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
Dr. G**********el I
It's good overall—roomy and sturdy—but the poles felt a bit flimsy. Hope they hold up over more trips. First impression is positive though.
Ala*******lman
Great ventilation—no condensation buildup even after a cold night. The dual doors make it so much easier when camping with a partner. Definitely worth the price.
Oli******ky
Had a leak near the seam during heavy rain. Sealed it myself afterward, but expected better waterproofing for the price. Tent is roomy, but quality control might be hit or miss.
Mali********zer
Used this on a rainy weekend in the Smokies. Not a single drop got in. The rainfly covers everything, and the floor stayed completely dry. One of the best tents I've owned.
Son*******mann
Had high hopes, but the zipper jammed on the second night. It held up okay in dry weather, but I’m worried about long-term durability. Customer service responded, but no replacement yet.
Alf*******dson
Love how spacious it feels inside for a 2-person tent. We’re both tall and still had room to stretch out. Fabric seems durable so far, and the zipper runs smoothly without snagging. Definitely recommend for couples or solo campers who want extra space.
Dr. *********kens
So glad we upgraded to this tent. Weighs less than our old one, sets up faster, and feels sturdier in gusts. Love that it doesn’t skimp on comfort despite being packable. Highly recommend for lightweight adventures.
Robb********III
Lightweight and easy to pack. I took it on a backpacking trip in Colorado and had no issues fitting it in my pack. Assembly was quick even in fading light.
Miss*********lter
Used this on a Pacific Northwest trail—mossy ground, morning dew, the works. Stayed completely dry inside. The rainfly seals well, and the vestibules are handy for boots and packs. Definitely my go-to two-person now.
Mr. *********nick
Tent is okay. Setup was straightforward, but found the guylines a bit too short. Had to adjust them with extra knots. Works fine, just not perfect.
