wanted to love it
By epicjourney
My first impression of this tent straight out of the box was that it was a little heavy at around 11 lbs but then i figured that i wouldn't be hauling a four person tent by myself and the weight could be split between two or more people so I wasn't that concerned. After setting the tent up without the rain fly in my living room, I was extremely impressed. There was plenty of room for me, the wife and my son for a comfortable nights sleep. The double doors were a plus and the zippers were extremely smooth and quiet. The entire tent is made up of mesh with a bathtub floor which provides for good ventilation. The seams are all taped which is a plus for a tent at this price point, however the floor of the tent has a seem on the bottom in the middle of the tent floor which is a big negative even though it is also taped. I set up the tent with the rain fly in my back yard on a windy day (20-30mph). The vestibules where fairly roomy but after being set up for about 20 minutes, one of the poles gave way and one side of the tent collapsed. I set it back up and about 10 minutes later it was collapsed again. This time one of the fiberglass poles was snapped in half and ripped a hole through the rain fly. The fiberglass poles are very unstable and heavy. Also the non vestibule sides of the rain fly touched the side of the mesh on the inner wall of the tent. Even if the rain fly is guyed out it does not fix this problem. I really think this would be a great tent if the poles were aluminum. I returned this tent and will probably opt for a Kelty brand.

Good tent for the money
By JED
Purchased at Cabela's for $120. So much better than any cheapo tent you get at wal-mart. Can withstand wind and rain, will not blow over and will keep you dry. Have used approx 30 nights in last 6 months, did break one of the fibreglass poles but was able to fix, will probably replace with aluminum alloy poles because of excessive use. Just big enough for queen size inflatable mattress, not much extra room. Great tent for 2 people to camp comfortably. At first thought 2 doors was excessive but can't imagine with only one door after I got used to it. Vestibules very handy to keep things dry. Could use some extra ventilation in rainfly.

Awesome tent
By R. Ngin
American Recreation owns Slumberjack, Sierra Designs and Kelty.This tent, the Slumberjack trail tent is based off the same design as the Kelty - Trail Ridge (comes in 2, 3, 4, 6 person designs)This tent also shares similar designs with the higher end Sierra Designs - Yahi tents (4, 6 person design)Main Differences:Slumberjack Trail Tent model main difference: fibreglass poles, no vents rainfly design, thinner coating for the nylon covers, clip system for rainfly.Kelty Trail Ridge main differences: DAC DA17 poles, 2 air vents for rainfly, thicker 1800mm coating for nylon, top gera loft net, clip system for rainfly.Sierra Designs Yahi main differences: Slightly different roof design, air vents and sew-free window, thicker 3000 coating for floor, Superseal Floor, m hub pole junction, 360 zipper door, clip system for rain fly and jakes foot pole attachment.Basically these tents are well built, well designed. If your on a budget and want a high end tent with all the nice features get the slumber jack, just realize that there are no vents unless you open up a vistibule doorway, might not be very fun in the rain and wind.If your looking for a bit more durability and camp 2-3 times a year, grab the Kelty version as it has vents and poles are made of DAC DA17 material that are very sturdy and durable, plus the nylon coating is 20% thicker.If your an avid camper looking to camp 5 times a year or more for long periods of time, grab the Sierra Designs version. They are all based on the same basic design but contain more durability and comfort features as you move up.Regardless, with all three designs, they are all amazingly built and well designed well above the average tent, it is important to add a tarp for footprint underneath to ensure you dont prematurely ruine your floor tent material through punctures and non ideal camping surfaces.Enjoy, hope this helps!

Awesome Tent.
By MeganAshley
This tent is really great! Had it for a month now. I'll just list pro's and cons to keep this review simple:PROS1 - Large! Lots of room and tall enough to stand!2 - Roof vents! Keeps it cool.3 - Large windows, front area towards the door is mostly screened - very nice!4 - Fairly waterproof right out of the bag. Did not waterproof and left it out in a storm where we got 50mm of rain! (yes, 50!! It was coming down harder than I have ever seen... hail included.) There was only a very small (about a tbsp) puddle of water by one side.5 - Seams are taped, fabrice is of good quality.6 - Poles are very sturdy.7 - SETS UP IN NO TIME! I am a 24 year old girl and did it by myself for the first time without reading instructions in 56 second (watched some videos on youtube before purchasing :))CONS1 - Tent is heavy and difficult to get back in the bag (like most tents)2 - In the bag, it is quite long, and needs to be stored near the back of my Sunfire's trunk, or else it does not fit.3 - tent pegs you get with it are CRAP. Spring for some better ones.4 - Taking it down takes a bit of effort, although it still takes less time than a traditional tent. It's just a different kind of hassel with this one as you have to fold everything in very carefully so you don't pinch the fabric and tear a hole.All in all, and awesome tent. We got new pegs, waterproofed the seams and fabric, and bring a tarp to put over top just for extra protection from very high volumes of water. Awesome tent, well worth the $$. :)

