UVE 95%+
This woven shade fabric provides 95%+ UV protection according to AS 4174.When shade fabric is used for purposes such as shade structures for human protection, the ultraviolet effectiveness (UVE) may not be an accurate guide to the protection provided and may be less than the measured value due to factors including variations in design, height and size of shade structures, stretching of the fabric, the distance of the fabric from the persons, the direction of sunlight, and the physical location of the persons within the shade structures (e.g. at the edge or at the centre.)

Customer Reviews
Dedri**********n MD
Works well for most conditions, but found it a bit tight for two people with full packs inside. Setup is intuitive, though the stakes could be stronger for rocky soil.
Desh*********rhar
Solid tent overall. Took it on a 3-day backpacking trip and it performed well. Lightweight and packs down small, which is a big plus. Only deducted one star because the rainfly could be a bit more durable.
Eme*******enes
Used this on a 4-day hike through Yosemite. Withstood wind, morning dew, and uneven terrain like a champ. The poles feel sturdy, and the fabric hasn’t shown any wear. Definitely my go-to two-person shelter now.
Miss C************as DVM
Great tent overall—light, roomy, and weather-resistant. Only downside was a slight draft near the floor on colder nights, but nothing a good ground tarp didn’t fix.
Has******tke
Took this on a 4-day hike through Yosemite, and it performed flawlessly. Sturdy poles, quality fabric, and the dual vestibules are a game-changer for storing gear. Weighs less than expected, and the rainfly kept everything dry even during an unexpected downpour. One of the best investments I’ve made for backpacking. Super easy to pack and fits well in my 65L pack. No issues with zippers or poles so far—very durable feeling. Would buy again in a heartbeat.
Barth**********ecki
Set up took less than 10 minutes. Spacious enough for two with gear. Loved the mesh panels that keep bugs out but allow airflow. No stuffy air even in cooler mountain nights.
Dar******ehm
Pretty happy with this tent. It’s spacious for two, though the footprint isn’t included, which was a bit of a surprise. Setup was intuitive, and the weather held fine during a drizzly weekend in Oregon. Good value overall.
Rubi********iser
Solid tent overall! Took it out for a 3-night trip and it held up great—even when the wind decided to play sumo wrestler. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars? The rainfly takes a minute to align just right. Once it’s on, though, you’re golden. Great ventilation too. Would buy again.
Ka*****ehr
Solid construction and great attention to detail—the zippers are smooth, and the rainfly fits perfectly. We camped in damp conditions and stayed completely dry. Packs into a compact bag, making it ideal for car or trail use.
Dani*********wski
Solid build and easy setup. Used it backpacking in the Rockies and stayed dry through light rain. Packed size is convenient.
