This shade worked great. I was able to pack it into half of a hardshell carry-on bag. We took it to Turks and Caicos and it was so easy to set up on the beach. We initially got some stares because it was a very windy day, but we figured it out. The online instructions were very helpful (QR code on the storage bag). Our daughter loved using the scoop to fill the bags with sand to help us set up. You can see from video that it did great in the wind. There were moments when the wind was much worse than the video and the shade held up. Very important to fill bags with more sand and move further out when wind picks up. Highly recommend. We stayed at the beach all day once we had the shade up. Nice purchase.

Was leery of buying the quick set up style…folds right back perfect to fit in bag. We like it!

nice tent

Es muy bonita y cumple su cometido, pero finalmente no es el mismo de la foto... las bolsas internas para guardar las cosas (debajo de las ventanas) no las trae, así que no hay un lugar seguro donde dejar las pertenencias, y el suelo no es de lona como en la foto es de la misma tela que el resto, la cual está diseñada para repeler viento y agua, mas no para el desgaste que da el suelo, la arena, estarla pisando o poniendo sillas, etc... sin duda se va a romper.

Bonita está, pero pareciera "pirata" en comparación a la de la foto. 😕

I bought this to use on a two month kayak trip to British Columbia where I will need to set up in some places that you can only use a hammock and some places that require a self standing tent. The Crua works well as a hammock but still has alot of sag despite the crossbars. On the ground, its essentially a bivvy sack - I was unable to sit up inside it. It is waterproof, but you get the usual condensation problems that occur with a small one person shelter. Its a pretty good hammock shelter, but its not really functional as a ground tent.
