I bought this product to take with me in the jungle, as part of my survival and emergency kit.
It is a product that provides protection from environmental elements such as rain, wind and cold, it's easy and fast to install in case of an unexpected event and is ready for use, because it brings the rope included.
The sealed package allows me to carry it in my bag, and know that it will always be dry even if I fall into a river or stream.
This product is ideal for its weight and ease of storage.
I think it is good addition for those who have kits for emergencies or survival situations.

If you want to be truly prepared for an emergency or survival, then by all means, add one or two of these to your collection of stored emergency supplies, or with camping gear.....I certainly have a few myself. However, if you like to pinch pennies wherever you can, you could probably skip this item and just stock up on the emergency blankets that are made of the same material and easily use them in conjunction with some rope to get to the same end point. The blankets are a bit more versatile and therefore a slightly better buy.

two things I don't like it: 1) this is a tube tent, which means both ends are open; 2)the tent is very hard to be set up. although a rope is provided, it is almost impossible to be set up as the picture showed, especially when it is windy.

For the buck, can't beat this handy and workable tent. Lightweight in texture,
and windcutting and body heat saving. Wise to keep this handy with first aid
supplies.

Great tube tent style shelter with metalized foil lining. Light weight and will work for one or two times. Get a heavier version for longer use. This is good for one time survival but will not hold up to multiple uses. Keep these in your kit for a fire reflector or to keep heat inside of a small tent. Can be used folded up more like a tarp as a reflector. Get several of these.

I used this as one of the layers to protect my motorcycle from the harsh winter elements. It is waterproof and a very good wind barrier. And it appears to retain heat well. You can put your hand behind it to get a feel of its efficaciousness. The tent folds out easily and comes with an attached nylon cord. It seems well constructed. It is basically a long sheet of mylar sheet that is folded into a triangle and taped with a good quality (yellow in my case) tape. You won't be able to get the tape off without tearing the tent. So my point is it holds it together pretty well.

Cheap, small, good emergency item. Perfect for putting in vehicle and forgetting about it. Hope I never need it, but its good to be prepared.

This "tent" is made of the kind of material used to make thermal blankets. As such, it is expected to preserve body heat and, therefore, protect from exposure. It is also reflective and can aid rescuers find the person using it. The product may be shaped like a tent, but it can hardly be called that. It does not contain the kinds of poles and tools needed to set up an actual tent. To set it up, you would have to pull a rope between two trees (or similar structures) to keep the upper edge above ground; even then, there wouldn't be any way of affixing the "floor" to the ground. This seems to defeat the purpose of the "tent," as it is supposed to protect from bad weather, and bad weather usually comes with strong wind. Therefore, I see this product as essentially an oversize thermal blanket that can protect more than one person at a time, but not as a proper tent. It's main advantage over a real tent is that it is folds so small that it fits in a small emergency kit.

I purchased this item to put in my survival bag, and it looks good. Hope I never need it, but its small enough and better to have and not need then to need and not have.

Couldnt be happier with this one. It shipped fast AND it came with an unexpected little can opener like they used in WWII. Neat! Not only is it memorabilia, IT's FUNCTIONAL. Anyway, hope to never need to use it but glad I have it if I do.
