Coleman Cimarron 8 Person Dome Tent Review

The Cimarron 8 has two windows and one door and a peak center height of 6' 2, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 62 various 8 person tents we have examined With 112 square feet of space inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 8-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, up to seven other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, larger tents similar to this one can generally make a nice choice for campers who appreciate having loads of room inside the tent.

Some of the fantastic things about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking lightweight, making them easy to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very easy to set up. In calm 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 different types of tents you will see 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 roofs, allowing the rain to pool on the top. The most basic dome tent should have a rectangular floor, sloped walls two or more poles which converge in the middle of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is usually thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

Below you can browse a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Cimarron 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 nice to see Coleman has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
3. More than one window. With 2 windows it is easier to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
4. Low price. It is a great buy for a 8 person dome tent providing this much space. Not a lot of tents available on the market provide this level of quality for only $169.99

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Cimarron 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 need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not roomy. With a floor area of 112 square feet, the Cimarron 8 is smaller than quite a few of the 64 other 8 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 factor for some people.
4. Only one room. The Cimarron is suggested for 8 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 completely cover the tent body. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy downpours.
7. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of steel & fiberglass. Using even some fiberglass with a big tent like the Cimarron 8 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
8. 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, especially on rough terrain.
9. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have heaps of things to rave about. The sloping walls do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

Coleman's Cimarron 8 tent is good for car camping. There are a few other cool things not already mentioned above which, were noticed and liked, while reviewing the model: WeatherTec system's welded corners and inverted seams keep water from getting in, Integrated rainfly improves airflow and Angled windows let in light and keep out rain.

With good ratings, and headroom of 6' and 112 square feet of space to play with, this tent is like your very own modest residence. It will enable you together with 6 other friends to enjoy some really enjoyable time camping together. We found a decent amount of pros about the tent that you can look at above.

If you came to this website looking for suggestions about this actual tent, we consider, it should make for a good acquisition. If you just happened to land on this website while browsing for a brand new tent having never heard of this manufacture or this tent model before, it is perhaps a good idea to check out some more comparable tents also.

Value for money: When thinking about value for money, this tent is undoubtedly more competitive than the usual cost of all the sixty-two, eight-person tents we have taken a look at, all alone this does not make it excellent value for money. One should also take a look at other factors in-depth, as we do for each tent.

When we calculate the score of an individual tent, we consider a lot of things, finding things where the tent could exceed other near-identical tents and where it is coming up short. In this case, with a total rating of 4.1 and the price details above, we can spot that with a price point of $169.99 The Cimarron 8 is a decent bargain and astonishingly priced when compared with similar tents.

The overall score shows that the quality and dimensions the tent provides were not skimped on to obtain a price well below the usual price for similar tents. It is also worth thinking about the fact that it is marked down by 0% from the manufactures suggested retail price. It could make an awesome choice for nearly all campers looking for a comfy three-season dome tent to go camping in, that will serve you well for years to come.
