For all intents and purposes, there’s nothing elegant or refined about the Melina Tent. I mean, it looks shoddy. It does, however, accomplish the job of transforming from a pile that you can carry on your back to a tent that you can use as functional shelter for the night without any complicated setup.
Instead of being pitched like regular tents, it comes with an accordion-style frame that allows it to stretch and compress by simply pushing or pulling on either end of the frame.
