Title: So far so good!!! Still rating this tent.
Review: 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 04/30/18I 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.

Title: Great Tents, Well Priced
Review: I have had the 4p version of this tent for a while and I decided to downsize and buy a couple more 2p tents. I have a family of 6. So with x2 2p tents and one 4p tent, we can flex based on who is camping: with all 4 kids, we can have a 2p for adults and a 4p for the kids to share (or a 2p for the boys, a 2p for the girls, and a 4p for mom and dad, if we want to go a bit heavier on gear). With an adult and two kids, we can use two 2p tents. The 4p tent is pretty big- plenty of room for queen mattress + space to move around in and store gear. But, I found it too big for when I go camping by myself + my two boys. I'd like to be in my own tent and for the boys to share a tent, so the 4p was just too much for the two young boys. I haven't yet put a queen mattress in the 2p tent (supposedly it can fit), but I imagine it's a tight fit.The tents themselves are easy to setup and do well in rainy weather. One thing I like is that they stand alone without having to be staked in, so it can be setup and then moved into position. The fly can be attached to the tent without stakes, but it does require staking down on the sides to ensure water sheds off. The 2p tent is basically just a miniature version of the 4p, but it is a little easier to setup just due to being smaller. The 2p is a lot easier to setup by yourself. The 2p is about 2.5 lbs (24%) lighter than the 4p, but the package isn't all that much smaller. If you're car camping, the packed weight and size difference is minor. The ease of setup and flexibility of having more tents you can add/remove are the primary benefits of having the 2p tents in my case.I previously used a small one-man tent for when camping by myself. Although it was lightweight, I found it very uncomfortable, not very water resistant, and it took even longer to setup. The Sundome 2p is a big upgrade and I think the extra weight is worth the added comfort and ease of setup. I've used Marine Corps 2-man combat tents before. Those tents are definitely more heavy duty than the Coleman's (and priced several times more) and are heavier as a result. But for most purposes, the Coleman should be fine.Here's a weight comparison of the tents. I always use a tarp under my tents, so I included that weight.-1-man tent (Guide Gear brand): 6.5 lbs w/ tarp-Sundome 2p tent: 8 lbs w/ tarp-USMC 2-man Combat Tent: 10lbs w/ tarp-Sundome 4p tent: 10.5lbs w/ tarp

Title: Super easy
Review: My fiancé and I put it up within 10 minutes. Very spacious, love the green color. Love that it has a hook at the top of the tent on the inside for a lantern/fan. The storage bag has a piece that you can rip off, making the bag extend so you can put everything away easier. Very satisfied and it seems like it will last.

Title: Decent tent for two people
Review: As with most tents, this one claims to fit way more people than any American would agree with. I’m 6’2” and my adult kids are 6’1” and 5’11”. Technically we can all three lay in the tent without touching as long as no one moves, but it’s not comfortable. For one person and a large dog, or for two adults it’s not bad.The tent itself was very easy to set up, it has a good amount of ventilation which means no condensation, and the zippers worked well during 5 days camping. We never got rain so I cannot attest to how well it does in rain, although it seems like it would be ok as long as it wasn’t blowing too hard. The rain fly does well at covering the netted sections but I can’t say how well the zippers window zippers would do in the wet. It has large sections of open net/screen so it did nothing to hold in heat at night; the hat also helped it be more comfortable by day, though.No tears or other damage so far. Obviously it’s nearly impossible to get a tent back into its carrying sack, but they did make this one bigger than average and two of us together managed to pack it in.In my opinion this is a decent cheap tent for two people and maybe two very small kids or a dog. It’s not heavy duty. It is not particularly fancy. It does the job and is easy to set up/break down. If I were getting another tent I would choose something a bit larger, but that is very specifically because all of us are tall and I’d like more space to stretch out.

Review: Es muy fácil de armar y desarmar, en 10 minutos o menos tienen tu casa de campaña armada y lo mismo para desarmar. Los cierres funcionan perfectamente, no hay uniones descocidas, es muy firme, si es impermeable y en general cumple con su función. Caben dos adultos a la perfección e incluso me atrevo a decir que una tercera persona de mediana estatura puede entrar.
