Pros & Cons
Pros
The coleman skydome camping tent with dark room technology is a game-changer for camping enthusiasts. The darkroom technology is amazing. Waking up in the morning can be a little disorienting when you open up the screen window.
This tent is probably the heaviest tent i've ever owned. It fits in the trunk of my sedan with all of my other camping gear. The poles are also used to roll up the tent together with the rain fly when packing it away.
Cons
The tent is poorly manufactured. It's near impossible to setup. I really dislike how it had no center hub for the tent poles.
This is the most regretful purchase i’ve ever made. This “tent” is the cheapest feeling and looking thing i've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. It is very cheaply made.
With the tarp on you can't really get good airflow with only one window. After a few uses water will probably seep in around the tent seams. There were also micro holes in the rain canopy that could be seen through the daylight.
There is only one rope per side for tensioning the bottom of the rainfly away from the tent. After 1 campout i saw few seams not completely or weakly stitched. I’m not over tightening, it’s just not a fabric that is suitable to be a rainfly.
Terrible zipper. Zipping and unzipping the door was also a struggle.

This was the 5th listed and by far the cheapest.
Shipping
Kept us safe and sheltered for a 4 day camp trip.
I ordered & sent back several tents before i got this one.
Packaging/appearance
And yes, i followed the instructions given to pack the tent back up.
Pack down was about double that in trying to fit the attached poles inside the folded tent in such a way so as the whole packag... Read More
On a side note, it would be very interesting to see how they pack so much stuff in the bag at the factory.
Competitiveness
This is a replacement for an older model coleman 8-person tent.
I have backpacking tents that cost a heck of a lot more money but my daughter was going to be sharing the tent with me so i wan... Read More
