Beachcasting day shelter.

anyone tried one of these?
FISHING BEACH SHELTER BIVVI TENT 7ft wide with groundsheet carrybag quick erect | eBay

Got me thinking - only 2lb in weight so easy and light to carry - must be strong enough to face some of the stronger winds that you can get on the beach.

And very cheap - looking for a day shelter for occasional use such as on the Wye - when perhaps not needing to move much.

Very much like this i guess http://www.totalfishinggear.co.uk/online.cfm/tfg-bivvies-and-brollies/hardwear-day-shelter/39/no%20/64776

But i suppose they are not to useful unless you are on even ground (if they have a sewn in groundsheet?)
any experience or views?

Not tried one,but have seen a collapsed one flying down the beach in a breeze, with a very ipssed off angler chasing it, but,pegging out in sand is not easy,maybe it will be ok for a river bank,cheap as chips as well.
If you do get one and its ok, let us all know.
