Coleman Pop-Up Instant Tent Sets Up in 10 Seconds, Portable & Lightweight 2/4 Person Weatherproof Camping Tent with Adjustable Rainfly

My Coleman Pop-Up just arrived and I have to say I am impressed. After reading all the negative comments about the quality and difficulty putting it away I was skeptical. However, the quality is on par for what it is intended to be, a simple easy overnight fair weather tent for families. As a boy scout leader and life long hiker and camper I have seen all manner of tents over the years (currently have 4) and all in all this is a good option for the novice or family looking for a quick easy solution to camping in a tent. I was looking for a quick easy tent for weekend camping when I cant use my hammock. PROS: Light and easy to put up. (However, not really a hiking tent. Packed, its a large circle that's about 32 inches across.) Everything you need in one package, stakes, rain fly, etc. Good Size for TWO (2) adults or One adult and One child. There is NO WAY you are getting 4 adults into this tent. Maybe 4, 5-10 year olds. Perfect for a couple of Cub Scouts. Lots of ventilation screening. This is most definitely a PRO since condensation at the peak of the tent can be a problem with multiple people in a tent. Free standing, the design allows it to be set up with no need to stake it down to make it stay up. Folds up flat with no bulky bag. CONS: You will need 2 cheap tarps. (One to go under the tent and one to cover the inside on the floor. The floor material is thinner than expected but a tarp covering the floor took care of any concerns I had about tearing the floor from the outside or having a cot rub a hole in the material. ) It is short inside. You will not be standing up inside as an adult but most backpacking tents have his downfall. Addressing Other Negative Comments: Zipper Being Too Tight to Zip- Apparently people are stretching the tent out lengthwise before they put the stakes into the ground. That was the only way I could get any tension in the zipper. Simply open the tent and put the stakes in the ground exactly where the loops end up. Hard To Put Away- It comes with 4 step picture instructions that are simple and easy and in English and Spanish and there are tons of YouTube videos. Posted Comment: " Myself and 4 adult men couldn't get it back in the bag." If you by yourself let alone with 4 other adults cant put this tent back in the bag and cant follow any of these instructions without breaking the poles, you probably should not be out in the woods anyway. If a true emergency were to arise I am pretty sure you're not going to make it home. Quality: Boys and Girls it is a $70 tent, if you're climbing K-12 or camping in the Amazon this is not the tent for you. (I doubt any of the people complaining have the capability to do either anyway) If you're taking the family to the park for the weekend or your younger scouts for an overnight, its perfect. Experienced campers know how to work around these minor shortfalls so see above. In summary, its a great little tent for car camping or quick 2-3 night scout camping. Good for two adults or 4 younger kids. Know its limitations and accept them. Dont wait to set it up for the first time once you're in the woods. Practice makes perfect! Lastly, be careful when opening for the first time, it is under tension! Only let one ring go at a time, otherwise you may get a face full of tent and a fat lip to remind you to be more careful next time. Happy Camping and Leave NO Trace.

This isn't necessarily a 5 star tent in general, but it works exactly as promised and so far (2 weekends) it has performed as expected. And it's cool! Definitely a conversation starter at the campground. :) I bought it after a brand new, but cheap, tent failed. (One of the fiberglass poll broke the first time I tried to pitch it. And it took forever.) So I ordered this one in both the the 4-man size and 2-man size. I ended up using the larger one, so this review is for it, but now I am taking the smaller one on a cross country trip. I've set it up to test and except for the size it works exactly the same. Set-up: Yes it really sets up in seconds. Take it out of the bag and throw it in the air. It comes down ready to go. Just stake in place. I used a ground sheet under it. Total time to spread ground sheet, pitch tent, and pound in the stakes, maybe two minutes, no hassle. I used aluminum three-sided stakes instead of the simpler ones that came with it. The larger one is quite roomy inside but low -- you can't stand up but it's fine for sitting on a mattress. We had a twin air mattress and a "pool" type air mattress and there was plenty of room for gear. The sides are fairly steep so you have a lot of usable floor space. It did not leak in a light rain and was cool and well ventilated, but the weather wasn't very hot. In hot weather I would leave off the rain fly, which blocks a lot of air, and pitch it under a flying tarp. The quality of the materials and workmanship was excellent. It is not as easy to fold up as it is to pitch, but once you get the hang of it, you can yank the stakes, shake it out, fold and put back in the case in 2-3 minutes. You have to fight the coiled poles to bend it down in the right way, then it collapses into a circle and you slip the attached strap around it and you're done. I love that it travels as a flatish circle that will fit behind the seat. The 4-man version makes a 36 inch circle, the smaller one is just under 30 inches. I like to camp light -- no elaborate cooking equipment, no portable shower... so setting up the tent is 80% of making camp. I can set this up, inflate the air mattress, pull out the cooler and a couple of chairs, and be off doing something fun in 10-15 minutes. Heaven!

