With the push buttons you need to worry about pinching fingers or not being able to release the button when it gets rusted, which is never a pleasant experience. The legs extend to give the top peak a height of about 8’10” which will be plenty of headroom for anyone underneath. The canopy fabric is made of a lightweight denier polyester, offering water resistant features and 50+ UPF, which we love. Being protected from the suns harmful UVB rays is probably why you wanted a canopy tent in the first place, and this Ozark Trail tent meets all criteria in this department.
The Ozark Trail XXL Director chair’s metal frame has an all-business look about it too, which clearly sends the message ozark trail backpack that… Leader Accessories is one of the highest-rated pop-up shelters on the market, but is it the right one for you?
One thing we love about ozark trail backpack tents are the accessories that can be added to the shelters. These include sidewalls, weight bags, and a host of other great add-ons that can really increase the use and versatility of the canopy tent. Perhaps our two favorites are camping tent additions that connect to the frame of the shelter and leverage the stability of the 10×10 frame to support a camping tent structure. Though it is a cabin-style tent, the slanted walls will give it more wind resistance than a typical cabin tent. The tent has a special mud pad that keeps your shoes clean and protects the tent’s base from mud and grime. The attached rolling storage bag makes carrying this tent around after using a breeze.
From a positive perspective, the lightweight design increases portability which is certainly important in carrying the tent to its intended location. From a negative perspective, the weight is indicative of a lack of high quality material and components used throughout the shelter. The included carrying bag does not have wheels to aid in transportation, but at only 29 lbs. We don’t find that to be a noteworthy drawback as the nylon handles and shoulder strap work just fine in carrying the tent. There is a large insulated area in all of the soft coolers and also plenty of pockets, both on the front and the sides. The pockets on the front have a zipper while the side ones are mesh pockets.
Ozark Trail makes some of the best instant tents around, and certainly one of the most affordable. REI had a member sale over Memorial Day weekend and we were able to save 20% on our cooler. Adventure is where memories are made, whether it s campouts in the back yard with the kids, Saturdays at the river with friends, or a week in the wilderness alone.
