This review is from: Purple Beach Tent or Sun Shelter Tent by COMFORT BOSS - Collapsible Beach Umbrella Tent - Pops up Conveniently - with Extended Ground Sheet & Carry Bag - Transforms to Changing Room too
Well we finally go to one of these! We have been wanting something where the younger kids could play outside but still have shade from being in the direct sun and something like this is excatly what we needed but even better. I didn’t just want it for playing in the backyard but also for outside sporting events and camping.
The material is the same as a tent minus the thickness on the main shelter part. For this reason I am not sure it is waterproof. The bottom portion is a durable tarp like material like you would have on a tent as well. The listing calls the color purple but the color on the screen is more true to the color and really should be labeled as fushia.
What sets this apart from other products similar to this is that the extended floor mat zips up to create a door and thus give it full closure to use as a changing room which will be great for our large family camping and would also be great for those that use it a the beach. I also really like that it has pockets on the outside to fill with sand at the beach. Since we don’t entend on going to a beach anytime so the included stakes do the trick for us.
Last but not least are the velcro windows. They help with ventilation when it is closed up but still have the privacy factor.
Set up was easy with just taking it out of the bad and unrolling itm straightening the poles and pushing the center locking ring at the top down. Take down was just as easy just doing these steps in reverse. You do not have to thread the poles like a normal tent. Everything is attached although I did have to put one pole end back in its holder before setting it up.
Rolling it to fit in the bag was a little challenging and the tent only had one set of ties attached. When I opened the bag for the first time it seemed like a random piece of white fabric (see pictures) was meant to be the other tie but when I went to use it after rolling it up myself it didn’t seem long enough to the thickness of the roll. Keep in mind I hurriedly rolled this up and did not take my time to do it so that could be part of my problem but I also don’t think that I would have to try multiple times either to get it to fit. For this reason I am giving this a 4 out of 5 stars. If the bad was maybe an inch bigger around and another inch or two longer so it didn’t feel like it was going to bust the seams than I would have definitely given this 5 stars hands down.
Also this is a little more pricey than others but the cheaper ones don’t appear to have the true pop-up feature that this once does as well as not having a zip up “door" for suing as a changing room. Others that do have both these features are another $20 so in the end it appears that the price is right.
