1 year review: great for privacy, OK for showering.
I spent hours searching the internet for a good privacy shelter, and this one has worked pretty well. 1 year into using it, here's the pros: it is extremely easy to pitch up and store back in the bag, I'm talking by myself in about 30 seconds. It is great that there are zipper panels to open up to allow air in and out of the shelter - specifically the 2 at the top. All of the clips have held up well without any tears. Now the cons: it is not as ideal as I had hoped for showering. Tying down cables is absolutely required to keep the shelter from bending if you are using a shower bag. They are included. There is a pouch with buckles inside the top of the shelter to hold a shower bag - it does not hold a 5 gallon bag, but can handle a 1-3 gallon. It is a little sketchy and not the strongest design for showering, but it works. I hope the company can release a newer model with stronger framework and a better system to hold the shower bag.

Light and quick set up.
Easy set up, plenty of space. Staked down, it lasted through a full night of wind and rain. Being new, the inside stayed dry with a little dripping around the roof vents. Also the roof straps held over 3 gallons of water in the shower bag. There is an art to balancing the bag with that much water but it's manageable. One thing I learned, you need to manage the tensions of your staked out lines so the door is easy to open and close. I would recommend this because it's light and easy to set up. I've seen other that are heavier and cost more with a bit more strength but the Lightspeed has worked out great for our family camps.

Room for 2 + Zodi Shower!
This privacy shelter was easy to set up and handled high winds with ease. The dual-direction zipper allowed us to hang our clothes and towels on the poles and simply open the top of the door to grab them when done showering. The vents on the top let the hot shower steam out, making showering comfortable, even under direct sunlight. Because the Lightspeed Shelter doesn't become a sauna, like my Cleanwaste, (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000CCM8C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which was the best at the time, but is now assigned to toilet duty. There is enough room for two to shower, along with the Zodi Outback Gear Extreme Hot shower tank and shower pole.

Does the job but questionable design
Set this up and it will work fine as a privacy tent for taking outdoor showers next to our Van, but it doesn't seem to be designed correctly. Setup is a breeze but the take-down is a little difficult and the 4 legs don't fold up smoothly and you'll need to unnaturally bend them (but only slightly) to get them to go into the bag. I watched their video several times and there is really only one way for this to work - it just wasn't designed right. However, the amount of force needed to have them fold up isn't bad so I'll just make the best of it - I don't think it will be an issue in the long run. Their support, by the way, was less than helpful.

Almost perfect...
Love the fact that setup and tear down takes literally seconds, no kidding. It is large as stated and like I said, it is almost perfect, but not enough for me. In my opinion, it is lacking more ventilation, it barely has 2 tiny triangles on its roof, a lot smaller than the ones you see on their picture for sure. also, there are NO windows to open on any of the four sides. this little tent gets really HOT very quick, not very comfortable to be in. even for brief periods of time. and if it rains or sap fall on your tent, it will go right thru. Why would they not added a rain fly is beyond me.Needless to say, I sent it back, I wanted to like it so bad, but it was too hot in there and had no rain protection what soever. It needs cross ventilation, and a rain fly.After returning this one, I went with "Vidalido Outdoor Shower Tent Changing Room" instead which had everything this tent was lacking, setup and tear down wasn't as quick as this one or as roomie inside but much more comfortable and useful.

Great weather break for soccer games!
Using it as a weather break for Soccer games. Sprinkles/sleet and 30mph wind in 34 degrees, it was great! Reserve 5-6 kids could all stand inside or 4 adults fit fine in the XL. Set up/break down was smooth. Anything over 20mph will need the guy wires deployed but the frame was very forgiving as it twisted with no damage before we set the wires. Love the open center and extra durable floor surround so a chair sitting inside or cleats would not damage nor dirt stay inside, unlike many of the lightweight, beach tent styles I also considered and see out on the fields.Only negative is the light weight stakes as with most tents. These are only bent at a 90 degree instead of 180 degree curved down so the guy wire stakes especially are prone to rotate, releasing the string. Not a deal breaker for an otherwise very good design. Buy it!

Nice setup for a shower!
We bought this shower to use at our property as a shower as we don't have running water yet in our cabin. Overall it worked great! The setup was pretty easy, though the straps that secure the bottom of the shower to the poles got twisted somehow, so when I first tried to open it up it seemed as if it was inside out. During the struggle to figure that out I abraided the side against the concrete and rubbed two small holes in the material. My fault. Otherwise the setup was easy, and my portable shower idea worked flawlessly, that is until I ran out of water halfway through 😳 I was the last of 4 to shower so I can't complain too much! We hung the shower head on a loop near the top of the shower, and a small battery powered lantern from the interior center hanger for light. The cleanup and takedown was also easy, and we look forward to the continued use at our ranch! My 4 stars is only for the thickness of the material. I wish it was a bit more heavy duty, but it will do the trick. I would highly recommend this product for an outdoor shower!*As a side note I am 6' tall and had plenty of interior room to stand up.

Fast, durable, and useful
We use the Lightspeed as an addition to our small van when camping. I was looking for something that would be easy to setup, take down, and store while being strong enough to surive bad weather and travelling. While it took some practice, I can setup or take down the Lightspeed in under 2 minutes. Its well made and a good addition to our camping gear.

It's a great size. Tall enough and wide enough
It's a great size. Tall enough and wide enough. I use it as a camping shower tent. It is so great for festivals since there are such big line ups at the showers plus they cost money. This was easy to set up and take down and worked great. So pleased! I can also see us getting lots of use as our family grows. It will be great as a change tent for the kids when we are at beaches. It's light enough to carry and easy to set up.

The cheap pop up options are too small for me this works perfect.
needed something for a camp shower and bathroom when in groups on off road trips. The cheap pop up options are too small for me this works perfect.
