Despite the tent’s versatility, it is made with Coleman’s exclusive WeatherTec system helping guard you from foul weather and nasty storms. WeatherTec tents are made of a coated polyester fabric coalesced with anti-wicking thread, zippers and webbing, all designed to keep you dry as a bone when the rain comes down. The tent’s welded waterproof floor and inverted floor seams amplify the water resistance by covering the needle holes inside the tent and away from the elements. Coleman has tested these WeatherTec tents by exposing them to a rain room that imitates nasty downpours, and also to a wind machine proficient of blowing hurricane force gusts.

The tent’s exterior is made with heavy-duty 150D construction that’s twice as thick as Coleman’s standard tent fabric. Along with the fully taped rain fly ridges, the tent can even keep you dry without needing another rain fly. The seven windows and two doors supply very good ventilation and 360-degree views.

Negative Reviews

One significant downside that a number of people pointed to and that is the fact that this tent does not have a rain fly. With no a rain fly you cannot have the windows open for ventilation when it is raining and it can be pretty hot and humid inside the tent.

This is NOT for backpacking – it’s weighty. And the metal L-shaped tent pegs are not enough to hold up to extended exposure to wind.

Positive Reviews

One of the selling points of this Coleman Instant 8- Person 2- Room Tent is its ability to be set up or collapsed in under a minute, and is made of a hard-wearing material that is twice as thick as Coleman’s standard tent fabric and uses Coleman’s exclusive WeatherTec system.

Another wonderful feature is the extra room inside and the room divider is a nice added touch. You can actually stand up comfortably in this tent.  With a height of 6 feet 5 inches and vertical walls, you can really live in this tent, no need to crawl and slouch all day.

Two doors and seven windows mean plenty of ventilation and practically a 360-degree view.

Conclusion

The Coleman Instant 8- Person Two Room Tent is very well built.  Overall, we give this tent our recommendation. Lightweight, user-friendly yet flexible for the user’s needs – the tent never failed several amateur and experienced campers.

Durable, self-supporting, combination steel/fiberglass frame with clips and pole sleeves, ring and pin assemblage make set up simple. Two D-shaped doors makes private entry possible into every room and have big #8 zippers for stability and rain protection. Six large zippered mesh windows open for visibility and airflow. A 75D StormShield® polyester fly is also integrated and a detachable awning that shadows an area next to the tent of almost 8.5′ x 5′.

Bathtub-style flooring that wrap up the sides to prevent water from sipping in; nickel sliders plus self-sealing zippers are great features. There are also factory-taped chief seams to seal out harsh weather.

Negative Reviews
The only problem is that the poles that go along the top side of each window have broken after just 3 uses.The awning needs some work (that’s why I gave 4 stars instead of 5). It’s tied to attachment points over a door and held by poles in the corners.

It’s heavy! It weighs a ton but the bag it comes in can handle the weight without tearing.

The poles are stout but heavy. This isn’t really a big issue. You aren’t buying this for backpacking; it’s for car camping so the weight to me isn’t an issue.

Positive Reviews
The tent has a great height. You can stand up comfortably in this tent and move around without needing to crawl.  And it comes with a divider: not a zipper, but it hangs on hooks providing some division.

Setting up is very easy.

Most seams are tape sealed.

The awning provides coverage in the case of rain when going in/out of the tent. It does look quaint and should give you enough shade.The panels in the roof are additional great touch to be able to zip in a small screen to obstruct the sun at daytime and open them for ventilation at night.

The zippers on both sides for power cords are a great addition. The tent comes in a bag with handles that seems reasonably robust although it is made out of plain cloth.

Conclusion
We highly recommend this tent for anyone looking for a large family camping tent that can hold your family and stand up to difficult weather conditions.

Enjoy immediate protection at the campsite from heat of the sun, pouring rain, and insects too with the Coleman 6 Person Instant Tent. Built tough, this tent features hardwearing 150D fabric walls and roof, giving you a shell almost twice as thick as usual tent material. A fully taped tent gets rid of the need for a separate rain fly, simplifying setup even more. The tent’s roomy 10′ x 9′ footprint presents plenty of space to sleep six happily and fits two queen airbeds.

The roof vents come with zippers on them, and velcro on the top flap, and on the top and bottom of the prop. You can open the roof vents inside by simply unzipping the screen and raising the prop. And close it simply by lowering the prop, and Velcro the top flap to the bottom of the prop.

Negative Reviews

On the weak side, the Coleman only comes with two interior pockets, neither of which was large enough. Another point of worry is the absence of rain-fly.

The Instant tent is quiet heavy for something portable.

When the windows are opened all the way there are no ties to hold them back. If you don’t get them tucked in just right they fall in your face when you are lying on an air mattress.

And a better door system (one zipper instead of two) and better zipper quality would make this tent perfect.

Positive Reviews

First time out of the box it could easily be set up in 60 seconds or less, and it comes down just as easily. Fitting it back in the original bag took a couple minutes, but not any more than other tents in the market.

It has more than enough ventilation; a large window at each side, the back has one bigger window, the front door has a widow too, and another next to the door. Plus there are two roof vents with zippers on them plus a rigid “prop” thing.

There’s enough room for me to stand up fully. It was also very sturdy, even in windy conditions. Everything stayed dry through a light drizzle and damp conditions.

Conclusion

All in all, this is a very good tent with no major problems, highly recommended for both amateur and experienced campers alike.
