Coleman Octagon 98 8 Person Full Fly Cabin Tent Review

The Octagon 98 8 Full Fly has two windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 6' 10, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 63 other 8 person tents we have examined With 169 square feet of room inside, it is considerably larger than some other 8-person tents, and it easily offers enough room for you and, up to seven other campers all through the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, larger tents similar to this one can make a superb choice for groups who like having loads of space inside the tent for sleeping and hanging out.

One of the many advantages of cabin tents is, that the walls are near vertical creating a sizeable interior, this gives you much more headroom at the sides of the tent, making it feel much larger than a dome tent, they also, have a larger sleeping area making them great for families. In general cabin tents will be used by families 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 cooler nights. Lot’s of cabin tents have more than just one room to stay in, just like the Coleman Octagon 98 two-room tent

CONS

1. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
2. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of steel & fiberglass. Using even some fiberglass with a big tent like the Octagon 98 8 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
3. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Octagon 98 8, weighs 41 pounds and has a packed size of 33.23 x 11.57 x 11.5 inches. evidently it is designed for camping with a car and would not be super simple to set up on your own.
4. 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.
5. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures site the last time we looked.
