Coleman Aspenglen 4 Person Instant Dome Tent Review

The Aspenglen 4 Instant has two windows and one door and a maximum center height of 4' 4, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 158 other 4 person tents we have studied. With 63 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to three other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one can generally make an ideal choice for people that like spending plenty of hours outside the tent exploring.

Some of the fantastic things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them easy to carry around. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in storms than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the top. The most basic dome tent will have a rectangular floor, sloped walls a couple of poles which converge in the center of the roof. Because of their construction, it is typically considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Below you can find an account of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Aspenglen Instant 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 floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Internal storage. It is good to see Coleman has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your gear.
3. More than one window. With 2 openings it is easier to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
4. Available in other sizes. Coleman has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
5. Low price. It is a great deal for a 4 person dome tent providing this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $119.99

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 63 square feet, the Aspenglen 4 is smaller than quite a lot of the 159 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 9% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some campers.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
4. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it may not protect against heavy downpours.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of PE (Polyethylene) tub style welded floor but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
6. Discontinued: Unfortunately this particular tent has been discontinued on the manufactures website and is not available elsewhere, that we are aware of.
7. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Aspenglen 4, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 11 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
8. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
9. Storage Space. Due to the size of the tent, one cannot store a lot of stuff inside..

Coleman's Aspenglen 4 Instant tent is ideal for bicycle & motorbike camping. Here are a few other points not noted above which, were found and liked, while researching the model: The included rainfly and the WeatherTec system with its patented welded floors and inverted seams will help you stay dry., Storage pockets to keep your gear organized and 1-year limited warranty.

Value for money: In terms of value for your money, this tent is significantly more competitive than the normal cost of all the one hundred and fifty-eight, four-person tents we have looked at, this alone does not make it good value for money. We also need to look at other things in detail, as we do for each tent.

When we determine the ratings of an individual tent, we study plenty of conditions, finding points where the tent could shine against other similar tents and where it is coming up short.
