Coleman Sundome 4 Person Dark Room Screened Dome Tent Review

The Sundome 4 Dark Room Screened has two windows and one door and a maximum center height of 4' 11, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 162 other 4 person tents we have examined With 63 square feet of room 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 recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one can generally make a very nice choice for campers that enjoy spending lots of hours outside their tent getting some air.

A few of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking not too heavy, making them easy to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to do better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the roof. The most basic dome tent will have a square floor, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is typically considered that they are best suited for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Underneath you can find a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Sundome Dark Room Screened can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground 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 stuff.
3. Has a screened area. Having a screened area that is separated from the main body of the tent is a huge plus.
4. More than one window. With 2 openings it is simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
5. Breathable. The Sundome's interior uses a mesh fabric on the inside of the tent, and this helps maximize the flow of air. With the extra ventilation, and this tent is great for use in the summer.
6. If you are looking for this actual tent, you are in luck it has been discontinued on the manufactures site, but is still available elsewhere.

10. Low price. It is a great buy for a 4 person dome tent providing this much space. Not many tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $139.99 info_outline

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 63 square feet, the Sundome 4 is smaller than quite a lot of the 163 other 4 person tents we have looked at.
2. Only one door. With just one exit to get out in the middle of the night, it may wake other people that are sleeping.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you need keep them inside the tent.
4. Rainfly does not wholly cover the tent. 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 Polyethylene, 140 g/m2 but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
6. A little heavy for backpacking. Even though the Sundome 4, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 15 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of qualities to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
8. Storage Space. Due to the size of the tent, one cannot store much stuff inside..
