I have the Harrison Pup Tent model and have had no problems. I've also used
a smaller bag for working with my 35mm setup - also no problems. Now I must
also say that I'm not using these bags out in direct sunlight when I do a
film change. I'm usually inside or at least in my car or under some shade.
It seems to me that most films recommend you not load them in direct light
but under subdued conditions (maybe that is just 120 film?).

As far as a bag vs tent, it takes more time to set the little tent up than
the bag, but once ready, you aren't fighting keeping the bag out of the
way. This pup tent model rolls up into a 9 x 3inch bag - not the best for
carrying, but certainly useful to leave in the car or hotel room.
