My girlfriend and I just got back from Electric Forest. It was my first time using this tent. It was super windy and was raining buckets to the point where there were inches of standing water outside the tent (see photo). Without even treating it with campdry or any sealant, we were bone dry and cozy in this tent for five days, and we only had the rain fly on and a tarp that covered about half the tent. It is a freaking TANK! Been camping my whole life and never had a tent this waterproof. It’s also super breathable even with the rain fly and a tarp; the little vent near the bottom is a great feature. Do yourself a favor and get this tent and a big tarp to go over it, and maybe a drop cloth to protect the bottom, and I promise you’ll be dry in any storm. Plus, bonus points for being super easy to set up, and tall enough to stand in! Can’t wait to use this tent again, it’s better than any of the more expensive tents I’ve ever used.
Tip for getting it back in the bag: Fold in half longways. Then fold in thirds longways. Then roll 🙂 rain fly just folded a few times and rolled and had no problems getting it all back in the bag.
EDIT: 4 years and many festivals, camping trips and a few girlfriends later, this tent is still going strong. You won’t be disappointed!

While the tent is well made and easy to assemble, it more realistically holds about 4 people at max. The most disappointing thing was that it clearly says this comes with 6 horses (see the attached picture). I only received the tent, no ponies.
Tents made by Coleman is very strong and durable . I carried this tent to ladakh. It was snowing at that moment we decided to camp due to the temperature although we thought we can still feel the cold in the tent but it was warm and promising against winds. Good product. Highily recommend.

To start, this is a fantastic tent to take the family out for the weekend during warm weather. It is spacious, has plenty of headroom, has an awesome full tarp liner for the bottom (I still recommend placing another ground tarp down before setting up the tent to avoid any rips or tears in the tents bottom, let the cheaper replaceable ground tarp take that beating) If you are going for a multi day float trip this tent couldn’t be better, or if you are camping where your car is accessible and weight is not so much of an issue this tent is AWESOME. And as far as my comment about the weight, its a 3 person tent, so I cant really complain that much (I acknowledge my bias, I prefer 2lb 1man tents, thought not nearly as spacious or user friendly).
I got this tent because I knew I wanted more room for the dog and to get my girlfriend to actually enjoy camping. But I didn’t expect this tent to be this huge, we had more than enough room for the two of us and my dog (lab/pointer mix) with plenty of room for our packs.
This tent WILL KEEP YOU DRY, I took this tent on a multi day float trip from Missouri down into Arkansas, during which time I got rained on and the river even came up to one corner of the tent bottom and not a drop came into the tent.
If you are an average camper who isn’t so much into the long distance backpacking this tent is awesome, seriously, you should just buy it now if you fit in that category.
Now here are my critiques, and my comments for those more adventurous people looking for a tent.
This is NOT a COLD WEATHER tent! This is also the reason I didn’t give it the full 5 stars. I took this tent out for a trip to the spanish peaks in colorado and camped out multiple nights. It was mid May and we camped at 10K ft. the night dropped down to the low 20’s F and we were freezing, the gusts of wind would run right through this tent. This tent has a big mesh ceiling, a tall ceiling, and a large breathable mesh hole on the back wall, all of this is great for warm environments, however, it does not hold in heat, it expels it. It is too breathable for cold or windy environments.
For those looking for a winter tent, I am not saying that you want a tent that is totally sealed up, tents that are totally sealed up cause you to sweat and holds in the moisture, moisture is your enemy in below freezing condition. You want something breathable, but you also want to keep in the heat, look for something with a lower ceiling and a rain fly that runs all the way to the ground, including covering up the doors (people use that area for their boots usually). Tents that have those types of rain fly’s will have slots cut out that you can open to get a small amount of breathability out of the rain fly. With the addition of a rain fly like that I would say that this tent would fully fall into that 3rd season they advertise, but without a beefed up rain fly I would argue that this tent is more compatible for summer camping only. This rain fly keeps out the rain exceptionally well, but not so much the wind. I would also advise any backpackers, to take a wool blanket to set as a floor mat, then lay your sleeping pads on that, you will be much warmer and happier.

