Coleman Sundome 2 Person Dome Tent Review

The Sundome 2 has two windows and one door and a maximum center height of 4' 0, which is a tiny bit smaller than the average height of the 243 other 2 person tents we have studied. With 35 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit larger than some other 2-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, another camper during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one generally make a suitable choice for people that welcome spending loads of hours outside exploring the great outdoors.

Some of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking light, making them simple to carry. In nearly all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very straightforward 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 common of all the various types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top of the tent. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular floor, sloped walls two or more poles which cross in the middle of the roof. Due to their construction, it is generally thought of that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 people.

CONS

1. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you need store them inside the tent.
2. Rainfly does not totally 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.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of Polyethylene, 140 g/m2 but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Sundome 2, looks like a small tent, it is not ideal for backpacking as it weighs 7 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of things to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
