Only used 2x----zipper got caught liner insulation on top----and ripped a hole in the liner. Good idea---nice insulation---but poor design---need to isolate the puffy liner from the zipper track.

This product clearly shows a floor and even has a picture saying "REMOVABLE FLOOR for extra protection and comfort". This is NOT the case! there is no floor which is exactly what I was looking for. I had picked up a different one last year without a floor and wanted something which actually keeps bugs out. Very disappointed. However, that said, it's a quality product and has flaps which reach the ground. So, you can make it bug proof which is better than I can say about my earlier purchase. Still, not happy about the missing floor feature.

The pictures are taken while drying it out from a weekend of camping. I got this for just myself to have more room to move about on BSA camping trips (a leader not a scout). I did take one picture of my setup inside during the trip. I had my sleeping bag, chair and tote all in the sleeping chambers and used the vestibule just as an entrance to collect dirt and such. Plenty of space I wasn't touching any of the sides nor were any of my belongings. I put the sleeping bag in the front to show that you can fit a person there as stated just make sure it's the smallest person. I was able to hang my fan/ light from a hook in the middle. I found there to plenty of net storage space. There's a net by the door so you can tuck the door in there when you have the 2 sides open or can be used for other storage. It was an 80 degree day and it still got warm and stuffy in there but I would say it probably would have been worse without the dark room. The dark room saved me, out of no where I was hit with a migraine and I was able to lay down in the middle of the day and be surrounded in darkness. It was a blessing so if you suffer from migraines get this tent just for that! You can see from pictures how bright it was outside and how dark it was inside. All the "windows" are covered up so if you want air circulation you will have to open the porch screens and keep your door open. I found I liked it just fine with no windows open and my battery fan circulating air. My only concern is that the poles are attached on the sides and I'm worried they will eventually wear down the sides of the tent they touch after repeated use of rolling the tent back up to store. I was able to set this up by myself with no problems.

Neighbors on one side of our house smoke cigarettes, and on the other side they smoke marijuana, so we often get stinks no matter which way the breeze is blowing. I got this candle hoping the promised "pleasant citronella scent" would be strong enough to offset one odor or the other and even wafting the smoke into my face I didn't register much. (And I don't have covid, and I did test my nose on some peppermint oil, which it detected quite well.) My wife, on the other hand, walked over, took a whiff and said, "Whoa, that's strong!" So your family experience may vary.

AMAZING!

Overall it's a great mat that adds a nice cooling effect for your pet. The size worked great for our pug! He enjoys it very much, since it's easy to use anywhere for us. Also easy to clean as well. That being said, the cooling effect doesn't seem to last the full 3.5 hours but still last for a good amount of time before letting it recharge.

Works very well for the Colman NorthStar and don't have to worry about the glass breaking when going on trips.

