   For the price point you are doing well with this purchase. Tent is 9ft x 7ft and has more space than an average 4-person tent. From my pictures you can see that there is a queen size 20″ thick air mattress in there. I’m 6′ 3″ and I still have 2ft over my head when sitting on the mattress and plenty of space around it on the floor for items and the ground air vent. Very comfortable for 2 people to sleep and store backpacks, shoes and even a cooler. This is not a backpacking tent but one from the car at a drive in campsite. It weight about 15lbs with everything in the carry case. It sets up fairly quick and easy, even if doing solo. The poles are all attached together via flexible twine so you can loose them separately or have to worry about how they install. They assemble quick and you loop them through the tent in an X pattern and pop them into place, easy and efficient and only took about 20 minutes the first time by myself, with the rain fly. This also includes placing a separately purchased footprint underneath as well. **Remember how the tent unfolds from the package when you set it up! This is the best manner to refold in if you want everything to fit into the carry case it comes with easily. It’s not difficult but have the patience to do it right and it will fit with ease every time. There are separate mini bags for the stakes and the poles and if done right I can pack my footprint bag in the carry case as well. Make sure to tear the label off the bottom of the carry case so that it can expand in size as well. Tent is made from nylon and the poles are fiberglass with aluminum connectors. 1500nm on the water resistance, yea well what does that mean right? I set the tent up in the backyard, closed it up and let it sit in the morning rain and wind for a few hours. afterwards when went into the tent and there wasn’t a drop of water on the inside. The next night I slept in it with the vents open and did not have a condensation or a venting problem problem. Air flowed through the tent nicely even with the rain fly attached. The bottom of the tent comes up about 5 inches off the ground and creates a small boat effect so when caught in a decent rain with running water around will still prevent water from seeping into your tent. Just remember to point the narrow side of the tent into the wind if possible to mitigate wind loads. There are 2 mesh pockets at the head and foot areas to place cell phone, wallet, keys, ect… and a small hook up top where you can hang a light\lamp. Also a cool feature that allows you to run an electrical cord through the window in the bottom corner of the tent, see pictures. Very cool feature as I have to run a cord from the power inverter in my car to inflate the air mattress. It zips up around the cord, water proof like so no leaks in the rain.

   I setup this tent as a quick test run for car camping, and it’s compact and lightweight. This is definitely NOT going to fit 2 people comfortably. I’m 5’1” and can lay longways with a little extra space at my head and feet. Next to me is about 1.5-2ft of spare room maximum. Enough for a suitcase or duffel bag. It’s a 1 person tent. The poles do feel a bit flimsy, like they will easily break if pushed too hard or bent too much. So use caution. My biggest complaint is the air vents are tiny, including the windows. If the zipper went the additional 4”, I would be happy with it, but it’s like the windows open 2/3rd the way; which is annoying. I think it’ll be a good car camping starter tent, but candidly; for more room for a single person; I would do a 3 person tent. It’ll probably be the right balance of space; especially if it rains and having a little “mud” space near the door.

