Instant Pop-Up Tent (2P)

Scored 7/10 — their most legitimate pick of the six. Pitches in seconds against eight minutes for a backpacking tent, and is comically more spacious inside. Teardown is where it nearly loses it: without knowing the folding trick it took over two minutes. Far too bulky to carry any distance, so this is a drive-to-camp tent.

• “It set itself up. It literally hit me in the face.”