This tent well constructed (fabric/stitching/mesh/flooring) and offers various method of ventilation to keep the inside comfortable. It is good size and could sleep four adults in mummy bags with all non-essential gear out. Without the rainfly it's primarily mesh all around the four sides. One unique feature is the top side vent. It has its own small rod support to hold the vent open and a zipper that opens allowing access to three latches across the top to allow closure during rain. There is nothing inside the tent to hang a lantern from. There are two mesh pockets to hold misc. items located across from each other on the side walls. The rainfly can be a bit cumbersome. The tent itself use (6) stakes total. The rainfly uses (12) total. There are a lot of Velcro connection points to the rods as well, make sure and follow the directions and get all of them as these are essential for the stability of the tent. We haven't been through any storms in it yet, but the rainfly covers the entirety of the tent and drops down to within inches of the ground on all sides. The only openings on the rainfly are the vestibule entry, which has an overhang protecting the zipper and the top vent. Assuming it did rain the three latches when engaged should be able to keep the rain out on the top vent. If rain is getting in then you'd need to adjust the guyed support rope the better angle the top cover of the vent. The vestibule adds some additional storage space that's covered and protected from the elements, though items would be sitting on the ground. If you place a tarp under your tent, you could pull some additional tarp out and into this area. I stand at 6' 2' and the vestibule entrance almost has me crawling thru to get in. Keep this in mind as it might be easier to load up the tent with your rainfly off. The door to the tent itself is huge and has two latches allowing it to stay open when unzipped. There is a small little pocket built into the inside of the rainfly so that the vestibule entryway can be unzipped and tucked away to allow additional ventilation. Word to the wise. When setting up the tent in windy conditions, make sure and set the tent up so the tent entryway faces the wind as described in the set-up directions. The vestibule will help guide the wind up and over the tent and the crossed rods (tent rods and vestibule rod Velcro to each other under the rainfly) provides much more stability then the two rods at the back of the tent. This comes from personal experience in 25-30mph winds. The winds were hitting one of the back rods, which was bending it inwards on the tent. I couldn't rotate the tent at that time, but found out that through manipulation of the guyed support rope on that end helped provide additional stabilization during the heavier winds. Other then that, the tent held firm and that was with the factory anchor pins. I could mimic the inward pull on both back rods during calm conditions from inside the tent. The two front rods wouldn't pull inward like the back ones... So again, set the front towards any heavy and/or expected windy conditions. The vestibule entryway is from the side, so the entrance will still be protected. The tent folds up and compacts nicely. The rainfly when packed down takes up about as much space as the tent. The rods are standard length. Probably not the best for back packing but great for our family with three young boys. Setting up solo tent takes approx. 18 minutes, tear down/fold-up takes approx. 20 minutes.

I will do my own rating from 1/10 on different aspects of the cooler. Comfort 8/10 Looks 9/10 Weight 10/10 Quality 8/10 "Leak" proof 2/10 Fitment (for larger people) 8/10 Strap Quality 7/10 Zipper Quick 9/10 Price for product 10/10 Overall personal rating 8.5/10 I'm and farmer and a DJ. I wanted this backpack cooler because usually getting into a tractor with a regular cooler can be sometimes tricky in you have other snacks and goodies in your hands. This cooler allows you to pack all your things together. I pack my drinks, lunch, nicotine pouches, wallet, sunglasses, snacks, and my aux cord all in this cooler. It works great because it allows me to keep everything together. When I DJ I like to bring bottle drinks to weddings that way I don't spill anything in my expense equipment. I will not continue to use this backpack for that. Last wedding I did I had ice with drinks in this cooler. I had the cooler sitting behind me on the floor next to my light stands. The cooler tiped over from my bass and a good pile of water from the ice leaked out. If you're looking for a completely leak proof cooler THIS IS NOT IT! Honestly this is my biggest complaint about this product. If you are needing a cooler to keep your lunch for work cool or drinks for the beach this is perfect for you. Don't hesitate to pull the trigger. I've had the item for a little over a month and absolutely no signs of wear or tear yet and I've been rough on it to see how well it holds up. So far... Durability 10/10 Hope this honest review helps!

I was gifted a very unique framed picture for my fly tying room. A fly that was part of the picture had deteriorated and I dismantled the frame to replace it with one of mine. I removed the glass, picture and backing revealing a family of ticks had taken up residence. I immediately put everything into a 2.5 Gallon Zip-Loc bag. I ordered this spray bottle of Permethron spray which arrived the next day. A few light sprays over the next two days, and a through cleaning (outdoors), took care of the problem. No signs of life.

