Coleman Hooligan 4 Person Modified Dome Tent Review

The Hooligan 4 has one window and one door and a peak center height of 4' 10, which is a tiny bit less than the average height of the 158 different 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 throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents like this one often make a great choice for campers that welcome spending loads of time outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

A few of the great points about modified dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them easy to carry. In near all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the modified dome type. They are usually, 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 suggested.

Modified Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the other types of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The simplest modified dome tent will have a square footprint, slanted walls two or more poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.
