🏕️ Ultralight Collapsible Tent - Six Moon Designs Review

I walked this thing 700 miles from Campo, California to Kennedy Meadows south and it worked like magic. However, don't expect to use this thing in the wind or that it won't come loose on a spoke or two if you overuse it. Mine has survived bush clearing, hurricanes and an abundance of cacti. Highly recommend for the desert.

It's lightweight and folds compactly, yet occupies a large enough footprint to cover my head and backpack.

The second time, one of the pliers broke in half rendering the entire umbrella unusable because I had to pack it up otherwise the torn edge of the…

2021: BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITING. I bought a second one and the device they sent me is too different from the original - it's fake! There is no six moon logo on the umbrella, the labels say it's made in China and the material is transparent/very thin - not the quality of the original umbrella I have! 2020: My favorite gear, whether it's a day trip or a multi-day hike in the mountains or the desert! I got a nosebleed from overheating on the open trail with a hat on the first mile of our 6 day…