I got this tent about a week ago and set it up in the yard. We'll be taking it with us to the beach later this month. When we get back, I'll update this review to let everyone know how it did. For now, this is what I can tell you: First, I really, really like the overall design concept of this tent. We're used to three man tents in the backcountry with two adults, three 50-60 lb. dogs, and all our gear. This will be like living in a condo for us. BUT, this tent no longer comes with the "vented cool air privacy port" as seen in the second picture on colemandiscount.com's main product page (under the back central window of the tent. This is quite a bummer, as I was planning on using it as a doggy door as other reviewers mentioned was possible. Not a deal breaker by any means (don't even know if my dogs would fit through it), but they really need to remove it from the product description. I had a friend help me set it up, and it was an absolute breeze. I have set up many, many tents in my life and I was able to remove everything from the bags, take one look at the components, and understand exactly how it goes together without looking at the instructions. This is a good thing, because the instructions are lacking. First, lay the tent out and stake down the corners, pulling the floor nice and tight. Next, you put the arch supports through the center (roof) sleeves on the main tent body. Red poles go in the red sleeves, unmarked poles go in unmarked sleeves. Then, starting from the back (non-screened) section, attach the straight poles to the arched poles, raise the roof up, and slide the end of the poles into the friction pegs attached to the stake out points. Again, red poles go with red poles, unmarked go with unmarked. Continue this process working your way forward to the screened section until you have all four pole sets hooked up. It's easier if the straight poles are at their lowest setting, but it will go up regardless. Connect all the clips and velcro to the polls, hook in the awning and door poles (instructions explain this well enough), stake down all remaining points, and you're set. There is an interior door/wall to attach, and that's simple enough with the toggles. There's also a silly little door mat that doesn't attach to the tent, but just sits in front of the door and stakes down at two points (I'd trade it in for the vent in a heartbeat.) At this point...stop! And here's why: THIS TENT WILL LEAK IN HEAVY ENOUGH RAIN! I set mine up completely, with the rain fly, and waited for a lovely Colorado afternoon monsoon to roll through. One fairly hard rain and there were puddles in the back room. I'm talking puddles deep enough to raise tadpoles in. Definitely enough water to make your camping trip miserable (the tent does have a bathtub floor so it keeps water from seeping in, but holds it in once it's there. So, if you were smart like me (for once:), you went ahead and ordered a few cans of Kiwi Camp Dry, Heavy Duty Water Repellent, 12oz with your tent. This stuff works great (although we lost about half a can from shipping to 7500 ft. Go ahead and cover all the canvas sections of the outside of the tent before you put the rain fly on (no silly, don't spray the mesh. While you're at it, spread the rain fly out and cover it completely as well. Here's a tip: If you stretch the seams out on the fly when you're spraying them, it will create a much tighter bond...ideally you would put the fly on your tent upside down to stretch the seams, then spray the inside of the fly...but this tent is too big to spray the top without some ingenuity. Two cans are enough to cover the entire tent with one coat (plus a little left over. I would buy five cans. Do one coat, wait four hours and do another coat, and take whatever's left with you in case any leaks crop up while camping. Again, pay particular attention to the seams. The Kiwi Camp Dry smells bad at first, but it goes away after it dries, and it creates a wonderful water repellent, breathable barrier. Once the second coat is dry, put the rain fly on the tent, which again is explained easy enough in the instructions. Just remember, the red Coleman logo goes on the front (screened) part of the tent with the doors. The fly has several conveniently attached guy lines with tighteners for staking down. Use them. If you don't know how the tighteners work, look it up online...plenty of good info out there with illustrations. The tighter the guy lines, the less likely the fly will sag against the tent walls, which means less likelihood of a leak. Another tip: Nylon cords expand when wet, so tighten them up in the rain and loosen them when they're dry. Now that it's all set up, and if you're not expecting rain, hose the thing down heavily and look for any weak spots in the water barrier. The canopies above the door and rear central window work excellent. After following this process, I now have a very water resistant tent, leak proof in anything but the most torrential downpour. Then you just let it dry, break it all back down, roll it up, and put it back in the bag (it should fit easily with room to spare. Your tent is now ready for adventure and you've practiced setting it up, making life much easier on yourself once you find that perfect camping spot. Now for the quality of the tent: I'm not overly impressed. I was hoping the walls of the tent would be a little thicker and the seams would be