Coleman Sundome 4 Person Tent Review
The Coleman Sundome 4 Person Tent is an affordable option with great value for money. While it doesn’t suit all conditions and camping styles, it gets the basics right.
Set up couldn’t be more simple or straight forward and will easily be fully pitched within 5 to 10 minutes. Unfold the 68D Polyester tent and flys cover, extend the frame poles which then clip into the corners of the tent. Attach the remaining clips on the tent to the poles as you extend it up and then peg the tent to the ground. Done!
Once the main tent is set up you have the option of attaching the half flysheet which will provide additional weather protection and have a minimal impact on ventilation. The tent and half fly screen will give you great protection from moderate rain, however rain with strong winds will put the breezy design to the test.
Speaking of ventilation, the tent has a single entrance with a large rear window making it perfect for warmer weather.
Despite having a 149cm high domed roof, the floor plan is rectangular and will fit a queen size bed. Advertised as having capacity for 4 people, it will get quite warm in more tropical camping conditions with 4 people sleeping in it at once. The addition of the internal pockets at both sides of the tent is a convenience that is quickly becoming the norm, but is always a welcome addition to keep valuables and electronics off the floor and away from dust and sand.
Pros
