Coleman Longs Peak 6 Person Fast Pitch Dome Tent Review

The Longs Peak 6 Fast Pitch has one window and one door and a peak center height of 6' 0, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 117 various 6 person tents we have studied. With 100 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to five other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, larger tents like this one are a nice choice for groups who appreciate having loads of room inside of their tent.

Many of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, 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 good weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular footprint, slanted walls a couple of poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is usually thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

CONS

1. Sensitive to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Longs Peak may not do best 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 want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 100 square feet, the Longs Peak 6 is smaller than quite a few of the 125 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. Lacking in Headroom. With 9% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some campers.
4. Only one room. The Longs Peak is suggested for 6 campers, many other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
5. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you must store them inside the tent.
6. Rainfly does not totally 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 rain.
7. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of Polyethylene D but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
8. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of attributes to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
