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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sundome Tent, July 8, 2007

By	Paula B. Bruce (West Dundee, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This tent was relatively easy to set up. However, you must have the rain cover (dome) on at all times if you would like to have any privacy because there are NO window coverings! The windows are simply screens and the rain cover allows you some privacy.
When we went camping it (of course) rained, and everything stayed nice and dry for the most part, until the wind changed direction and it was able to blow in the windows, despite the dome covering.
If you live in an area with no rain and privacy is not an issue, then this is the tent for you! I happen to have it set up in my backyard for my kids to sleep in it throughout the summer, and they love it, but as for camping, I am going to get a tent that offers much more privacy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dome Tent, July 18, 2007

By	Old Camper (Baldwinsville, NY United States) - See all my reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, May 17, 2009

By	Paula (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

We purchased this tent from a different vendor (only because we needed the tent right away and couldn't wait for shipping), but I know I LOVE Amazon's reviews when I am looking to purchase a new product so I thought I would review this item. The light system is a neat idea and my kids loved the remote control to turn the lights off and on. We had light rain when camping and there were no leaks but I have to tell you, I was quite nervous with the wide open screened area and the rain fly barely covering it. I wouldn't trust the tent in a bigger storm, especially if there was wind. The very first time setting up the tent as a test run before our camping weekend, the seam on the rain fly ripped some where the guy lines attach. I didn't think I had the tension too tight either. We went on a two nighter weekend campout and upon taking the tent down noticed that one of the corded poles for the rain fly had snapped at the nylon cord. I checked out the cords on the tent frame too then and saw two areas that were just hanging on by a thread and about to break too. I wouldn't trust this tent on another outing. While the tent wasn't very expensive to start with, I surely expected more than one use out of it! Off to contact Coleman for a refund.