Yo compré la opción de 2 personas y debo recomendarla ampliamente. Me ha encantado desde que llegó. Muchas ventajas y solo dos desventajas. PROS: de verdad se abre en medio segundo. En 10 segundos estás instalado totalmente, cierra con mucha seguridad y destaca en su estabilidad en lluvia y mucho viento (mucho). Tiene muchísima ventilación así que en el día puedes quitar el toldo y secarla en minutos. Tiene doble puerta por lo que puedes cerrar ambas con privacidad o bien dejar solo la del mosquitero para tener un poco de vista exterior. Aprender a cerrarla toma 5 minutos y de ahí no vuelve a tomarte más de 1 minuto tenerla cerradas y empaquetada. Caben cómodamente dos ya partes de yoga y dos colchones de campismo, Asi como equipaje y equipo. Si mides más de 1.89 mejor dejar tus cosas en otro lado o usarlas de almohada. El paquete ocupa no más de 4 cms de alto en el piso de la cajuela y puedes dejar el resto de tus cosas encima, o bien pegarla a un extremo parada si la cargas en camioneta. Excelente. CONTRAS: el principal es la tela del piso, es el mismo material de las paredes, así que el contacto con piedras o ramas y con el peso del equipaje o la persona lo perforan, raspan o rasgan con muchísima facilidad. En cada salida he tenido que parcharle un orificio nuevo. Eso se resuelve con una lona gruesa que pongas bajo la tienda. El otro pero es que no es fácil de transportar con las manijas que tiene la bolsa, o arrastra o la llevas en vilo y te cansas. Lo ideal sería que tuviera manijas tipo “escudo” o cinta para colgar al hombro. Otro punto a considerar sin ser necesariamente un “pero” es que la altura central es mínima (89 cm) lo que impide que estés sentado cómodamente en el interior un último tema a considerar es que una vez dentro, no puedes abrir ventanas ni ventilaciones. Todas se abren desde afuera, así que quedas aislado del exterior y tienes que abrir la tienda para asomarte fuera invariablemente. Tema menor que quizá pudo resolverse con diseño. En términos generales es excelente, cómoda y muy divertida para acampar cerca del auto o donde no tengas que cargarla largas distancias. Súper práctica, discreta y fácil de poner y quitar. Cuando me la acabe de tanto uso seguramente buscaré comprarme la misma o una muy similar.

今年、使用する為に購入しました！ 確かに広げるのは簡単でいいです。 でもたたむ時はチョット大変です… あとは本番で、使用してみて耐水性がどうかな〜って感じです…

Well made tent. Very easy to open up & close. I don't need to read the instruction how to fold it back & I just got it right with common sense. The instruction can be just confusing. Not a tricky tent to open & close. Love this one.

Love Coleman this pop up is great

ATENCIÓN: Guardarla tiene su complejidad, no es nada fácil siguiendo las instrucciones dibujadas, pero viendo un video luego luego entendí como. Recomiendo mucho buscar video tutoriales para entenderle al "truco". La verdad le pongo 5 estrellas porque es lo que tiene que ser, ligera y buena para festivales o acampadas cerca del transporte. Y por muy buen precio. Y bueno, igual que otras reseñas, no la recomiendo si tienes que caminar mucho con ella porque está algo estorbosa. Se instala efectivamente de inmediato, la calidad de las estacas es media, igual bien para el precio. Y el material del piso es algo débil, sin ningún refuerzo, así que hay que tomar eso en consideración.
