The Elegear CumbreX Beach Tent is a pop-up sun shelter with a spring-loaded pole system that sets up in about a second and folds back into a flat carry disc. The canopy uses a double silver coating rated UPF 50 plus, which blocks around 98 percent of UV rays and keeps the inside noticeably cooler than an open umbrella. It opens to roughly 4 to 5 person size with a 360-degree removable top panel you can take off for airflow or leave on for full shade. Sand pockets and stakes anchor it against wind. Best for beach days, poolside lounging, park afternoons, and parents who want shade that goes up fast and packs down small.

Frequently asked questions
How many people fit inside?
It comfortably shades 4 to 5 people sitting, or a smaller family with beach gear and a cooler.
Does it stay put in wind?
It comes with sand pockets and stakes; filled and staked properly it holds in a typical beach breeze, though very strong gusts still need extra anchoring.
Is the setup really one second?
The spring poles snap open almost instantly once you spread the panels, but folding it back down takes a little practice.
Can I take the top off?
Yes, the 360-degree canopy panel is removable for more airflow on hot but lower-sun days.
