CUSTOMER REVIEW

review

Overall, this is a nice tent.



PROS:

Expected Coleman quality construction.

The Zippers are nice, smooth, no snags, and water tight.

The tent is light, easy to pack, easy to set up, even in the dark.

The tent has a lot of ventilation to avoid internal condensation.

Fits a queen size air mattress with some room for shoes, gear, and backpacks.

Great price, good value. I'll be using this tent for several years hopefully.



CONS:

This tent leaks at the seam where the floor meets the sides. It rained for 10 hours the second time we used it, 1.5 inches of rain. Everything near the sides of the tent was soaked. I could see the water seeping through the seams.

You must seam seal this tent before using it in the rain. The rain-fly worked fine, and we stayed dry enough to survive the night. I bought some seam sealer and will be sealing this tent for our upcoming camping trip.

It's airy. It was in the low 50's the night it rained and it took some effort to stay warm and dry.

There is no built in way to cover the large mesh vents under the rain fly. The large air vents are good for reducing condensation, but does not hold in much heat. I am thinking about making some Velcro attachable vent covers to hold in some heat and stay a little warmer if needed.



I would recommend this tent for camping where it doesn't get very chilly. Make sure you seam seal it (I think this is recommended for any tent) and bring a warm sleeping bag or extra blankets in case it gets cold.



Update: 2012 Camping Season

No more leaking problems since I seam sealed it with Seam Grip. It has endured several thunderstorms with no problems. The tent is holding up well... I did have to sew up a seam on the stuff sack though.



On our first camping outing this season, the temperature got into the upper 20's. To keep in heat, I laid a fleece blanket over the top under the rain fly to block the vents and keep in heat. It worked great! We stayed warm! This tent has proven to be a great deal for the price.
