OUTSTANDING TENT! OUTSTANDING VALUE!
By Rik's Journeys
After researching practically every backpacking tent I could find on the Internet, I finally decided to go with this one. An excellent choice it would prove to be. A great backpacking tent for short or semi-short treks (it weighs less than 5 pounds)... or, for a Boy Scout, etc. I live in Northern California and the places I hike/backpack into, the temperature seldom drops below freezing... and the weather/climate is relatively mild most of the year. Anyway, it's VERY EASY to set-up and take down. It's lightweight, reasonably durable, and will actually go back into the zip-up carrying case that comes with it. My first night out, the low temperature was a mild (no rain), but chilly 48 degrees... however, it was VERY windy all evening and through the night. This tent did great keeping the wind out and me warm. I only use this tent for backpacking/trekking (I have other tents for base camp or when the family comes along). Anyway, for backpacking; whether you're just spending a few days out in the wildnerness or weeks, I see no reason this tent wouldn't do the trick just fine. I have not yet spent a night in it while it was raining, but I have (as I always do) put a seam sealer on the seams and I feel confident this tent will hold up fine. Keep these factors in mind... for relatively mild weather and climates... for semi-short or short hikes/treks, you cannot go wrong with this tent for the money. In other words, if you're hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, this tent would be considered a little heavy. Also, if you're spending a lot of time where it rains for days, or where the climate is harsh on a regular basis, dig deeper into your pockets and buy something a little more practical for your conditions. If that's the case, you can expect to spend $100+ for something like that. Last but not least, it fits into my relatively small backpacking backpack (2600 cubic inches) just fine, and leaves plenty of room for my other gear.

I'm satisfied
By F. Pires
This is my first tent, so I'm sure my technical knowledge is limited. But I have some field experience - I hiked the Grand Canyon for a week, so here it goes:It leaked. Not much, just on the corners of the floor seam, but it did. And it only rained lightly, so I think I would've been in trouble with a bit of heavy rain. I strongly recommend you get some seam sealer, maybe that'll fix it.The main plus is defintely the price. I searched for tents everywhere, e-bay, you name it. This is definitely the cheapest one around (08/13/06), at least of the well-known brands.It's pretty easy to set-up, and it's very roomy, I enjoyed that. It also has good ventilation. You can't tell from the pictures, but under the rain fly, the top-sides are made of mesh, and there is an extra mesh window (about half the size of the door) on the back side. It's great to watch the stars if it doesn't look like it'll rain.With that said, it is a little heavy. Not unbearable, I was never miserable carrying it around on my back, but I certainly felt the weight a few times.I think it was worth the price, but I was unhappy with the leak

Excellent tent and value
By D. Callanan
I purchased this tent after reading an earlier review on a 10 year old Boy Scout was able to get it assembled in no time. As a rookie outdoorsmen, this was key, as I did not wish to become the butt of all jokes on a recent camping trip. If the tent was even the slightest bit complex, I would surely be laughed at as I blundered my way through the set-up.However, Grizzy Adams ain't got nothing on me thanks to the Coleman SunDome. I got that bad boy up in like 5 minutes and it actually looked like I knew what I was doing. It was very sturdy and the only reason I didn't give it the full five stars is that 7'x5' is pretty tight quarters for two people.So if you're rookie like me---and I hope you aren't---and you need a good tent that won't make you look like a fool during set-up, then go for the SunDome.
