Explore Planet Earth Speedy Pop-Up Tent Review
The Explore Planet Earth Speedy Blackhole Pop Up Tent gets its name from the tent’s blackout wall feature. The black polyester walls and fly sheet helps block out the sun allowing the interior to stay cool. This tent is great for campers who wants to sleep in past the sunrise.
Another feature for this tent is that it comes with installed lighting system. The tent can get pretty dark inside so it’s good to know that the manufacturers added interior lights.
For the setup, you just need to unzip the tent and it will gradually pop itself up. This tent is on the larger side for a pop up tent and can accommodate up to 3 people inside. Once it has unfolded to its full size, just peg the tent down so the wind doesn’t blow it away.
The tent is waterproof and durable. The floor is made of durable Nylon 2000mm waterproof polyester and the outer sheet also is waterproof with fully taped seams. There’s no problem with ventilation inside as there are several mesh panels.
I’d be comfortable bringing this tent along to easy hiking trips where the weather is mostly predictable.
Pros
Weatherproof – This tent can be brought along hikes as the materials used for it are heavy duty materials. The waterproof fabric can keep you dry inside despite of strong rains.
Lighting system – The integrated lighting systems means you don’t need to carry along a lamp when you go on a trip. That saves you space for other things to bring.
Blackout feature – The blackout feature to keep the tent from getting too warm in the middle of a hot day and gives you more reason to sleep in late in the morning.
Cons
Space – I would say it’s possible to get cramped inside if 3 people will be using the tent. There should only be a maximum of 2 people inside the tent to make sure everyone has a great sleep.
