EighteenTek Pod All Weather Sports Tent with Sealed Floor - Instant Tent Shelter - Outdoor Bubble Tent - Rain Tent Camping Sun Shelter Pop Up Clear, Patent Pending for Sports Events Fishing Cheering

Great for baseball games! Very sturdy, nice size…we can fit our 2 chairs and have lots of extra room for gear, snacks, etc. Keeps us out of the wind and rain. Warmer than sitting out in the cold!

I'm pleased with this little pod. It sets up quickly and breaks down quickly, once you learn the technique. I really like that it has a water resistant floor. If I'm trying to stay mostly dry, I don't want to be sitting on a wet surface. The zippers function well with three possible openings to help manage ventilation. There are two short, shock corded poles that criss-cross on the top that work well to push up the top into a dome shape and give a bit more head clearance. The construction seems to be solid. Time will tell. It has a pretty small footprint, so it doesn't take up much space. I find it perfect for one person. Two could fit, I suppose. It would be tight quarters and likely someone would have to have a shoulder against the side of the pod. There are a few minuses, all of which are inherent in anything of this design, not just this Eighteen Tec model. It is not tall enough to stand up in, unless you are really short. Because of the sloping sides, if you open the flaps in any significant rain, the rain will come inside. That can't be helped. If it were windy, I think it would be pretty unstable and need to be staked out at the corners at the minimum and better yet, secured with the included guy lines and stakes. That will increase the footprint significantly. Lastly, don't expect this, or any others, to be as if looking through glass. Thick, flexible plastic is never going to be optically clear. That's a given. And having this folded and stuffed puts all kinds of wrinkles in the plastic on top of that, so it is not a crystal clear view. That can't be helped, I believe, and it seems to me that it is the nature of such an item, regardless of the manufacturer. It will work well for attending kids' games, maybe a rainy parade, a drink on a cold day in the yard, bird watching, and who knows what else. In summary, I find it meets my expectations and will serve its purpose well for me. If you are considering such a pod, I would recommend it.

This tent is really cute and portable. Seems like it’s made of high quality material. I only had it for a few days so I have to wait to see how it will withstand the weather and time. Very easy to pop up, but a little tricky to install the ceiling support because one can punch the tent if not being careful. Windows and door are very nice, especially the all-around zippers letting one adjust the openings according to the weather. The floor tarp is very nice to have too.I would have liked it even more if: (1) the lower part is not transparent, so the person inside does not feel totally “exposed” to outsiders, and (2) screens that can be attached to the windows and door are available, so the user can block out bugs in the warm weather.Lastly, I understand the trade-off between size and portability. But this tent somehow reminds me of the parking attendants’ booths. I am a petite person and just fit right in. A roomier tent that allows one person to stretch out arms and legs a bit may be more desirable for more people.

It is very well made. Easy to assemble. A little tricky to close it but it’s possible, don’t be scared to break it. We found a useful video online that helped us close it. It is very roomy and it seems like it would protect us well from the weather. The zippers are well made and hold strong. We look forward to using it every Saturday for soccer games.

Purchased the 63 x 63 x 63 tent to use for our grandson’s baseball games. We have used it twice already during a cold, windy, rainy baseball tournament and I stayed warm and dry as well as my daughter and 16 month old granddaughter. It was very stable in 10-15 mph winds with the corners staked. We kept the doorway to the side and zipped and used the side window slightly unzipped to view the games. We closed the window completely during the rain and were still able to view the game through the clear plastic. It also made a perfect “containment” for my granddaughter and she enjoyed playing with her toys while staying warm and dry, since it has a floor also. We had several people stop by and ask us where we got it and what size it was. I gladly informed them of my Eighteen Tek Amazon purchase and quick delivery.It was very easy to put up. Since it is very sturdy it is a little difficult to fold up. It took two of us to get it folded and put into carrying bag. We knew how to fold it but just the size and sturdiness made it difficult. Also, it did take up the entire cargo area of a Subaru Forester, so keep in mind if you have a small cargo area when buying the larger sizes.

Super helpful with rainy weather and thoroughly blocks out wind chill. Easy to fold! Treat it with a little RainX to keep the condensation from beading up and impeding your view. Enjoy!

I bought this tent/bubble back in March in preparation of the track season. However, each track meet had good weather or a covered stadium and I didn’t need to use the tent until this evening. I set it up got everything organized and within an hour, the floor began getting wet. It wasn’t leaking through the zippers, and upon some investigation, I realized it was leaking through the material at the bottom, the tent is easy to assemble easy to take down even for one person and made the track meet much more tolerable having the floor is good because it keeps the tent from flying away in the wind however, don’t trust it to keep your things dry. I am a bit frustrated that it’s leaking. I’m not sure if it’s isolated to my specific tent or a design flaw but I did a lot of reading and a lot of research before choosing this tent over other brands.
