What type of tent am i on about?

It was like a pop up tent but you pulled it up from the top and it fitted into place i had one of these 2 year ago and it was far better and water proof then the go + pop up rubbish i have now.

You are probably thinking of an umbrella tent. I have one stashed in the attic and it was a doddle to put up and take down.
Stand it on one end and pull the strings. The whole routine takes about 10 seconds.

Great system and it made the Khyam rapidex system look slow.


I suppose the only real downside was the size of the pack when folded.

That is it i bought it from aldi so you can't buy them like that anymore?

I'm pretty sure I saw something similar in Costco a few months back.

It was one of these LightSpeed Tents : Tent Shelter Video £40 if i remember correctly

I saw the video and it's amazing how the man pitch the tent for less than 2 minutes.
Anyways, I use blue pop canopy tent whenever I go camping, its a like a pop up and water proof tent, It's very reliable in all kinds of weather and is easy to convert.
