SOMBRA SUN SHADE - AWESOME UNIQUE BEACH TENT DESIGN - SMALL, LIGHT & PORTABLE - UV PROTECTION SUN SHADE BEACH TENT CABANA UMBRELLA - FAST 2 MINUTE SET UP - WEATHER PROOF & WIND PROOF TO 40 MPH(Orange)

So, definitely not good for "any outdoor activity," unless you do everything lying down. Fully set up, it's maybe 36" high at the tallest point. I got it for the sidelines at my daughter's sporting events, and I feel the description was a little misleading. Also, it really doesn't set up anywhere...if you don't have some significant weight (like lots of sand) handy wherever you are setting up, it's worthless. I'm disappointed but I'll throw it in the beach bag and hope to use it eventually.

We are beach people and go often. over the years we have endured different types of shade including the traditional umbrella, which wasn't big enough for more than 1 1/2 people and not very sturdy and a 10' X 10' canopy that was VERY heavy and awkward to put up and take down. We found the SOMBRA on line and LOVE it. Perfect for 2 people, to we bought one for our daughter and friends and put them up next to each other...Very light, easy to carry, quick to set-up and withstands strong winds. Please note, the more sand you put in the anchor pockets the better....

Love it! Keeps you cool and didn't get blown away by the wind at Huntington Beach CA. Very easy to set up, take down, and its light weight. Had many compliments with my dog just sitting under it's shade like a boss. Get this you won't regret it.

Impossible to put up with any form of wind

First time using it and loving it!

The slightest breeze made the thing impossible to set up. It was about the calmest day you could hope for at the beach, yet this this thing became a buffeting parachute the instant I lifted it.It was shortly demoted to becoming an overpriced beach blanket.

I love this shade tent! It is really lightweight and was super easy to set up. It was great for giving me some shade to read and for my youngest to nap, while still catching the great breeze from the ocean. Totally recommend it.