   My tent just arrived yesterday. I struggled on what to give this tent for a rating because I just got it. I was thinking about giving it a 3 for average which seemed fair to start with. But after seeing how it handled the wind without breaking or tearing, I decided to give it a 4 because it surpassed my expectations. I plan on using this tent quite a bit this summer so I will update my rating and review as I go. I found the assembly instructions to be very basic but adequate. Anyone who has put up a tent like this before will have no problem. It took me about 15 minutes. Anyway, I set my tent up in my back yard yesterday to see how it looked and how it took on the elements. My first test was wind. I have a weather station and the average wind speed was 7 to 8 mph with gusts up to 17 mph. The back of the tent was torward the wind and when the gusts would come, the back of the tent would bow it quite a bit. I have read the reviews some people have written and see some have had problems with the poles breaking. This is what I was afraid of as I watched the back of the tent bow in. I wish I had taken a picture because it was substantial. Anyway, the poles did not break and the tent returned to it’s original form when the gust passed every time. I have seen the video on colemandiscount.com of the testing process Coleman puts their tents through. Not sure how much wind this tent is rated for but I’m pretty sure 17 mph is close to it’s max. The tent looks to be made very well for the price I paid for it. There are only two guidelines that come off the rain fly on the sides of the tent. The tent is staked down on all four corners of the floor plus a floor vent in the back of the tent. In all, there are only 7 stake down points that I could see. I feel if the tent had some guidelines higher up on each of the four corners of the main body of the tent it could withstand more wind. The stakes are ok but bend fairly easily if the ground is too hard or you hit a rock when pounding them in. I will be buying some better ones before I go camping. I left the tent up over night and checked on it this morning. It held up very well and only one of the stakes for the rain fly guidelines had twisted in the ground causing the guideline to come loose. I left the tent up because it was going to rain today. I need to know if I have any leaks before I take it out camping. It has been raining lightly for two hours now and my weather station says I’m getting .05 inches of rain an hour with a light steady wind of 2 to 3 mph. Far from what I would consider a hard rain but it’s still rain. I went out and looked at just the outside and the water seems to be beading up and running off the rain fly and tent very well. It is supposed to rain until 9 or 10 o’clock tonight so I will check for water on the inside in the morning. I’m hoping not to see any with such a light rain. If there is, I will definitely be spraying the tent down with a waterproofing spray before I take it out camping. Now for the pro’s and con’s. Pro’s: 1). Great tent for the price. If your on a fixed budget or are looking for a good starter tent you will not beat this one. 2). Very roomy inside. I plan on using this for two people, a shepherd and, all our gear. 3) There is an eyelet at the top of the tent so you can attach a lantern and two side pockets for stowing smaller needed items like a headlamp, cell phone, keys and, so on. 4). There is a small zipper in the bottom front left side of the tent for running wires. See my picture. It is covered by a little yellow strip of material to protect the zipper from the rain. You do not see this feature on most tents. I plan on using it with my solar panel so I can charge my power core, headlamp, cell phone and, other gear from inside the tent out of direct sunlight. 5). I was surprised at how much give the tent had at 17 mph gusts and did not break any poles or tear. It bounced right back to it’s original form. Con’s: 1). You may want to consider buying stronger tent stakes. 2). I wish there was a high point on each of the four corners for attaching extra guidelines. Although it handled 17 mph gusts very well the tent did bow in quite a bit. If I had to guess, the tent was reduce by almost half it’s size. If I was inside the tent I know I would have been annoyed being hit by it every time a gust came. I really don’t feel the tent as is, could handle much more then that. I’m thinking about how to attach extra guidelines in the corners without effecting the structural stability and elasticity of the tent. Make sure you pitch this tent in a sheltered area out of the wind if your expecting bad weather. Update 04/30/18 I went out the next morning after the light rain and the inside was dry. The following day saw more rain showers with substantially more rain. Checked the tent again today and it is still dry. After reading some of the reviews I really thought this tent would leak. Because this tent has preformed better then expected I have changed my rating to a five. I am going to seal the seams and spray waterproofing on the tent anyway because I would rather be safe then sorry. For the size and price of this tent you will not find a better deal. Just remember to pitch your tent in a sheltered area in you are expecting winds and you will not be disappointed. I think I have figured out a way to put up extra guidelines on each of the four corners so the tent will preform better with heavy gusts of wind. I will test it out and take pictures. More to come. That is all for now and there will be more updates coming.

   Campade för första gången i det i två dagar och det regnade nästan hela tiden. Inte en vattendroppe i tältet, tältet höll tätt, klarade lätt vind också. Är en person i detta stora tält så det kändes som att bo i ett palats. Lite svårt att sätta upp om man är en person med det går om man har tålamod. Det enda jag kan anmärka på är att jag fick klippa av en liten bit tråd som visas på bilden men det sänker inte mitt betyg. Mycket bra tält för pengarna.
