Coleman Instant 4 Person Cabin Tent Review

The Instant 4 has five windows and one door and a peak center height of 4' 11, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 164 different 4 person tents we have studied. With 56 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to three other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one generally make a great choice for people that love spending lots of time outside their tent getting some air.

A nice thing about cabin tents is, that the sides of the tent are near vertical making for a generous interior, this allows for much more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much bigger than other types of tents, also, they tend to have wider floor areas, so they are great for families. In general cabin tents most often used by groups going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. That dose though make them better suited to colder nights.

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

2. Internal storage. It is good to see Coleman has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
3. More than one window. With 5 openings it is easier to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 56 square feet, the Instant 4 is smaller than quite a few of the 165 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. Only one door. With just one door to get outside in the middle of the night, it may wake other campers that are sleeping.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must keep them inside the tent.
4. 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 might not protect against heavy downpours.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of WeatherTec systems patented welded but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
6. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Instant 4, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 16 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
7. Storage Space. Due to the size of the tent, one cannot store a lot of stuff inside..

Coleman's Instant 4 tent is ideal for car camping. There are a couple of other things not noted above which, we noticed 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 Integrated rainfly doesn’t require separate assembly.
