About Coleman
The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.

Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.
Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.
For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.
Domes and Tunnels
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.
Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.
Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

Dome Tent,
By Old Camper (Baldwinsville, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coleman Sundome 6 Tent (Sports)
We found the screens to be an advantage. The tent is very well ventilated. The dome cover kept out rain and night dew but the tent did not get steamy or stuffy when full of sleeping campers. We found the screen on top to be an adavantage, because of privacy we don't and I don't
know of anyone that sleeps with the tent windows open at night. This did well in the rain no wet spots. Coleman has a floor that wraps up several inches to meet the tent fabric. Huge advantage! We have never had a water problem with any Coleman tent made in this fashion.

Great product...So So Customer Service.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Coleman Sundome 6 Tent (Sports)
Product was received in timeframe it was susposed to. Love the tent but it had nothing to stake it down with or to attacth the pole to on the front right corner, which was a loop that was totally different from all the other corners. After e-mailing Coleman's customer service, they finally sent me a piece to put on the odd corner stating that they did not have a replacement tent for me. Nowhere on the site did it say that I was purchasing a second. I felt this is what I got. Actually a third. I felt like I should have been able to return the defective tent to Coleman and they send me a new one that was not defective. I am stuck with the odd cornered one. Otherwise the tent is great.

Great basic starter tent,
This review is from: Coleman Sundome 6 Tent (Sports)
We bought this tent for our family of 4. I've had the 3 person version of this tent for 15 years nd it worked great the couple dozen times I used it. There was great debate about this type of a tent or a more expensive tent. We just wanted to see how our 3 and 5 year old would like camping without a major investment. Couple things I noted about the tent:
It's huge. I always want at least 1 more 'person' on my tent rating than I have in my party to allow for gear (so a minimum 5 person tent for 4 people). It really needs 2 people to set up. I set it up the first time with my 3 year old, but someone on the other end of the poles, which are crazy long. It doesn't take long to set up. There are 2 doors, but the windows only zip down to about 1/2 way, so you have solid fabric all the way around the tent up to about 3 feet tall. The other windows are literately the entire side of the tent from the 3 foot high mark all the way up. They don't have any zipper or other way to seal, so I wouldn't really call this a 3 season tent as I don't like the cold. There is a little 'outlet plug' zipper if you wanted to run elecrticity to your tent, but I just can't understand why someone would. There is also a tiny door that my 3 and 5 year old loved to climb through, almost like a pet door. It even had a separate screen section to it just like the regular doors. There are 2 small pouches in the huge tent. We have only used the tent once, being the end of the season, so didn't use the privacy screen. It was the only part of the whole tent that 'smelled' when I pulled it out of the packaging, but I didn't really need. There are 2 little plastic doormats for each door. Small, but nice--we used only 1 door, and kept them at that end. On the Coleman tents, I like that the waterproof base extends up about 6-8 inches, but we always use a groundcloth. The tent poles only slide through fabric at the very top of the tent, probably 4 feet total of fabric, at the bottom part they are held in place by plastic clips. When you first have all 4 poles up and locked into place it seems like something is wrong with assembly, but once you lock the poles into the clips it's fine. I'd never used this large of a tent before, so that was all something to get used to. Not sure how long the clips will last, wish it had stings to tie to the poles in addition. If we use this 3-5 times/year I expect it to last us 3-5 years, max. The seams don't seem overly strong and look like they would rip easily. Maybe they are reinforced in a way I can't see, as my other Coleman has lasted 15 years. However, not knowing how our kids will like camping once the conditions are less than ideal (rain, bugs, etc.), I feel good having bought this as a test run and if we become regular campers will be willing to invest in a higher quality tent when this wears out. THis tent fits our needs at this poitn: easy assembly, good pricepoint, and large enough so that everyone has plenty of room.
