Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957–the birth of the modern cooler–and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.pstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes, Tunnels and Sacks/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p

Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent CustomerReview

Used it three times camping on Boston Harbor Islands (fun!). this tent sets up really easily, just one pole to thread through a sleeve. Doing it myself it took 15 minutes the first time, just five minutes the most recent time. Sets up in the dark easily. The tent is basically a ’screen tent’ with a waterproof floor. You can use it as a screen tent, to kcep bugs off you. If you add the fly, it becomes a robust standard tent which should protect you from driving rain. br /I am 6 foot 8 incheds tall (203cm)and weigh 310lbs, I fit in this very comfortably.br /This would not be a good choice for winter camping, because the fly and the inner screen tent have a lot of ventalation, perfect for summer/fall but too cold for winter use.br /Th is tent is a little too heavy for distance backpacking. It is not a “heavy” tent but there are lighter tents (much more expensive too)which sould suit you better for a long hike of several days. The tent is also slightly big when in the robust handy case it comes with. It is about 25 inches long, eight by eight inches in circumferance. Perfect for a Harley or car camping.br /The zippers and sewing seem good quality. br /If I lost this tent, I would buy another one. I camp a lot, and have cimbed every 4,000ft peak in New England except Katadhain. I know my tents, this is a good one and a great value.

Coleman Hooligan 3 Tent CustomerReview

We’ve used this tent (2 of us) for car camping half a dozen times and it’s OK for 2 people, but it would definitely be crowded for 3.br /br /This tent is quite easy and fast to set up and tear down; once I did it once I never needed to look at the instructions again (and in a nice touch, the instructions are printed on fabric which is sown inside the carrying case – so you won’t lose them or wreck them).br /br /We’ve used it in the rain once and stayed nice and dry.br /br /The interior has enough room for a queen air mattress with a little space to spare (maybe 8″ on both sides and at the foot). Not much in the way of conveniences inside – there’s a smallish pocket hanging on each side, and that’s it. It would have been nice if there was a loop in the top to hang a lantern, but there isn’t.br /br /The “vestibule” is nice but not perfect. On the plus side, it increases privacy; even when the outer door is fully open, you can’t see the entire interior of the tent from outside. It’s also of course a good place to keep your stuff that won’t fit inside the tent. But on the down side it makes getting in and out of the tent more awkward, and stuff in the vestibule is not protected from critters or water flowing along the ground. It’s also worth noting that the way the tent is designed, you can’t put on the fly without also setting up the vestibule – otherwise you end up with the front of the fly just kind of flopped down in front of the tent entrance.br /br /Overall the construction, design, and materials used in this tent seem good, with three exceptions:br /1) The stakes are thin and too easily bent.br /2) There’s a spot where the zipper for the inner door is really hard to pull because of excess tension; it’s no fun to have to fight with a sticky zipper when you’re being pursued by bloodthirsty mosquitoes, and my guess is this is the first thing that will wear out.br /3) You’ll never get the tent rolled up as small as it was when new, but the carrying case was clearly designed to handle that size and nothing more. Squeezing everything back in is a chore but doable.

Coleman Hooligan 4 Tent CustomerReview

I bought this tent for my trip to Yellowstone. I loved how I could have it set up in under 10 minutes and that it only took one person. This allowed my friend to get the food cooked faster upon our late arrival to the campsite. It’s a good quality tent as far as the material, the zippers work well and don’t snag. I love the vestibule and how you can keep shoes and other gear out of the tent, yet protected from the elements. The all mesh tent body has great pros and not so good cons. br /Pros: The first time I used it was Father’s Day weekend. My 5 yr. old nephew and I stayed in it without the rainfly on as it was 70+ degrees overnight (yes even in northern Wisconsin we have great summers). The mesh was a great feature as it allowed us to watch the stars and millions of fireflies which had my chatter nephew speechless. Great experience! ; D You have the feeling of sleeping right out under the stars without the annoying bugs . The size of the tent is great not too big that the tent is annoying to pack or find enough room to setup, yet not too small so that 3 people and a good bit of gear can still fit in it. 4 people really do fit comfortably. The base of the tent is made of good quality/ durable material. It’s a little noisy but I’d take noise over a leaky floor any day. br /Cons: The support sleeves that the poles slide into are made of the same material as the tent body. It’d be better to make these with a more rugged/ durable material as the metal female ends of the poles have rubbed holes through the material in the 4 months i’ve owned the tent. Also the sleeves made a good space for earwigs to crawl into as earwigs are a common nuisance in northern wisconsin. It’d be better and easier if there were plastic tabs to place over the poles like other tents I’ve seen in place of the sleeves. Also like another customer mentioned there aren’t any loops or hooks to hang a lantern/ flashlight or fan from the top of the tent. Also with the tent body almost entirely mesh, it allows too much air flow on cold night even with the rain fly on. Our first night in Yellowstone the temperature dropped down to 38 degrees and this was in the middle of August. It made for a really cold night. It would have been nice to be able to zip something over the door to protect from the big space of the vestibule where cold air was gathering. The other sides of the tents were close enough that it didn’t allow much air flow in, but something over the door would definitely be a nice addition. The stakes are light which make it great for packing, but they also bend pretty easily, I think about 5 of them are bent out of whack already.br /br /A few minor adjustments and this tent good tent would be amazing! I know I had a lot of cons, but I really do love this tent. I’ve just been bringing an extra blanket for insulation and wear my snowboarding baselayers under my sweats at night. Like I said I’ve only had the tent for 4 mos. but I’ve used it at least 12 times. I think that speaks for itself. A great tent, easily packed, easily assembled and offers great versatility for weather and a great price with fast shipping from Amazon!
