Coleman 2-Person Dome Camping Tent

とても良い商品でした！
しかしフライシートの下のメッシュや下についているメッシュが完全に閉じられないのが残念でした。
室内は広々としていて2人で寝るには余裕の広さでした！

Good gosh folks! I bought this 2-man tent due to the low price and the high scoring reviews here at Amazon and the reviews are spot on. I had my eye on quite a few other tents at $125 to $250 but I have to say this one caught my eye early on because of the reviews. I said: “wtf? Order it and see how it performs and if it was all a big lie then I’m out a measly $38!”

NOTE: On the advice of lots of folks here I purchased a small 2 oz bottle of “Coleman Seam Sealer” (available here or at Wal-Mart). The day the tent arrived I set it up outside on my back deck and sealed all the seams and let it dry for about 4 hours before folding it back up and putting it away.

PROS: This tent is inexpensive, light weight, easy to erect, and does it’s job quite well. It assembles in about 3 to 5 minutes (if you’ve done it once or twice). The instructions are a perfect guide if you cannot remember the 3 easy steps.

CAMPING IN THE RAIN: So I went on my first camping trip with it this past weekend and I was caught in an off-and-on torrential downpour from 10 PM at night through 9 AM the next morning and guess what? I stayed completely dry and slept very well. I did forget to zip the small electrical cord opening shut for the first few hours and the sideways rain got a few drops in there until I realized it and zipped it tight. I left the vent windows open during the entire storm and had zero issues with water.

TIP: Be sure to bring a couple of large black trash bags to put the tent into if you have to break camp while it is still raining. That prevented a huge wet mess inside the car when I departed the camp site.

Time will tell if this is a durable product … but so far so good. LIKE!

After years of camping in a collective tent with my family (about 4-5) all crammed in once space, it was time to buy a smaller tent for myself and possibly a partner. Did my research, and living on a college budget, I knew I couldn’t afford to drop $300+ on a nice backpacking tent. At least not right away. However, I finally managed to put it through it’s paces this weekend, and I’ll admit, it’s a pretty decent product, with only a few cons.

First, the travel bag it comes in is not meant for backpacking. At all. This is standard Walmart-esk canvas bag that is heavy, cumbersome, and square. However I’ve had absolutely no problems getting the tent in and out of the bag. The tent isn’t an odd shape, and it rolls up really well. However, if you’re going to go backpacking, you’ll need to buy a separate bag.

Second, assembly is a dream! I could probably do it with my eyes closed if I had to. Two poles, same length, lightweight and pretty sturdy. Had no problems getting it set-up, in fact I had my partner set it up (with supervision) who had never set up a tent before. The only thing of note is that the rain tarp (or whatever you locally call it) has a pole that you slip in horizontally across the bow of the tent that can be tricky. More simply put, the pole extends from back to front with only a little velcro pouch to hold it in, thus it is easily missed the first time you try and set it up. Once you know where it is, it’s easy.

Third, the room. While my partner and I fit rather well with little to no effort in putting pads, blankets, and sleeping bags in, I will note that it was a tight fit. At least, our packs did not fit easily inside. In fact they pretty much didn’t, but it was slated to rain rather hard that night, so it was our only option. To be fair, we had an ungodly amount of padding and blankets we were laying on, and ultimately would probably had enough room for at least one pack if we hadn’t had so much padding (had to use old fashioned couch-like cushions at the time). Overall definitely roomy enough for one person and their gear+, but a tight fit for two grown adults and their gear.

Fourth, and possibly the most important but also easily fixable: It leaked. Not gratuitously, but enough to leave just a little water on the bottom of the pads. However, this was after a night of *very* heavy rainfall and wind. I was curious to see if the factory seal would be enough to make it waterproof, and I can’t say I’m surprised that it didn’t. However, I will be resealing it myself, which is easy enough for people to do. So don’t think too poorly of it’s water abilities.

Another note: it doesn’t come with a footprint, so I would invest in one. In fact, screw the traditional heavy canvas, and invest in some Tyvek 1443R Kitemaking Material. It’s SUPER lightweight (it’s kitemaking material), waterproof, and comes recommended by pretty much every backpacker out there. Worked like a charm, and it so thin and lightweight that it fits in the crappy square tent bag with everything else.

All in all, this is a damn good tent for the price, and you should probably buy it.

I bought one of these a few years ago, and I actually still have it. My buddy and I were planning a two-week trip out to South Dakota and Wyoming and Montana in the early weeks of May, 2022. He didn’t have a tent, and I wasn’t willing to take my tent (because I was worrying about snapping the tent poles and didn’t obtain a solution for the first night if that actually happened), so I suggested we both buy some and have them sent to a local Distribution Center in Rapid City, SD, for pickup. I had success with my first tent, and it’s still serving well, and it’s affordable and why not?

First off, I don’t do too much camping, so I’m still a little bit of a novice, but my buddy is totally green. Nonetheless, he had absolutely no problem figuring out how to set the thing up in about 10 or 15 minutes without even needing the instructions. While everything you need is within storage bag, I opted to go to Harbor Freight to buy more robust tent stakes, which proved to be extremely helpful with some of the weather that we had.

The storage bag is 100% sufficient with storing the tent, as long as you fold it up a little bit as opposed to just stuffing it in there like whatever. The bag is sturdy enough to carry everything. We also bought some waterproof tarps that were a little bit thick from Harbor freight, as we wanted to keep the tents as dry as possible. Completely satisfied with the amount of airflow, and while it did get down to the low 30s on some nights, having a good sleeping bag (and air pad) takes care of that and having the option to open and close the air vents that will definitely help maintain a decent temperature within the tent. I had no problems at all with the waterproofing of the tent.

We had three days where we experienced some rain. The first day, it rained for maybe 30 minutes at night, but the tents were dry in the morning after the sun came out for a little bit and everything dried rather quickly. The last day we also had a bit of rain, so we had to set the tents up before we pack them up for the final time just to let them dry off, but they dried super, super quick. There was one day where there was a torrential downpour that lasted about 2 hours and was absolutely frightening. The wind was ripping super hard, hail was coming down, and I could hear the tent getting pelted like mad by rain. Overall, I was extremely frightened by the lightning, and wondering what I was going to do if the tent came down because it was shaking pretty hard. Well, other than the outside of the tent being wet and being dealt with in the morning, absolutely nothing came inside or happened in any way to damage the tent. My buddy even didn’t know that he was supposed to attach the tent to the tent poles with some clips, yet his tent held up. I definitely gained a bit more confidence in the tent after that downpour, I would never even want to be in the car with what was happening. The second photo is the morning after the downpoor.

I love the storage pockets, and the hook inside to hang my light, as well as the small inlet for a power cord. I was about as comfortable as I could possibly be. Set up and breakdown is super, super easy. It takes maybe 15 minutes at most with one person, and about 5 minutes with two people. The two-person tent fits one person comfortably with a backpack or something inside. It’s quite small, and if you were to use two people in a two-person tent, it would just be you and one other person sleeping next to each other with absolutely no room for anything at all inside. Now, I have two of these tents after I brought the second one home, but I am not complaining at all. I did look at a few other tents before buying this second one and having it shipped, but I know that I was not going to do as well as I would have with this tent. Definitely worth a second purchase, in my opinion!
