[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality made material, was fairly easy to set up but took us longer than 5 minutes but not much more time than that. We set it up on a day that was pretty windy and it held up great against the wind. Comes with spikes that are sturdy and hold into the ground well. A good majority of the tent is screen for great ventilation and fresh air and also has a cover that goes over that for rainy days or nights and/or to protect from the wind. Zippers work well. The size of the tent is huge and can easily fit 6 people to sleep. Has a nice wide door and great head room. I highly recommend this tent.
The packaging was sealed tight, but easy to open. It is great under rainy conditions! No leaks. It is as comfy as you make the inside of your tent. It does fit about 3 people very spacious as I only have 3 people that go camping with me every summer that share a tent with me. The doors open nice and big with no issues opening or closing.
This Coman must be using designers and not Campers to have created this tent. The fixed poles at the back are a pain in set up. It's as if they are making a hybrid of a pop-up tent. The rain-fly's sleeve for its pole on the inside makes for additional challenges set up and take down. This tent is big; from footprint, headroom and vestibule, when wet this is a pain. The fly-lines are cheap nylon, as are the short tent pegs. This tent didn't stand up to the wind and rain of its first night of use. The Pole connection joints are crimped and these failed under the weight of the fly in the rain. (I have had other Coleman tents in the past and the quality has dropped on this tent) I cannot recommend this tent or Skydome Series.
I used this this tent on a 6 day in the woods camping event. It was longer than 5 minutes to set up solo (first time setting up). Heavy rains two days with just the rain fly...which held up pretty well with minimum dripping from the top. The vestibule worked great! There were puddles under the tent that did not leak through. Overall great tent! Looking forward to my next trip (will use a tarp overhead if expecting heavy rains.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this tent to go camping with our family. It is 4 of us and we found the tent very spacious. We felt like we could move around without issues. Something else that we like is the large vestibule where we could place our shoes and bags to protect the from the dew in the morning. Putting it together could be a little easier but maybe it is lack of practice. Overall is a good option for family camping trips.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up and take down was super simple. There is so much space! The rain fly comes all the way down and there was a little porch area we stored things in. My family and I love camping and this Coleman six person met all of our needs. We will be using this for years to come!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this and went camping on for 3 nights and the tent performed flawlessly. We had rain a couple of nights and even though I didn’t have time to treat the tent with waterproofing like usual we didn’t get wet at all. Set up was straightforward and take down. I really like that the poles stay attached to the tent to prevent losing them. The rain fly worked perfectly and even had a few small vents on it. This is stated as a six person tent and I’m sure it is with no gear but if storing gear in tent with six people I’d get a bigger tent. Overall I’m super pleased with the tent and really looking forward to camping with it again.
I am a former backpacker and bicycle tourist, now too old for those labor intensive activities. These days I car camp and for car camping, the SkyDome 6 is surprisingly good quality for the cost. Sturdy material, good roomy design, fairly strong/ridgid poles that stand up to intermittent moderate gusts, and good ventilation. For the next few weeks, I am OFF GRID in the Arizona desert. The DARK feature really does provide significant cooling. However, the monsoon season is arriving soon, with strong winds and horizontal rain, and I wonder about the rain protection with the included fly. The DARK 6 design does not have much overhang above the door. I like the design of the FULL FLY VESTIBULE SkyDome 6, and wonder if that fly and vestibule would fit my DARK SkyDome 6?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Coleman 6-person tent perfectly meets our camping needs. It’s super quick to set up with poles already attached to the tent. I love the color coding to help figure out which way to set up the rain fly. It holds up exceptionally well to the elements – both wind and rain. The walls aren’t as rounded as most tents, so it’s much more roomy, and it’s almost tall enough to stand upright. The door is bigger than most so we can easily get our stuff in and out. It allows for great air circulation, with a vented roof. And I don’t have to wrestle with the storage bag – it expands nicely, so storing the tent back in the bag is easy. Great product, I’d highly recommend!
So sadly this did mot hold up maybe i just got a bad tent but after set up one of my poles did indeed break, before that tho the size was pretty dang good for the price the zippers worked like a charm without any sticking and having a hassle there was enough venting in the tent to keep yourself from falling claustrophobic but also warm when needed and the material was excellent for camping in the rain i dont think a drop would have gotten in due to how waterproof it was.
