You just had the wrong gear on!..its September not Feb.
Can't see that Canopy lasting long enough to afford much shelter...better off buying some decent Togs Mate
....Or Maybe think of a Name Change??

It is just an emergency shelter (The Brolly) for if you get caught out in a storm. The sun shade actually did the trick so the Brolly should be way better,

Don't worry about being a bubble buster there are plenty of those on here
