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.pstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr 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:pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr 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.pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr 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.p 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.pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes, Tunnels and Sacks/font/strongbr 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.pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr 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.p 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.p

Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent Specifications

Spacious and weather-resistant, the Wenzel Sycamore 18-by-10-foot dome tent sleeps up to seven campers in its three rooms, making it ideal for large families or smaller families with lots of gear. The Sycamore is made of rugged, weather-repellent polyester with a polyurethane coating for reliability, helping it keep water out and warmth in. The welded polyethylene tub-style floor, meanwhile, includes a rain shingle that creates a watershed effect, so rain doesn’t seep in through the seams. And campers will love the variety of ventilation points–including three Dutch D-style doors and three polyester mesh windows–all of which are aided by an updraft ventilation system that improves the overall airflow. p The Sycamore is also quick and easy to set up, with a five-way center hub with a fast-feet-and-ring system, along with a lightweight, shock-corded fiberglass frame. And when it comes time to hit the sheets, you can either create one huge sleeping room or roll down the two divider curtains to create three separate rooms. The rooms can function as individual bedrooms for all the campers, two sleeping rooms and one living room, or any other configuration. Other details include a gear loft for storage, a removable fly with a hoop frame over the door, and ABS plastic pegs. pbSpecifications/bulliBase: 18 by 10 feet liCenter height: 74 inches liArea: 116 square feet liCapacity: 6-7 people liCarrying weight: 22 pounds liWarranty: 10 years /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between.

Wenzel Sycamore 18- by 10-Foot Seven-Person Three-Room Family Dome Tent CustomerReview

Bottom Line:br /============br /I’ve owned this tent for almost 8 years, and it’s served me well. We’ve had no problems, aside from a broken elastic cord in the pole, but this is common with all dome tents, and was easily fixable with my tent repair kit that I always keep on hand. You will need to water proof this tent just like any other tent you buy. (Using a waterproofing spray and seam sealer.) Setup is fairly simple. I am able to do it by myself, but it is easier and faster with a partner.br /br /Other Details:br /==============br /Waterproofing:br /————–br /Unless specified on the package or product listing, no tent is waterproof, EVER. All tents must be treated and waterproofed prior to use in wet weather. Even if you waterproof, I do suggest a covering with a secure tarp if you plan on camping in areas that expect moderate to strong storms, though for knowledgeable campers, this is common sense for all tents. br /br /The fly (separate red cover) on this tent does not offer protection from elements, but it does cover a nice feature for this tent: Almost 100% of the tent under the fly is screen. This means no waking up drenched from sweat because it’s as hot as an oven in your tent under the morning sun. The screen allows for significant airflow ventilation without having to lose privacy opening the windows. br /br /Setup:br /——br /I can do it by myself with moderate struggle, but it’s easy with two people, and should be setup within 15-20 minutes for new campers. I do have some trouble securing the fly if I’m setting the tent up myself, but after practice, I’ve worked out a method that works. You will too.br /br /br /Size Quality:br /—————br /The size of this tent is nice. The 2 of us adult are able to sleep comfortably, on a king-size inflate mattress, with ample room for gear, and two large dog crates in the other “bedroom” end. With minimal gear, and sleeping bags, this tent could easily sleep 4-5 adults comfortably. br /br /I was impressed with the durability of this tent. I’m not gentle or careful with my camping gear and other than the broken pole (which again, was my fault, and a common breakage for all dome tents) there have been no problems.

