ABO Gear Sunmate Shelter - 84x48"

perfect for the beach. the next time i'll put a towel over the top, and secure with clothespins (for extra sun coverage) BUT the tent provided a decent amount of shade on a HOT and sunny day. it also held up well to the wind.

The SunMate was easy to set up, with shock-corded poles similar to tents. Two adults plus gear can easily fit under it, and maybe a small child too. It blocked a lot of the sun (on the beach) but allowed the breeze to blow through. We used two stakes and cords on the upwind side to secure it. It packs away easily.

Bought these as Christmas gifts for friends, so don't know how they function, yet. I thought it was different and looked usable and fun for the families I bought them for--we'll see.

Just returned from Myrtle Beach and am glad to report that this little tent more than met my expectations. Most of the time the tent was not staked in the sand - just had towels and toys in it. However ... on the windy days I used the stakes it stayed put! Excellent ventilation. Shade was moderate so I laid a towel on top when it was super sunny. (12 noon - 2pm) It was pretty easy to set up, and once you have it up, it is easy to fold up and use the next day. Although my family and I rent chairs and umbrellas at the beach, this little sun shelter was a great addition.

This is a great addition to my beach gear. Simple easy set up and light weight. Included are stakes and carry / storage pouches. Nice looking too. Best part of the deal is the price.
