Title: DO NOT BUY THE 8 OR 10 PERSON TENTS!!
Review: UPDATE 6-person tent on the beach:I took the 6-person tent camping on the beach. Over-all it held up really well. I got it up in under two minutes. Then the wind kicked up. I would recommend that if the wind is over 10-15mph, don't go. I had to anchor all of the corners and use the tether lines with heavy duty tent stakes (I purchased separately) to keep it anchored to the ground. When trying to take it down, I recommend closing the door and leaving the windows half-way up just to release the inner air. I tried it first with the door and windows all of the way open and the tent kept blowing up like a balloon which kept causing the legs to reextend. It was nearly impossible to take down. I had to really struggle to try and get it to collapse. I never had this problem with my traditional tent where I could just remove the poles. With no wind, I would say it is perfect.UPDATE 6 - Person Tent: I replaced the 8-person tent I had to throw away with the 6-person version. OMG - SO MUCH EASIER!! I was able to get it up by myself in around 1 minute and take down - back in the bag within 2 minutes! I went through the whole process twice just to make sure! The tent fabric is thick and feels very durable. The floor is the thickest I have ever seen on a tent.... It's like a heavy duty tarp. So far I am really impressed! I changed my overall rating from 1 star for the 8-person to 5 stars for the 6-person! I will write another update after I take it to the beach in a couple of weeks and see how it holds up there.ORIGINAL PURCHASE 8 - Person tent:I have been camping for over 40 years. I selected this tent because it advertises as "instant-tent with 60-second easy assembly." So much better than the hassle of dealing with multiple poles... right?The 8-person tent has 6 legs; one in each corner and one on each side where there is no door. It was like trying to wrestle an angry octopus - seriously!! It requires a bare minimum of 2 people (and four people would be better) to set it up. You have to raise all of the poles at the same time or it will just keep collapsing in different directions. It took us over half an hour of struggling to get it up. I was exhausted and sweaty at the end.One of the poles bent the first time the tent was up (not sure how, it wasn't manhandled and no wind or anything) and it will no longer contract or expand. And the fabric was thin and saggy... as well as the floor. I don't think it would hold-up in the wind or rain at all.Taking it down was just as difficult as setting it up (or more so) because the poles kept collapsing every which way. You can't take them all down at the same time unless you have 6 people. So we had to figure out how to manually fold and realign the legs from the big tangled pile on the ground in order to get the tent to fold back up for transport.I bought this tent because it was supposed to be easy!! Maybe the 4 or 6-person tent that only has the 4 corner poles would be much easier to manage; but this 6-pole 8-person model is a nightmare! I threw it away. I could have tried to return it for the refund but with the bent pole that would no longer contract, I couldn't get it back in the box! UGH!!!!!!

Reviewer: I ordered these boots for part of a renaissance costume. I needed something that was well made looked older and comfortable. These boots hit all the marks. I typically wear close to a 8 Mens in most of my shoe sizes so I ordered 1/2 size up 8 1/2 and it’s a perfect fit.

Title: A good quality tent at an low rate.
Review: I bought this product because I needed a tent to camp in at burning man. I needed something that would keep the playa dust out. That would stand up in the wind and was affordable when I did not have much of a budget. This tent is fully sealed. It’s easy to set up. It’s sturdy against the high winds. I was able to camp in it and let minimal dust from the desert enter. It was spacious enough to put a cot in it, a couple totes to store food, clothing, water. I layered the inside with a canvas drop cloth to help protect the floor. All around I was really satisfied with this tent. It made it through and has held up well. Also I think it will last as it is well made.

