Coleman Skylodge Instant Assemble Camping Tent, 4/6/8/10/12 Person Weatherproof Family Tent with Pre-Assembled Poles, Convertible Screen Room and Room Divider, Set Up in About 1 Minute

Lovely tent for summer weather. Very easy to put up even for me, late 60s with arthritis in hands and legs. Lots of ventilation, no condensation whatsoever. However, I am camping in April and the weather gets a bit chilly at night. The roof of the main tent is made up of 4 panels of mesh, great to let the heat out but it lets the cold in even with the fly sheet. If it's windy there is a constant draught downwards. I am lucky in that I have a very good heater. Would recommend for warmer weather ,but not for cold spells.

These Coleman tents offer a more sturdy design and weather readiness that department store brands skimp on, hence the higher cost. For instance the power cord port has a zipper instead of a velcro slot that never stays closed. I find the Coleman to be more wind resistant, while still offering good ventilation. The setup is speedy, allowing for more time to setup the perfect temporary living space, and the breakdown is just as easy with some gentle care to brush of any dirt before before wrapping it up. The bag is also superior compared to other brands we've owned and makes for an easy wrapping of the tent rather than trying to stuff it into a bag. More expensive but may be worth it in the long run for the added quality. We purchased an even larger model as well.

Ho comprato la versione da 6 posti, in realtà entra comodamente il materasso gonfiabile matrimoniali (quello alto) e resta spazio sufficiente per almeno una terza persona (per noi il cagnolino e la sua cuccia!!). Montare questa tenda e’ veramente un gioco da ragazzi: la prima volta e senza particolare esperienza da campeggiatore in soli 10minuti!! E’ sufficiente alzare i quattro bracci telescopici e la tenda va su! Anche la collocazione del tendalino superiore e’ semplicissima, veloce ed intuitiva. I picchetti da piantare sono soltanto 8, quattro per gli angoli e altri quattro per i tiranti.Consiglio - ma vale per tutte le tende. - di comprare dei picchetti per terreno duro perché quelli di serie non sono adeguati e si piegano. Anche lo smontaggio ancora più rapido! La borsa apribile agevola la conservazione della tenda che peraltro rimane pulita richiudendosi su se’ stessa. All’interno è molto ben areata (dispone di due comodi ampi ingressi su due lati opposti e di due finestre) ed è corredata da zanzariere ovunque. Le cerniere sono di ottima fattura e le cuciture hanno un rinforzo plastico che mette al riparo da infiltrazioni in caso di pioggia. Ho avuto la fortuna di utilizzarla senza pioggia e con una notte (sono siciliano) autunnale molto mite (13-14 gradi) ma umida. L’isolamento mi è sembrato ottimo . L’altezza della tenda (1.90 circa) consente di cambiarsi i piedi agevolmente. Varie tasche interne per riporre oggetti ed una piccola fessura con cerniera per eventuale passaggio dell’alimentazione completano l’ottima fattura. Pur non avendola provata in condizioni di pioggia o di vento forte, mi sento di promuovere a pieni voti questa tenda che lascia molto più tempo da dedicare alla vostra vacanza!!!! A parte i picchetti di serie che sono inutilizzabili per terreni semi duri una tenda all’altezza del marchio!

The Coleman Skylodge Instant Tent's promise of a quick and easy setup was overshadowed by its poorly constructed support poles. One snapped in half during assembly and the poles' tendency to get stuck while telescoping only added to the frustration. Barely getting the structure to stand, I managed to make it work for one day, until it completed failed the next day. This situation left me stranded in the woods without shelter for two days. Adding insult to injury, a massive rainstorm completely soaked all my camping gear, which was stored inside. This tent's unreliability turned a camping trip into a disaster. Not recommended.

I can not wait to use this tent this season. It was so easy to put together and I love that the directions are printed right on the bag. The only downside is that it is rather bulky to store and can not store upright, I find that is has to lay down.

UPDATED REVIEW: From my former review youll see i was initially OK with this product. However, after taking it down and folding it up 4 times with no issues, on the 5th time folding it up one of the corners tore out on the floor. It wasn't because I didn't know what I was doing as I had folded it previously without problems. This is the second coleman tent to fall apart after just a few uses in the same year. No more coleman for me! Overall I love this tent. It is big enough for myself, 2 dogs, and all the stuff. Super simple to set up as well. Do check the instructions to make it easier on yourself. Now for the disappointment. This is the first time I have used the tent in the rain. 90% dry. Yay. However, the side seams do leak a little and every once in a while I get a drip from above. I can only assume there is a seam letting through a few drops in the rain fly as well. Overall I am happy. The dogs have plenty of room to stretch out so that's a plus. I would purchase this again if I was looking for another.
