Review on Stay Cool And Protected On The Beach With The ICorer Automatic Pop Up Sun Shelter Tent by Glenn Rodgers

I'm heading to an event that will require an overnight under the stars. If you haven't done this before, you need to expect some dew on your sleeping bag, clothing, or whatever else you leave out that evening. For me, I also needed a way to prepare my camera gear out of minor rain or dew fall. This pop-up does the trick. As others have stated, opening is a breeze. Unzip the case, pull out the tent, and stand back! It even comes with small stakes if it rains. I did not have an issue putting the tent away. For me, it was about 15 seconds to get the unit into a small circle, and about 40 seconds to jam it into the case. If I had someone slide the case over as I held the compressed tent , I would cut that 45 seconds to about 15-30. Anyway, here's what I found:Pros:1. lightweight, easy to carry2. setup and teardown was quick (at least in my case.)3. small stakes included4. the rear of this pop up has a screen. It looks like there is not one in the photo but there is.5. the attached base would work well to stop some sand, or lay onto some grass.Cons: *(these are not the fault of the pop up - but worthy to mention)1. This pop up will NOT protect you completely in a rainstorm. It will keep your head and part of your body dry, and maybe some gear you are holding.2. This pop up is NOT a tent. an adult cannot stretch out length wise in this pop up.In a nutshell, this pop up exceeds my expectations. I certainly recommend it for sun cover and dew and/or mild rain cover to a limited degree.That's about it. I hope this helps in your purchasing decisions.