a little tougher. That said, I did set it up nice and tight and had no rips. If it does rip, send it back and get another one. We got caught in the outer bands of Hurricane Karl on last year's beach trip, and there's no way this thing would stand up to those kind of sustained winds (60-65 mph. Not many tents would, however my Kelty Riverbend did. We wanted something much roomier for us and the dogs this time, and this tent is certainly roomy, but I will DEFINITELY be bringing my Kelty as a backup. The tent stakes that came with this Coleman tent are absolutely worthless. Do yourself a favor and buy at least four packs of No Bendium II Gold Stakes or something comparable (I'm obviously partial to Kelty...MSR makes a good product too. As mentioned, definitely take advantage of the several guy lines attached to the fly if you're expecting any kind of wind or rain. There are 21 total staking points on this tent. Here's another good tip: Attach glow sticks or solar-light garden decorations to your guy lines if you're worried about tripping over them. I will personally be replacing the existing guy lines, made out of cheap nylon cordage, with 550 paracord. I bought a few of these with the tent: Rothco 550lb. Type III Paracord. There are plenty of other places to get paracord online...Vermont's Barre Army Navy is a good source and cheaper. The loops where the guy lines tie on to the fly will break long before the lines themselves. And the existing tighteners fit on the paracord no problem. There is also the option of running one long piece of paracord through each side of the tent's guy loops in a V pattern. This uses less stakes if you're expecting calmer weather. The front, screened section of the tent is very nice. It's separated from the central room of the tent by a fully zippable screen door and a side zippable privacy flap. There's no floor on this model, which is good because if it rains there's no way to keep the water out without some serious tarp rigging. There's two traditional, vestibule style doors on this section that attach with a zipper and stake down individually. Stake one down and leave the other unstaked for easy entrance, but stake them both down if you're leaving the tent for any length of time in case the wind picks up. The more stakes you have in the better. For instance, last year at the beach I had my Kelty staked down at 15 points and ours was the only tent that didn't collapse or blow away. You can tie a line from an existing stake set in the stake point and tie it to another stake for an anchor if necessary. This can be done on the guys as well. The more redundancy you have in your stake points, the stronger your setup will be. Speaking of doors, the hinged door is an awesome addition. However, the velcro will only line up if you're on very level ground. It does zip up nice and tight though. There are plenty of semi-decently designed windows, and we should stay nice and cool as long as there's a breeze (usually is on the beach. On the other hand, this is NOT a cold weather tent. With all the mesh walls, you're certain to get a draft unless you, again, go crazy with tarp rigging. There are also two typical mesh gear storage bags inside the tent...both medium sized. If you want to accessorize your tent with fans, lights, etc., there's really no way to hang anything inside the tent without getting creative. If you leave the interior wall unattached, you could probably rig something up to hang stuff from the available toggle loops. We did buy the Coleman 4-in-1 Quickbed and the Coleman 12-Volt DC QuickPump. Pump works great and the mattress fits very nicely inside either room of the tent. To sum up; I love the design, I have some reservations, but with some pre-planning and a worst case scenario mentality, I am going to give it a shot at the beach. I'll be bringing patch kits, sewing kits, duct tape, tarps, extra Kiwi repellent, extra stakes, paracord, and anything else I can think of to keep this tent operational if we do end up in bad storm weather. With the modifications, it's done well so far with some decent rain and wind up here in the mountains, and I'll let you all know how it did on the beach as soon as we get back. UPDATE 9-22-11: This tent absolutely rocked at the beach! We had mostly beautiful weather except for one night. The first few nights we left the fly off and really enjoyed the starry nights. Then we heard a big storm was coming in, so we put the fly on and staked, guyed, and anchored like crazy. Once again, our tent was the last one standing. We got hammered all night that night with high winds and torrential rains...did spring one small leak at the seam between the screened in section and the main body, nothing big and it was away from our bed so didn't bother us but I should have sealed that seam a little better. Tent stood up to the winds no problem though...very happy about that. We actually left the fly on after that because we noticed that, with the breeze on the beach, it actually helped move air through the tent. Stayed much cooler in there...which was nice considering the heat wave going on in Texas this Summer. Very, very impressed with the tent and it will be our car camper for many years to come. One other thing: We bought this folding camp table and it fit perfectly in the screened in area with a couple camp chairs.ALPS Mountaineering Eclipse Table I'll add some pics of our camp.

