Review on Kelty Sunshade Update Quick Canopy by Tommy Russo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I had to change it but I still like it.

Good: Spacious. Big footprint. You can put half a picnic table, leaving room for 2-3 chairs. It withstood 30 mile winds very well with the guy wires in place. I like the little pockets to hold the quickdraws. Easy installation by two people. Yes, you have to pull hard to attach the last leg. The tote bag is very good. The Bad: The entry points are so low that you have to bend down to get under them, even for someone as short as me. You can move the legs a little closer to improve this position, or spread them apart to improve wind stability. Without wind, the sun warms the space under the shade. That's physics. It's beautiful in the wind. Part of the fiberglass pole broke after two 3 day hikes. I prefer a replacement to a refund.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Nothing
