    Hi! How do you like the black Neso? i'm thinking on buying one, but iÂīm not sure as if it will be too hot under the tent. Given it is a sunny beach day with regular to low winds, how does temperature feel inside?

    • @BeachGearGuy
      @BeachGearGuy  8 āļŦāļĨāļēāļĒāđ€āļ”āļ·āļ­āļ™āļāđˆāļ­āļ™

      It feels cooler under the black Neso because it absorbs the sun's heat, keeping everything underneath it cooler than lighter colors. Does that help ya out?

    I'm on the fence about purchasing one of the following tents for 2/3 people: Neso Grande, Red Suricata and Sun Ninja... I read that the most wind resistant and portable is the Neso (I'm aware that it comes with only 2 poles), which one would you recommend? The Suricata seems too pricy (I don't need all the accessories included)... Thank you

      @@BeachGearGuy I'm in touch with the producer, they told me that UV protection is the highest for the black print, while the heat perception under it is not relevant as these tents are created to reflect heat from the surface... Would you recommend the black version? I burned my skin standing under my previous blue tent from another brand so I'm leaning towards darker colors

    well. first time using our new neso grande. winds today according to my app says 14 and gusts to 27. on the beech feels like steady 27.
    it took a couple tries to get the bags buried deep enough but it’s holding well all day.

      that windy day ended up bending a pole. neso is sending me a replacement. they have great customer service. they did tell me that they do not recommend burying the sand bags. if they move just mound up sand in front of them.

      @@CHRISTIAANTODD3 I'm Sorry to hear about your troubles at the beach. I've never had a Grande pole break, but I have had a Gigante pole snap in the wind. Neso recommends bracing and burring their anchor bags in one of their instructional videos. I think I've actually wind-tested their products more than they have. But I'm glad they're sending you a replacement pole. I hope your next trip to the beach is a better one.