We were really excited about this product and we were set to receive this the day before a big camping trip with the family. It arrived on time unfortunately, the candle melted or only took up half of the tin and it was deformed. We could not find the wick as it seems to be either buried or not existent. No candle for the trip and it needs to be returned. What a hassle. Bummer.

First it’s a Colman Bag. Good quality brand name. Out of the box it does NOT have a "new" smell (actually not much of any smell) and you can buy it and fairly confidently take it on your camping trip without even opening it from the factory until you arrive at your camping destination. I'm 6' 1" and 180 lbs and there was plenty of room for me both length and width wide. I can't speak to others peoples sizes, it's unlike some of the backpacking sleeping bags I have used in the past. This is more of a modified mummy bag with a roomy feel and a more square bottom. Some mummies make me feel claustrophobic, this does not. There is a label along the side of the stuff sack, which you are supposed to remove after taking the bag out the first time. It makes the stuff sack lager. I tried to get it back in with the label still on, but getting it back in with the label on is apparently only something you can only do at the factory. I removed the label and the stuff sack is permanently larger and I had no issues stuffing it back in, but don't expect it to be the shipping size after first use. Also there is no Coleman fleece lining like a lot of the square ones have. It’s the same material on the inside as the outside. Exactly like a backpacking bag. For children this may not be the best bag, but I got the large and tall, so unless you kids are 6' 5", get a fleece lined one for them. I like the zipper, it's obviously some attempt to make sleeping bag zippers better with a big orange plastic shroud over it. I think they succeeded. Most of the way up it’s a breeze, with a little bit of difficulty towards the last foot or so. However, when I'm in a Mummy bag I like to know I can get out easily and this zipper delivers. Its supper easy to unzip. So overall I'll give this a good thumbs up. It also has a velcro pocket toward the top inside of the bag. This is a super nice touch. Its plenty big enough for a cell phone, a small flashlight and some ear buds. You won't have to go searching for you phone at your feet or role over it. In addition it will stay warm with you so your cell phone battery won't go dead in the cold of the night. Nice touch. It also has two lightweight strings attached to the foot. I wouldn't call them compression straps, but they are good to role the bag up with and tie around it so you don't have to have a stuff sack. Also the stuff sack bag does not have a flap at the opening so you can protect the bag from the cinched opening. Just a small detail that would be nice, but not a must have. Overall a good sleeping bag. I'm happy I have it. Given the weight and size, its more of a car camping, hunting lodge, back of something sleeping bag. With good compression straps you could make it smaller, but I don't think its meant for backpacking like, super small lightweight backpacking bag. Its just a good solid bag that will hopefully last for years.

Great product . American 🇺🇸 and easy to put up . Sleeps 2 . And was perfect for one . Folds up in easy to go carry case

Pro: Easy set-up, easy break down. Roomy for one person and a dog. Dark room tech is awesome. Con: The outer door on this thing is constantly getting stuck in the zipper. It gets a bit irritating. This thing really sucks in the rain. I would highly recommend that you don't even bother testing it in the rain because I did that for you. I would only use it for non-rain or very, very, very light rain trips. I just got back from a camping trip where it rained very heavy for the last four hours of the last day I was there and although I mainly had to deal with extreme sweating in the tent, there were some areas the tent got wet. Also, because of the shape of the tent, when you open the door...ALL of the rain comes in. So, why am I still giving it 4 stars...well, because as long as you aren't using this in the rain, it really is an awesome little tent. The construction is good, easy setup, dark room tech is great, roomy...I love it. I'll just have to use my old tent for rainy trips, sleep in the jeep, or invest in something tougher in the future. Hope this helps someone.
