Review on Kelty Sunshade Update Quick Canopy by Kevin Schnitzer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Tent and shelter downgraded

I have used the Kelty sun visor for years not only for shade but also for protection from the rain. The older models, now out of production, were much stronger and could withstand storms and rain if properly secured. This new model is much lighter. About the third time I put it on, one of the posts broke. The posts are actually a little long as it's very difficult to snap the last bar into place and there isn't much flexibility to spread the legs after installation. It arrived with a few small holes. I don't recommend it, but your options for these cases are pretty limited. I have no doubt that consumers would happily pay more for a higher quality product. (Hey Kelty. Are you listening?)
