However, this Spring we had a 3 week holiday and the tent's outer cover did not cope well at all. Hello Hong.
The reviews all seem to point to the fact that it really is a great tent and the cons are only minor. We had paid for our accommodation, tent was 3 days old, expense of 2vehicles travelling to location. Floor feels durable. That is a great choice my friend and you certainly cannot go wrong with that tent if you’re after a total glamping experience. The tent came with lots of metal pegs, we only use 2 thirds with 3 awnings up, only bought 8 spare plastic pegs for camping on sand. The Coleman 8 Person Instant Tent hasn’t had the best reputation throughout the years, mostly because customers have received bad quality tents.
We have taken the 12 man coleman camping twice now, for a week each time. Branch feel down and ripped a hole in fly, easy to fix on sewing machine by self. Great information, I have always thought Coleman was one of the better camping lines out there. Don’t think that the features end here. Similar opinion? I love each and every detail written on each product. The kids are more prone to tripping over and hurting themselves, The window awnings block a little of the outside view when the rain fly is on, Actually fits into the carry bag without a struggle, Super strong fabric, which is double the thickness than its competitors, Has some of the best ventilation I’ve seen on a tent, Has awesome rain resistance thanks to the bathtub floor, welded floors and inverted seams, A tall center height so anyone under 6.5 feet can stand and walk around comfortably, No stargazing opportunities which is kind of a big deal considering it IS a summer tent, Reports of condensation buildup on the roof since there is no mesh, The zippers are high quality, smooth and watertight and do not snag, Holds a queen-sized air mattress with enough room for gear, Has good ventilation and doesn’t have condensation buildup, not even during the night, Has good rain and wind resistance thanks to Coleman’s WeatherTec and Insta-Clip pole attachments, May leak at the seams without any seam sealer applied to it, Keeps you bone dry even in torrential rain, which is a surprise considering the low price of this tent, It’s so basic and lightweight yet packs a punch at the same time especially with the full mesh body, Has vertical walls so you can actually sit up comfortably without touching the sides, Has panoramic viewing opportunities and lots of ventilation, Does a remarkable job at standing in strong winds, Has strict setup instructions that need to be followed correctly even if you’re an avid camper, Much heavier than other backpacking tents. The setup and takedown are two other points deserving some praise. People we need to remember this is c... amping and not a 5 star hotel we need to enjoy it for what it is even with a little leak or a problem here most things can be rectified. The ceiling consists of mesh, which acts as a ventilation point. They are not all high quality or going to last a long time, however, the ones outlined below are definitely the better ones out of the many available.
