualities. A top quality rain jacket will go someway to keeping you dry in the wet, perhaps, but we’ve all experienced the discomfort of rain beading from our jacket and running down our back, only to pool on our seat and soak right through our pants before we know it! This is why you really can’t beat a top quality umbrella, which is exactly why Rive has designed this!
The Rive Umbrella boasts an impressive 2.1m diameter. Not only does this mean that it will keep your front and your back dry but it also means that it will keep any gear you have to the side of your seat box dry too. Your seat box accessories house some of your most vital items – whether that is tackle or bait – so it pays to keep them as dry as possible (until you need them in the water, of course). This is where the extra wide diameter of this umbrella really comes into play and it is the perfect option for the angler who likes to sit with islands of gear surrounding them.
However, this Rive Umbrella is much more than simply a wet weather tool. In fact, it is also the perfect option to use on a hot summer’s day. Now, you might think we’re mad to suggest that you use an umbrella in the middle of summer. However, we know that sitting under the baking sun for hours on end does us no good at all, both in terms of our comfort and our health, and although it might be pleasant at first we know that before long we’ll be clamouring for the shade. This is where your Rive Umbrella comes into play. Simply erect this umbrella to cast an impressive shadow over yourself, ensuring that you can enjoy the day without suffering from heat stroke. The sun doesn’t only have the potential to damage you, however, it can also damage your tackle. UV light is uniquely destructive and we have all experienced the perils of perished line, plastics, and other such tackle items which have been left out in the sun for too long. Something as simple as this umbrella will ensure that you don’t have to worry about your gear, or bait, letting you down due to sun damage.
The arm of this Rive Umbrella is telescopic. This means that you can adjust the height, moving it low to your head on especially windy or rainy days, or lifting it up towards the sun to cast a greater shadow in the heat. It also means that if you’re a particularly tall angler, you can jack the central hub of the umbrella high above your head, giving you unparalleled clearance and allowing you to sit tall on your seat box – a feat that would be impossible with a fixed umbrella. The arm of the Rive Umbrella is also manufactured from high quality stainless steel. Rive is a brand which is world famous for manufacturing high quality and ultra-durable tackle items and this product is no different. You won’t find this umbrella arm warping or bending, as you might with other, lesser quality umbrella options.
The Rive Umbrella has been designed to fit directly onto your seat box station. You can either use a brolly arm, relay, or Rive’s unique OPEN system – an innovative clip design which allows you to make on-bank adjustments to your gear with incredible ease. This ensures that you don’t have to worry about positioning your umbrella and seat box on the bank, you can simply attach them together and you’re good to go – safe in the knowledge that you’ll be able to quickly and accurately erect your umbrella at a moment’s notice, giving you superior coverage form the elements.
