Coleman 8-Person Instant Tent Reviews

Get better airflow in your coleman cooler with the Coleman Rainfly Accessory. Since the Coleman tents are so well sealed and protected from the rain, campers sometimes lose some airflow when it starts to pour. This rainfly accessory for the 10 x 9 ft. 6-Person Coleman Instant Tent gives you added protection from the weather.

Although they are not the cheapest tents on the market personally I think they are worth the price tag. The clever thing about the Coleman’s Instant Tent is that the poles are on the outside and fold along with the tent, making setting up camp easy and quick. Unzip a window and you expose the screens, which are angled toward the sky, to the rain falling down. But the walls, which are made of fabric that’s “twice as thick” as standard tent fabric, according to Coleman, make for a stuffy place to sleep. Vestibules are the covered area outside of the main dwelling area in your tent. This area provides extra space to store your belongings or take off muddy clothing and shoes.

Customers note that this is a great shelter for 3 or 4 season camping. But it’s much better suited to cooler environments than warm summer camping. There are huge doors so you can use them to improve airflow. Solid windows and all openings can be closed to keep warm. The high water resistance rating makes this 4 season model completely waterproof. High construction poles are the best option for high wind areas.

The Cabin wasn’t built for four, but you could make it work in a pinch. The door only opens halfway, a disappointing feature found in other Coleman tents. If you’re camping in the summer season, a tent with windows is a must. These tents are made to be sturdy and reliable without being too complicated to set up. Make the most out of your camping and backpacking trips with quality Coleman tents. Whether you need a two person or eight person tent, you can find something here.

This was not a strong wind, more like a gust in a breeze and should not have injured the tent at all. On our camping trip, the four-person tent, which costs just $136.99, did in fact set up with ease. Unfold the bundle of nylon and interlinked poles from its duffel bag and the shelter almost pops to its shape. All that’s needed is to extend the poles and click them into place. I agree with the last reviewer…tent looks good, setup is really nice, but the plastic corner brackets break way too easy, metal ones and this tent would be awesome. I like the weatherctec system, on most Coleman tents seems they stay dry even in heavy rains.
