Canopy update

Earlier in the year we decided to update the old Bluebird canopy. Whilst there was nothing really wrong with it, the material did seem heavy, it didn't pack away particularly well, and would easily fill up with rain at the mere sign of drizzle.

Here's the replacement:

This Khyam version is similar in design but much more lightweight making it easier to fold and store away. The three legs, spiked at either end, come with four sections each (only shown with three in the pic) and the usual beaded 'Kador' strip is sewn down one long edge.

It slots straight into the Reimo multirail, no need for adaptors or 8-strip. Length-wise, it's almost exactly the same length as the multirail making it ideal for the T5.

Water tends to bead more than settle and eventually finds a direction to run off rather than pooling in the centre. Total packed weight comes in at less than 3kg in a bag no longer than a single pole section (around 650mm long). Grab one yourself from Khyam here.