I was wrong. And that's never easy for me to admit.
By lukeburns
Let me start by saying I definitely feel in love with the "idea" of this tent and made the purchase with my heart and not my brain. I read all the negative reviews (no rain fly, poor door design, water everywhere) but choose to focus more on the positive ones (goes up in like 5 seconds, very spacious, no rain fly needed.) Our Colman 4 Person had been serving us well for years, but we've added two outdoor-loving little girls to the family and it was time to upgrade. We live in Belgium and rain is an everyday occurrence, so I figured I could benefit from having a tent that would go up and come down before the next time the sky opened up. I set it up in the backyard (by myself in just over a minute) and let the weather have its way with it for a few nights. After it stayed put and kept the water out, I was convinced it was time to take it for a field test. We set out this past weekend to camp from Friday afternoon until Monday morning. The rain came and went several times a day as anticipated but the painfully obvious design flaws of the Instant Tent forced us to cut the trip a few days short. Here's the short list of reasons this is a failed experiment of a tent:The doors are awful. Both the back and front door's zippers catch on the rain flap....constantly... about every foot. There is no way to do it with one hand. Both doors are also placed just so that they funnel the water from the roof into the tent or onto your head if you jump the gun getting out in a hurry.The windows are a hassle. Once rolled down, the ties (two of which broke) are either horribly placed, or missing all together. This means the fabric just kind of hangs there and we had to "custom" roll and fasten them every time they went up and back down (which were numerous in the rain.)Then there was the condensation. Looking back it makes perfect sense if water can't get in, it can't get out either. I thought keeping the many windows cracked would be a fix. I was wrong. After tracking in two days worth of moisture, and keeping the windows and doors zipped up through the night, we woke up to an indoor rain shower from the gathering condensation on the roof. Our sleeping bags had soaked up the majority of the water, but there were still a few puddles around and if you bumped a wall, you were treated to a similar experience to pulling on a tree branch after a good rain.We were not soaked, but I could only see it getting worst, so we packed up camp in the rain. Just to add insult to injury, I was in the process of showing a fellow camper how easy it was to pack up the tent when one of the tension straps ripped off in my hand. Now I'm soaked, mad, and embarrassed.It's hard for me to believe Coleman, a company that I've always trusted, could have properly tested this dud. Seems to me a few days in a realistic camping situation would have provide them more than enough feedback to convince them this wreck of a tent design was not gonna cut it.I thought I'd be able to overcome the Instant Tent's flaws with my years of outdoor experience (born and raised in the Sierra Nevadas) and my problem solving ability (12 years in the Army.) I was wrong. And that's never easy for me to admit.

Perfect for weekend camping trips
By Regular customer
This is a fantastic tent.The good:- Takes around 60 seconds to unpack from the bag and set-up (watch the video on YouTube)- Takes around 2 minutes to take down, wrap, roll, and pack back into the bag (watch the video on YouTube)- Good height inside- Overall good design and construction- Excellent ventilation when you want to let in fresh air to cool the tent downNeeds some improvement:- Guy line tighteners are not very effective. I replaced them immediately with a set of Figure 9 tighteners... [...] (this is a problem with most tents, and the Figure 9 system is awesome)- One of the guy lines that came with the tent seems to have been damaged at the factory, so the next time I use the tent I will probably also replace the guy line too- There needs to be a way to secure the door zip to allow one-handed opening- The usual cheap tent stakes are provided that bend easily. I replaced them immediately with a set of aluminum ones that work much better and are much stronger... [...]Not much to complain about really. I wish I had bought this years ago, as takes away one of the biggest hassles of camping and makes it so much easier to get away on a Friday after work for a great weekend of camping.
