Nikki's Review of Coleman Instant Tent - 4 Person
This tent looks good and is super easy to set up which is its best feature.
It is smaller inside then other 4 man Coleman tents I've owned (4) with about 1 foot shorter in width so with 2 full sleeping bags and duffel bags it's tight.
It is good for fair weather camping but terrible in rain since there isn't a rain fly. I would recommend draping a tarp over it if you think it's going to rain, if you don't and you get significant rain there will be water inside.
I camped recently in 1 full day and night of rain. The tent was saturated and there were puddles inside. I went into the tent after it stopped raining and water poured down my back and into the tent like a waterfall onto my husband's sleeping bag (LOL!) which never dried the rest of the weekend.
I gave this tent 3 stars for looks, ease of set up and good for fair weather camping but it is dismal in rain. We are now looking for a better tent.