Title: AMAZING WARRANTY. Larger than the 6-person, and read about our WINDY TRIP!
Review: WARRANTY UPDATE: I have to add to the observations below that Coleman's warranty department is amazing to work with. They took back the 6-person tent we found to be too small on our first trip, just because I felt that the 6-person description was misleading, no questions asked. NEXT, after the pin failed (see below) in wind, they're replacing it, no questions asked. The Amazon Prime window had closed by a month. The proper way to submit a warranty issue is on their website under WARRANTY. You simply save your receipt from here in PDF (or scan a print), write the date & "WEB" on the product, take a couple of pictures, and that's IT. They answered my inquiry in less than 24 hours. I'll stick with a company that stands behind their product - which in this case is a GREAT tent - this well.WIND UPDATE: ours collapsed but still 5-stars! It held out until we were taking it down. On our first Tiger Scout trip with this sustained winds were 10 to 14 mph but gusts might have hit 30 mph for two nights. Our packs' tents include various Colemans and direct "instant tent" competitors from Amazon and Walmart, but also some more expensive dome tents. Two or three failed equally, so no favor to the more expensive options.Although a pin failed when we were taking the tent down it held through two nights of winds from all directions off of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico (at Florida Keys Camp Sawyer). If you look at the knuckle under the fabric on the frame you'll see they're plastic-reinforced tips through the metal rods, secured with a metal pin - the pin broke eventually, not the plastic or the rod, so I'd consider it pretty good construction for a "cheap" tent. At times the tent was pressed down on top of us, almost flattened. Although it rained HARD we were completely dry except for one side-seam that dripped only enough to soak up with a face wash cloth (not much!). The two doors were GREAT because we could use the "downwind" side rather than the "wet" side.I hope never to camp in another situation like this (probably motel camp), but learned a few things to pass on if wind is expected. (1) most important is to guy-line out farther than expected and will bring some glow sticks to help keep people away from them. Make them long - short guy-lines are not effective in wind. (2) forget the stakes that come with your tent - buy the strongest you can find (foot-long nail/spikes from Home Depot) and bring a hammer, not a rubber mallet. You may never need them but they're essential in the event of wind and will reach deeper in wet earth.I could have easily fixed the pin but before realizing how easy it would be we trashed the tent - the rods were bent a little and so I just hammered them down into one another. So, we'll be buying another of these. The only change I'm going to make is to buy more of the beefy spikes (they held very well), something to glow on the guy-lines, and a chord long enough to tie around the top of the rods to help keep them from flexing all around in high wind (thinking that maybe the chord will take some of the pressure off of the joints).Even though ours failed we were safe, dry and very comfortable until it was time to go. Love this tent!ORIGINAL REVIEW: My video is actually for the disc-o-cot but shows the tent wide open. Also, I say "eight people" can sleep on two side by side but obviously I mean four with more up front. Other reviews hit all the high points about 1 minute setip, quality and dryness. This is a great tent. The OPTIONAL fly is essential for ventilation if there's any chance of rain but the tent stays dry inside without it. It rained two days without any leaks at all even though one of the front doors was not completely zipped at the floor.I strongly recommend this rather than the 6 person version because the price, weight and ease of setup are comparable for the luxury of the extra room.We have been using the 6-person version for our family of three but even with a disd-o-bunk bed found it tight because we all like to sleep off the floor and cots take space. Don't even consider more than five in this tent even without cots, unless the kids are still very small, of course.By the way, the disc-o-cot hits a 9 foot wall because of the slope so the 6 person tent isn't optimal. Even though you're probably not using bunk beds now, the extra foot is nice.In addition to the giant 14 foot side walls this one has two 10 foot ends, each with a door. The extra door and one foot more than the 9 feet in the six person allows us to leave 2+ foot isle between cots, each of which is 30+ inches (we're car camping after all). There is a ton of extra space left over up font for a adult, two small kids chairs or all of your gear.Camping with cub scouts can be a real challenge especially when they're still bobcats, and a luxurious tent with a good night's sleep makes a huge difference! This is why I suggest this tent for even three.

Title:
Review: Zelt ist super einfach auf-und abzubauen, was ich nicht verstehe ist, was sich die Entwickler dabei gedacht haben, die Fliegengitter allesamt außerhalb zu "montieren". Wie soll man da die Vogelsch..... sauber wegbekommen ohne das ein Rest sich irgendwo noch hält. Da wo die 3 Reißverschlüsse bei der doppelten Türe zusammen kommen, können die sich auch noch was überlegen, da bei Regen eine große Pfütze im Innenraum war

Customers say

Customers like the ease of setup, room size, and quality of the outdoor recreation product. They mention it's easy to work with, big enough for two twin blowup beds, and well-thought-out. Some also like the speed. However, some dislike leakage and disagree on the build quality, water resistance, and value for money.
