So, what’s the deal with these so-called “sun shelters”? I mean, are they really designed to protect you from the sun or just a glorified picnic table for heatstroke enthusiasts? I’ve seen claims that they’re the next big thing in outdoor gear, but I’ve also seen more reliable ways to roast marshmallows—namely standing next to a campfire. Anyone actually used one on a hike that didn’t result in a free sauna session? Enlighten me before I invest in the gift that keeps on… sizzling!
