Popup Tents

I'm taking one with me on my next bike tour. For Showering, Toilet or a light rain shelter. Too bad, that thing and it's bag are huge. It's basically the size of a bike tire. Other than that, I guess it's fine.

Anything I have to know or advise from seasoned popup tent users?

its up fast, water resistant, sounds good when you don't want to get completly drenched by rain and no other shelter is near.

>water resistant

The first thing I learned on my first big bike tour was that water 'resistance' is absolutely worthless. If it's not water PROOF it might as well be paper.

But, whatever floats your boat.

well I already bought it and other people use it as showers so it shouldn't be too bad. If it really starts leaking I just trash it as it was cheap as fuck anyway.

False economy. Use that money you wasted on 5x cheap things to buy 1 multipurpose, high performance, light and robust thing. You'll be much happier and the world will be better. Let china destroy our environment and souls with mindless consumerism - you're white, you can do better. Buy once, cry once.

>doesn't know about planed obsolescence
While I've seen very good and long lasting expensive products, you can't make a expensive=good analogy. If I buy something cheap I can be rough with it and be done with it. If I buy something expensive, I'd be more carefull with it but if it still breaks or I see it's actually overpriced "cheap shit", I'd be angry as fuck.

Had one, burned it.
I had problems packing it back and people laughed at me, pointed fingers. Fuck popup tents. They are niggers of tents.
It literally takes a minute to set up a normal iglo tent anyway.
Fuck.... just remembering it got me mad.

Cheap shit is cheap for a reason.
More pricey can be overpriced or higher quality. This is where advertisements, paid blog "reviews" and product placement muddles the facts.
