Is there any SPF rating for this tent?

I contacted Picnic Time through their website and they told me that the Manta Sun Shelter had an SPF rating of 50+.

Hi, I have not come across an SPF rating for this tent and there was no SPF rating in the literature that accompanied the tent.

The sun protection isn't great, however it is really light which makes it easy to pack and set up. It is also very breathable. I thought I would use it at the beach for my one year old, but have got more use out of it while camping (it's the play tent), in our yard and inside the house. I tie a light blanket or sheet over it if more shade is needed. Overall, I initially purchased it for the shade but have already got my money's worth out of it for different reasons. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

It is a good tent as long as it is NOT hot, you would be better off with a good ENO hammock, bug net and tarp. The same weight but more comfortable.

I've had mine for a little over a year. My son and I live in it each summer. It's been up at least 90 days and nights since we bought it. We are very happy with the tent. I substitute an adjustable pole on one side of the shade canopy so it will shed water. My tent has gotten some tiny holes from tree branches, but those patched up very well.

No. It is a decent 3 and a bit season tent but the mesh portions of the body are substantial.

The shirt has a spf rating of 50. I body surfed in hawaii wearing this shirt and did get burned or tan.

It doesnt specify if it is for indoor tanning or both. I would imagine you could use it outside as well. There is no listed SPF either. I have used it outside and was fine. I dont normally burn though in the sun.

I have this tent and I have used it in the heat of a muggy FL summer. It does breath but not like having a non-canvas tent (I also have the Big House from Big Agnes). But if it's raining this tent is much more breathable than the other tents that have to have rain fly's on. it's really a trade off. I use this tent every single time I go camping if it's 90 degrees or 20 degrees. It's a great tent that is built like a tank and will last a lifetime. My advice... buy the tent and get a box fan to put in it during the summer.

If u take the 20 min at most 30 to set it up well then i have had no problems with highwind or bad rain. If u do have water running under the tent it will pull the heat out of your body without a good pad or blanket under you. And i havent set it up with the cover off in high wind. It may move a tiny bit but nothing to worry about.

Seems OK. We have used the tent mostly in the arid West so far. Don't know yet how well it will do in the Everglades!

I have no experience with specific four season tents, but I would not classify it as such. I've spent some chilly nights in it. Good three season tent for sure, though.

Took this tent to burning man last year, which is daytime temps of 85+ everyday for 10 days -- stood up very well to the wind, the canvas kept the playa (the fine dust) out and we had a battery powered fan going inside the tent for when we needed to knock out during the day. We had our tent pitched in the shade, and it worked out well for us. I won't say it was particularly pleasant to be inside during the hottest part of the day, even being in the shade with a fan, but it worked for us. That said, when this tent is closed up and in the sun it heats up mighty fast. If you don't have any shade to put it under and it's going to be 85 out I would recommend something that isn't made of canvas -- if keeping cool during the day is important to you.

Any sun coming from those is negligible... being so low to the ground. I actually was wishing there was more mesh on the back for even more airflow. The biggest factor for how much shade there is depends on the angle to the sun. Facing south, you'll only really get shade on your upper body at mid-day anyway. If you face any other direction, you get enough shade for 3+ adult camp chairs and gear and won't really notice light coming through ventilation mesh. If you face NW/N/NE, you'll have enough shade to have lots of kids/adults lay out a blanket in front of the chairs and have nice shade. (all of this assuming your latitude is similar to Washington DC)

I bought this tent for the very same reason. It did a great job and I left it up all summer long with out any problems.Wind or rain did not have any effect on it. Love this product!

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price. I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

I was camping last month. Lows down into the low 30s. Had the vents and fly shut down tight and was very warm. I haven't been in the tent during a wind storm yet but have had 3/4 inch of rain in an hour and not a drop got in. I love this tent.
