Pros and cons

Pros

Pre-attached poles and a claimed setup time under five minutes may reduce setup effort at camp.
The 12-by-9-foot listed floor and two-queen-bed capacity give groups a clear space-planning reference.
A rainfly is listed as included, and the tent is described with Coleman's WeatherTec system.

Cons

At 19.3 pounds, it is a substantial load for trips where the tent must be carried a long distance.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Specifications conflict: the listed packed dimensions are 25"L x 9.5"W x 9.5"H, while another listing section gives 12 x 9 ft as tent dimensions and 6 ft. 4 in as center height. A separate listing also says 20% more headroom than traditional canopies, unlike the feature text's comparison with traditional Coleman dome tents. Confirm the selected model's dimensions and comparison before purchase. The 35 mph wind statement is a manufacturer claim, not an independently established performance rating. Customer feedback also describes mixed durability and pole-removal experiences, so consider those reports if frequent setup and packing are priorities.

Customer feedback highlights easy setup, perceived spaciousness and reports of staying dry. These experiences align with the listing's quick-setup claim and roomy stated floor, though the listed 8-person capacity may feel more comfortable for smaller groups with gear. Durability and value feedback is mixed, with reports of pole breakage and difficulty removing poles in the field. The overall rating distribution leans positive but includes a notable one-star share, so it does not settle those practical concerns.

Positive themes

Customers praise setup as easy and quick.
Customers report useful space for smaller groups, cots and gear, and some say the tent kept them dry in rain.

Negative themes

Some customers report poles breaking.
Some customers say the poles are difficult or impossible to remove in the field.

Mixed feedback

Customer views on durability and value vary, with both positive experiences and critical reports.

Frequently asked questions

How many people is this tent listed for?

The listing specifies 8 Person. It also says it fits two queen-size air beds. Customer feedback describes comfortable use by groups of three or four, so the listed maximum may not reflect everyone's preferred room for gear.

How quickly does the tent set up?

The manufacturer claims setup takes under five minutes because the poles are pre-attached. This is a listing claim, not a timed independent test.

Is the tent suitable for rainy weather?

It is listed as water resistant and names Coleman's WeatherTec system, with rainproof wording elsewhere. Customer feedback includes reports of staying dry in rain, but that does not establish performance in every storm.

What should I know about its dimensions?

The listing gives a 12-by-9-foot floor and a 6.4-foot maximum height, but its packed-dimension field also says 25"L x 9.5"W x 9.5"H. Check the selected listing's specification details before relying on the measurements.