El artÃculo llegó muy rápido, incluso antes de la fecha estimada. La casa de campaña es de muy fácil armado y desarmado. La mala calificación se la lleva porque no cumple con lo prometido en cuanto a resistir la lluvia. Al poco menos de una hora de comenzar a llover comenzó a filtrarse agua por las costuras de las cuatro esquinas, los sleeping bags se mojaron y no pudimos dormir en ella. Creo que es un buen producto para clima seco. Lo que no es correcto es que mientan o exageren las caracterÃsticas de su producto, porque definitivamente no aguanta una lluvia de ningún tipo de intensidad.
My tent just arrived yesterday. I struggled on what to give this tent for a rating because I just got it. I was thinking about giving it a 3 for average which seemed fair to start with. But after seeing how it handled the wind without breaking or tearing, I decided to give it a 4 because it surpassed my expectations. I plan on using this tent quite a bit this summer so I will update my rating and review as I go. I found the assembly instructions to be very basic but adequate. Anyone who has put up a tent like this before will have no problem. It took me about 15 minutes. Anyway, I set my tent up in my back yard yesterday to see how it looked and how it took on the elements. My first test was wind. I have a weather station and the average wind speed was 7 to 8 mph with gusts up to 17 mph. The back of the tent was torward the wind and when the gusts would come, the back of the tent would bow it quite a bit. I have read the reviews some people have written and see some have had problems with the poles breaking. This is what I was afraid of as I watched the back of the tent bow in. I wish I had taken a picture because it was substantial. Anyway, the poles did not break and the tent returned to it’s original form when the gust passed every time. I have seen the video on Amazon of the testing process Coleman puts their tents through. Not sure how much wind this tent is rated for but I’m pretty sure 17 mph is close to it’s max. The tent looks to be made very well for the price I paid for it. There are only two guidelines that come off the rain fly on the sides of the tent. The tent is staked down on all four corners of the floor plus a floor vent in the back of the tent. In all, there are only 7 stake down points that I could see. I feel if the tent had some guidelines higher up on each of the four corners of the main body of the tent it could withstand more wind. The stakes are ok but bend fairly easily if the ground is too hard or you hit a rock when pounding them in. I will be buying some better ones before I go camping. I left the tent up over night and checked on it this morning. It held up very well and only one of the stakes for the rain fly guidelines had twisted in the ground causing the guideline to come loose. I left the tent up because it was going to rain today. I need to know if I have any leaks before I take it out camping. It has been raining lightly for two hours now and my weather station says I’m getting .05 inches of rain an hour with a light steady wind of 2 to 3 mph. Far from what I would consider a hard rain but it’s still rain. I went out and looked at just the outside and the water seems to be beading up and running off the rain fly and tent very well. It is supposed to rain until 9 or 10 o’clock tonight so I will check for water on the inside in the morning. I’m hoping not to see any with such a light rain. If there is, I will definitely be spraying the tent down with a waterproofing spray before I take it out camping. Now for the pro’s and con’s. Pro’s: 1). Great tent for the price. If your on a fixed budget or are looking for a good starter tent you will not beat this one. 2). Very roomy inside. I plan on using this for two people, a shepherd and, all our gear. 3) There is an eyelet at the top of the tent so you can attach a lantern and two side pockets for stowing smaller needed items like a headlamp, cell phone, keys and, so on. 4). There is a small zipper in the bottom front left side of the tent for running wires. See my picture. It is covered by a little yellow strip of material to protect the zipper from the rain. You do not see this feature on most tents. I plan on using it with my solar panel so I can charge my power core, headlamp, cell phone and, other gear from inside the tent out of direct sunlight. 5). I was surprised at how much give the tent had at 17 mph gusts and did not break any poles or tear. It bounced right back to it’s original form. Con’s: 1). You may want to consider buying stronger tent stakes. 2). I wish there was a high point on each of the four corners for attaching extra guidelines. Although it handled 17 mph gusts very well the tent did bow in quite a bit. If I had to guess, the tent was reduce by almost half it’s size. If I was inside the tent I know I would have been annoyed being hit by it every time a gust came. I really don’t feel the tent as is, could handle much more then that. I’m thinking about how to attach extra guidelines in the corners without effecting the structural stability and elasticity of the tent. Make sure you pitch this tent in a sheltered area out of the wind if your expecting bad weather.
Update 04/30/18 I went out the next morning after the light rain and the inside was dry. The following day saw more rain showers with substantially more rain. Checked the tent again today and it is still dry. After reading some of the reviews I really thought this tent would leak. Because this tent has preformed better then expected I have changed my rating to a five. I am going to seal the seams and spray waterproofing on the tent anyway because I would rather be safe then sorry. For the size and price of this tent you will not find a better deal. Just remember to pitch your tent in a sheltered area in you are expecting winds and you will not be disappointed. I think I have figured out a way to put up extra guidelines on each of the four corners so the tent will preform better with heavy gusts of wind. I will test it out and take pictures. More to come.
That is all for now and there will be more updates coming.

Esta casa para acampar me sorprendió bastante. Fui a acampar con unos amigos en las faldas de un cerro y el terreno no estaba plano, armamos la casa sin ningún problema en menos de 10 minutos. Después de dos horas empezó a llover y luego a granizar. Estuvo granizando por 1 hora continua y lloviendo por dos o 3 horas y la casa no tuvo ningún problema de infiltración ni de agujeros ni nada similar. Fue la primera vez que la utilicé y las condiciones fueron extremas y soportó muy bien. Las bolsas internas también fueron de mucha ayuda para guardar cosas, es espaciosa, por lo que 4 personas caben sin problema. Recomiendo ampliamente comprarla es una excelente relación calidad-precio

La compré de emergencia por $1600, lo cual se me hizo un muy buen precio. Tras leer varias reseñas, decidà que fuera para 4, a pesar de que sólo Ãbamos dos, y no me equivoqué. Es un buen espacio para 2 sleepings y las maletas a un lado.
Fue fácil de instalar.
No se veÃa de afuera hacia adentro, al menos no con una luz tenue. Y tampoco entraba mucha luz del exterior.
Creo recordar que es una casa para 3 estaciones, por lo que si no llevas un buen sleeping, podrÃas pasar frÃo. La usé en Léon, Gto en noviembre.
