Seal the Seams
By Trickster
Overall, this is a nice tent.PROS: Expected Coleman quality construction. The Zippers are nice, smooth, no snags, and water tight. The tent is light, easy to pack, easy to set up, even in the dark. The tent has a lot of ventilation to avoid internal condensation. Fits a queen size air mattress with some room for shoes, gear, and backpacks. Great price, good value. I'll be using this tent for several years hopefully.CONS: This tent leaks at the seam where the floor meets the sides. It rained for 10 hours the second time we used it, 1.5 inches of rain. Everything near the sides of the tent was soaked. I could see the water seeping through the seams. You must seam seal this tent before using it in the rain. The rain-fly worked fine, and we stayed dry enough to survive the night. I bought some seam sealer and will be sealing this tent for our upcoming camping trip. It's airy. It was in the low 50's the night it rained and it took some effort to stay warm and dry. There is no built in way to cover the large mesh vents under the rain fly. The large air vents are good for reducing condensation, but does not hold in much heat. I am thinking about making some Velcro attachable vent covers to hold in some heat and stay a little warmer if needed.I would recommend this tent for camping where it doesn't get very chilly. Make sure you seam seal it (I think this is recommended for any tent) and bring a warm sleeping bag or extra blankets in case it gets cold.Update: 2012 Camping Season No more leaking problems since I seam sealed it with Seam Grip. It has endured several thunderstorms with no problems. The tent is holding up well... I did have to sew up a seam on the stuff sack though. On our first camping outing this season, the temperature got into the upper 20's. To keep in heat, I laid a fleece blanket over the top under the rain fly to block the vents and keep in heat. It worked great! We stayed warm! This tent has proven to be a great deal for the price.

This tent is good for the price, but 'ware the rain! The moment I got the tent, I sealed all the seams thoroughly, then packed it up for a weekend trip. It rained all weekend, and at first I was quite pleased to be one of two people in the group to have a dry tent. That first night there was some condensation on the tent walls, but nothing to complain about. The second night, however, sure showed me. It didn't outright pour, but it did rain steadily all night, and I woke up during the night to find myself soaked. The seams didn't leak - the water came right through the fabric of the tent. The floor/tub remained waterproof, but the siding needs some significant waterproofing to make it through a rainy night.Other than the rain problem, this tent performed admirably. The zippers were waterproof, despite having been packed in such a way that the flap over the door's zipper tended to stick straight out. The ventilation was good without being terribly breezy. There's plenty of room in all directions, and it was easy to move around and change inside. Setup and takedown were a breeze, even by myself in the rain! (Just drape the fly over the top to cover the mesh.)I don't regret buying this tent, but I won't be taking it out for a wet weekend again. Curling up in a soaked sleeping bag was more character-building than I was prepared for!

Good for price - Worthless in any rain
By K. Sconza
Pro's: Good room for 1 person. (head still touches sides when laying down unless bag is palced corner to corner) Shoe & Cord Access Ports Easy to assemble Floor/wall seam is sewed 6" above bottom Good headroom in center.Con's: Decent room for 2 persons. No empty space with 3 Persons. Leaked steadily in a drizzling rain in all 4 corners (just above floor seam) Rain Fly had water bleed through Parts of Sides has some water bleed throughInstructions even say to seal before using
