Designed to compliment the Stormstik.
A few reasons why it is worth paying a bit extra for a quality product that has been well thought out. - A dome top that eliminates damage caused to brolly material; the hole position as near to the top as possible to minimise strain on brolly material; the hole size is generous to accept brolly ribs comfortably; stainless pivot-pin that will not corrode, and; caps pivot through more than 180 degrees allowing storm sticks to be "folded in" on pack down.
