If you're looking for portable shade, buy this product!!

I purchased the Kelty Sunshade for our trip to Martha's Vineyard. Some friends have a place in Chilmark which is on the south shore, fully exposed to the ocean breezes.

This product provided much needed shade on a wide open beach. We set it up in a low profile for maximum shade area. It allowed for six adults in low beach chairs and a few children stopping in for a rest and shade from time to time.

On hot days, the breeze allowed by this wonderful design was most welcomed and it was very stable in a pretty stiff breeze.

The Kelty Sunshade would also serve as a tent in ideal conditions. Although I haven't done so yet, I will take the Sunshade on our Connecticut River canoe day trips to set up on river islands for shade.

Although setting it up for the first time takes a little effort, it's a snap after that.
