Sun Shade Tent

If you are camping or hiking in high intensity sunlit areas, a sun shade tent provides a great means of keeping out the most intense ultraviolet rays on the brightest days. Unlike standard camping tents, the sun shade models are built to have an additional canopy roof extending from the entrance so that occupants inside or on the threshold need not fear the sun's rays. Made of high quality UV resistant material, these tents ensure that you will not need to use sunscreen when inside, even in direct light. For any trip, from fishing to tailgating, use a shade tent for the best protection.

Eureka's design of a Solar Shade sun cnopy is one of the simplest and least expensive models on the market. Retailing at only fifty dollars, the tent comfortably fits two people. Lightweight and compact, the cabana is easily broken down in a matter of minutes, so that customers can quickly move it from place to place if necessary; at only five pounds, it can be easily carried around all day on the shoulder strap. A fiberglass frame utilizing only three poles keeps the tent upright and standing, while ground supports keep wind from blowing the tent away. Three windows allow for air circulation on hot days and two storage pockets allow for clothes, food, or supplies to be kept inside.

For smaller kids, a SunGrubbies children's sun tent allows for a great place to get out of the sun during beach trips. The SunGrubbies design is meant for up to two children, boasting complete UV radiation protection for sunburn prone backs and legs. Mesh screens allow for circulation while keeping out insects. At only two pounds, it is one of the lightest tents bar none on the market, capable of being taken down or put up in less than a minute.

If price is of no concern, consider the Nemo Losi Storm two-person sun shade tent. This brand name manufacturer provides a comprehensive array of features to the standard shade model, boasting lightweight, wind resistant nylon attachments for support and overhead ventilation for complete air movement. The frame is designed to be minimally affected by rain or wind, tempered to a precise dome shape for ultimate strength. The Storm's sun shade can even be removed for use over another tent or a picnic table. At four hundred dollars, it is the ultimate in convenience and technology, with a price tag to match.
