Pop Up Tent - The Sunshelter, A Review

This pop up tent from Bozeman is another popular item of the camping community. The company boasts about it saying it is compressible within three seconds (yep you heard me). Anyway the portability is among one of the main features of tents which makes the life of the user easy. Also if you climb a mountain to camp then the portability of your pop up tent is a must.




Another thing is that after the completion of the folding process it takes a rounded shape which is like a small umbrella.Thanks to the Nylon covering its capable of blocking UV rays and this is becoming almost a standard feature. Other physical dimensions such as the length is around 210 cm, width is 130-132 cm and the height is around 128 cm. It's really light for a tent and is set at just over 7 lbs. Among other accessories that comes with this pop up tent are the four stakes (for holding and giving some stabilization) and also a bag for store and carry around.

As you can see in the picture there are two windows at the both ends which can be opened or closed thus helping to get some fresh and cool air into the inside as a result the inside is kept cool and comfortable. Unfortunately unlike other tents out there this is not a water proof unit and if you need that feature then you'll have to purchase it separately when buying this pop up tent (optional water-proof cover with zippers).

 There is also a video available which gives some tips for setting it up and it's embedded at the end of the article. Anyway back to the story again. This is can easily be used as a cover from the sun rays and the room is enough for 2 grown adults and 2 children to have some dinner altogether. But when it comes to sleeping I think this will fit two adults comfortably. This is not the bets specious pop up tent out there but certainly acceptable after considering its low price (around $40).

Another popular feature with the tent is the sand-fill-able pockets (two). They can be used against the heavy wind (especially if you're on a top of a mountain or a beach) and makes the unit stick on to the ground. Anyhow one of the biggest disappointments with it is the non close-able front side which is a big concern if you want some privacy and also if you camp in a more forest-type surrounding this is not recommended as you won't be protected against mosquitoes and other insects. So please keep these things in mind if you're going to buy this. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed reading this article about the sun-shelter pop up tent.
