Glymnis Pop Up Beach Tent Sun Shelter Beach Shade Tent with Portable Sun Shade UPF 50 for Outdoor Activities Beach Traveling Blue

Great beach tent. I got this from US to Dubai it was light and small to carry around especially if you travel, it can fit well in the luggage. Temperature there was 100F/40C but surprisingly didn't feel hot inside the tent probably because of the material. It can fit 4 people, just that trip it made the money. The only downside is that if it is windy it will tend to incline or bend and you need to place it on a flat place to be level so it will bend less and be more firm. Its kind of hard at the beginning to fold but once you do it few times you will be fine. I highly recommend this to anyone who travel.

I haven't been able to use this yet because the beach I went to didn't allow tents, but I practiced folding it and unfolding it in my living room. I had to watch a video online because it's not obvious how to do it, but I think once you've done it a few times it will be as intuitive as those car sun screens. It unfolds incredibly easily. I like that it has a tarp underneath it as well, to keep out sand or grass. I intend to take it to a music festival this weekend and am looking forward to not having to squint. It folds up very small and is much easier to carry and store than an umbrella.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this tent to replace a similar tent that I could no longer find at grocery outlet. This one was a bit more expensive and the quality was not as good. (Feels kinda cheap, especially the floor part). I expected It to pop up right out of the bag and was kind of disappointed on how doesn’t stand on its own. However, when you put the stakes in and fill the sandbags it holds up pretty sturdy. I’ve only used it once thus far but it did a good job and everyone at the beach really wanted one too. I would keep dog paws away from it though as they could probably poke a hole in it.

This tent is barely a sun shelter. Unless you go at high noon to seek shelter in this “tent” you would have more success avoiding the sun with a twig. I have Lupus and need a more serious sun shelter. 60% of my body was in the sun all day with this stupid thing. I had a lupus migraine and rash by the end of the 4 hr day. Disaster. I could feel the sun beating on me through the tent fabric. When at the beach, most of us like to face the water, I think.... well if you do that, on Long Island, with this shelter, you will not get much protection from the sun. It’s a one person tent at best unless you want your legs out of the thing. Really useless. Flimsy as well. I had my service dog and he scraped at the tent once to get comfy, not with bear claws, his nails are trimmed, but ripped the tent fabric and the mesh screen. I am extremely disappointed in this item and will be returning it. Going back to using my Coleman sun tent.

We found two problems with this product. 1. It was a bit two small for two people and beach chairs and 2. It was very difficult to close. Although I could close it the time involved was too long.

So this really helped on our trip. It did the trick, but holy moly was folding it up a process. Someone more technically apt may not have an issue. My husband who is better with this sort of thing got it quickly after reading the instructions. We did get it eventually, but it’s not as easy as it seems. I did the folding from the side not the front as the directIons say. Honestly, I probably wouldn't get this again.If it’s windy, don’t even bother trying to set it up. That was a no go. Dry sand works better.

I love this tent. Its is light, compact, easy to carry, and sets up in seconds. It pops open instantly. I used it in grass at a soccer tournament on a 85 degree sunny, windy day. I decided to try it in the wind and was glad I did. The top bends down a bit but still provided shade. I was nervous about folding it up and in the wind was tricky. There is a specific way which instructions explain and I felt takes practice. I did figure it out.

I haven't actually used it yet at the beach, but I did a trial run at home. It seems very sturdy. There will definitely be room for two of us inside on beach chairs and the cooler. Unfolding it was easy, folding it back into it's bag takes a couple of practice tries but was not too bad. I THINK the chairs, cooler, side bags filled with sand and stakes will keep it anchored on always-windy beach visits...I will supplement this review when we've done that.