Columbia Cougar Flats II 15-Foot by 10-Foot 8 Person 2 Room Family Cabin Dome Tent Specifications

Bring the family to the campsite and still have plenty of room to spare with the two-room Columbia Cougar Flats II cabin dome tent. The Cougar Flats II–which sleeps up to eight people–is equipped with both a Cyclone venting system and a GoBe Dry rain protection system. The Cyclone system greatly increases the air circulation within the tent, helping you stay cool on warmer days or dry out after a nasty rainstorm. The GoBe Dry system, meanwhile, ensures that the pounding rain won’t find a way inside. The tent even includes a patented bay window design that lets you keep the windows open during the storm. p The real highlight of the tent, however, is the spacious interior, which divides its ample sleeping space between two different rooms. As a result, you can give the kids one room and the adults the other, or you can use one room as a bedroom and the other as a living space. In addition, the interior of the tent offers plenty of organizational features, such as internal pockets, cupholders for coffee or soft drinks, and a gear loft that holds your valuables out of the way. And once it’s time to leave the campsite, the tent collapses quickly into a wheeled EZ Pak storage bag, which features an expandable zippered gusset for easy stuffing. p Other features include a polyester taffeta body and rainfly, steel and fiberglass poles, two separate doors, and a Camp Port for easy cable passage. The Cougar Flats II measures 15 by 7.16 by 10 feet (W x H x D) and weighs 54 pounds. pstrongKey Features:/strongulliTent Type: Family liSleeping Capacity: 8 Person liNumber of Rooms: 2 liPacked Weight: 54 pounds liTent Floor Length: 15 feet liTent Floor Width: 10 feet liPeak Height: 86 inches liGoBe Dry Ultimate Rain Protection system liCyclone Venting system for better air circulation with rainfly liCamp port for easy passage of cables liTwo windows and two doors liInternal pockets, cupholders, and gear loft liWheeled carry bag liBody and rainfly made of polyester taffeta liSteel and fiberglass poles liEZ Pak expandable storage duffle /ulpstrongAbout Columbia Sportswear/strongbr Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world’s largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia’s extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company.p Columbia’s history starts with Gert’s parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn’t long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60 year-old Gert began her role as “Mother Boyle” in Columbia’s successful and popular advertising campaign.p The company went public in 1998 and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.p

Columbia Cougar Flats II 15-Foot by 10-Foot 8 Person 2 Room Family Cabin Dome Tent CustomerReview

After a tremendous amount of research, I decided this tent was definitely the way to go for our family of four. I will not repeat everything previous reviewers have said here (I read them all and additional ones at other sites), but I do want to let you know that the newest model of this tent is now available through amazon and not a third party seller. The tent listed here is model number CB-9001. The amazon.com buying option is CB-9001-10. I called amazon and they couldn’t give me an answer about the difference. I then called North Pole at 1-866-706-9377 to get the low-down. The CB-9001-10 is the newest, 2010 version. br /br /The difference with newer model:br /1. Added awning: a fabulous addition, especially if you want to leave muddy shoes at the door!br /2. Pole issue has been resolved.br /3. Floor is now made of nylon. The rep says this cuts down on noise and is also less prone to holes. They do strongly advise using a tent saver underneath. Make sure it is slightly smaller than the tent footprint.br /br /Additional Info missing from previous reviews:br /1. Rainfly has a 800mm coating. Tent buying guides usually recommend 1000-1500mm, but this tent does seem water resistant.br /2. Mesh netting is no-see-um rated.br /3. Seams are factory sealed, however rep said you can use Kenyon 3 sealer as extra insurance.br /4. Columbia does not recommend coating the tent. This can have a reverse effect on moisture control!br /5. There is a limited-lifetime warranty on tent, but you must save original receipt.br /6. Yes, the second room does not have its own entrance, but we have a 5 and 4 yr old, so I decided it was a safety PLUS for us.br /br /Hope this helps! I researched the bejeezus out of family, cabin-style tents and this one seems to be by far the best all-around tent for the price, factoring features, materials, quality vs. cost. The only other tent I seriously considered was Eureka’s Titan Luxury Family Tent, but at nearly 0 more, it wasn’t worth the price jump.br /br /In Summary: Buy the newest model of this tent!! Amazon’s price is the same as competitors and you get free shipping. Happy camping! I will update my review after receiving tent. br /br /
