Plastic tent

I think it is just a novelty in one boutique here. It is actually an umbrella with a transparent material. But the design is like a tent. The store attendant said that it can be used as a tent in case there is a sudden downpour. I didn't buy although I was laughing to that novelty. But after some years, I now realize that the plastic tent has a good purpose and a practical one. When you are caught by a heavy rain and there is no shelter, you can use that plastic tent as a shelter instead of using it as an umbrella. Especially when you are in a nature trip, that's good enough to keep you dry.

"No tanks!" I stick to my standard brands that have protected me against the elements for years.

Though - I have used shelters.
