Shiftpod

If you were at the Burning Man festival this year, you most likely saw one of these shelters. Shiftpods are a popular choice for festivals thanks to their ease-of-use, dust-proof skin and heat reflectivity. They are crafted with a patented six-layer composite reflective "Dark Out" fabric that is built to withstand the elements, retains heat more efficiently and also works well in diluting outside noise. Designed by Advanced Shelter Systems, the Shiftpod can be set up quickly, can withstand heavy winds, and is big enough to stand up in. Multiple screened doors and windows allow for proper airflow, while bug screens keep unwanted guests out. Other features include multi-pocket wall bag organizers as well as combo locks for security. The portable shelter is also compatible with the company´s tunnel system, letting you expand it, to connect more shelters for larger groups.

Head over to their website, they are currently $200 off.
