Thanks for the thoughts. It does come in other not-so-bright colors.

I was curious about the material too - I noticed not silnylon, but that stuff is pretty steep in price.

It might be worth buying one just for kicks and seeing how it holds up. Some of the pics show it as a tent, others with a fold in the top to make a pup-tent/A-frame profile. Without window screens I wouldn't take it around any lakes/streams in the summer, but in spring or fall, it might be OK.
