Coleman 2-For-1 All Day 4 Person Dome Tent Review

The 2-For-1 All Day 4 has four windows and one door and a maximum center height of 7' 2, which is 25 inches bigger than the average height of the 158 other 4 person tents we have studied. With 100 square feet of room inside, it is a lot larger than some other 4-person tents, and it easily offers enough room for you and, up to three other campers all through the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, larger tents like this one are a great choice for people that like having plenty of room inside the tent for sleeping and hanging out.

Many of the fantastic things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part lightweight, making them easy to carry. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very straightforward to set up. In good weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the top. The simplest dome tent should have a square footprint, slanted walls two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is typically thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The 2-For-1 All Day can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Tons of space. With a center height of 86 inches (more than 6 feet) and a floor area of 100 square feet, the 2-For-1 All Day gives you a lot of space. Most people can stand inside the tent without ducking their heads.
3. Plenty of Headroom. With 25% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
4. Internal storage. It is nice to see Coleman has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
5. Has awnings. The awnings shelter the walls of the tent.
6. More than one window. With 4 windows it is simple to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
7. Includes FootPrint. It is not often we see a footprint included with a tent. It is strongly suggested to always use a footprint, so not having to pay extra for one is a plus.
8. Available in other sizes. Coleman has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
9. Low price. It is a great deal for a 4 person dome tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $249.99

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the 2-For-1 All Day may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you must store them inside the tent.
3. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent body. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it may not protect against heavy downpours.
4. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the 2-For-1 All Day 4, weighs 43 pounds and has a packed size of none inches. obviously it is designed for camping with a vehicle and would not be super simple to set up on your own.
5. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures website the last time we checked.
6. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the 2-For-1 All Day 4, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 43 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many qualities to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Coleman's 2-For-1 All Day 4 tent is good for car camping. There are a couple of other nice points not noted above which, were noticed and liked, while reviewing the model: Spacious front porch offers protection from rain and sun, Strong pole design is more stable, even in the wind and Versatile design lets you use the shelter with or without the tent.

With favorable ratings, a decent amount of reviews and a minimum headroom of 7' and 100 square feet of space to play with, this tent is like your own miniature home away from home. It allows you together with 3 other campers to enjoy some real quality moments camping together. We found a decent amount of pros about the tent that you can read through above.

If you came to this website looking for recommendations about this actual tent, our view is, it would make for a good buy. In case you simply happened to arrive on this page while browsing for a brand new tent having not heard of this brand or this model previously, it is probably a good idea to check out some more comparable tents.

Value for money: In so much as value for money, this tent is a cheaper than the usual cost of all the one hundred and fifty-eight, four-person tents we have taken a look at, this by itself does not make it good value for money. We also need to take a look at other factors in-depth, as we do for each tent.

When we calculate the valuation of a tent, we regard a good deal of conditions, searching for points where the tent could outperform other comparable tents and where it is not quite as good. On this occasion, with a total rating of 4.1 and the price conclusions above, one can spot that with a price point of $249.99 Coleman's 2-For-1 All Day 4 is a very good deal and incredibly priced when compared with comparable tents.

The ratings show that the build and space the tent provides were not skimped on to obtain a price well beneath the average price for similar tents. It should make an excellent choice for nearly all campers looking for an appropriate three-season dome tent to camp with, that should serve you well for years to come.
