Coleman Montana 6 Person Modified Dome Tent Review

The Montana 6 has three windows and one door and a peak center height of 5' 8, which is 13 inches less than the average height of the 117 various 6 person tents we have examined With 84 square feet of room inside, it is a lot smaller than some other 6-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to five other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents like this one generally make an ideal choice for campers who enjoy spending lots of time outside of their tent exploring.

A few of the fantastic points about modified dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the modified dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Modified Dome tents are without a doubt the most common of all the different sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the top of the tent. The most basic modified dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, slanted sides two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is usually considered that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Montana 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 want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 84 square feet, the Montana 6 is smaller than quite a lot of the 125 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. Lacking in Headroom. With 13% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some people.
4. Only one room. The Montana is suggested for 6 people, 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 rain etc, you must keep them inside the tent.
6. Rainfly does not wholly cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it may not protect against heavy rain.
7. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of steel & fiberglass. Using even some fiberglass with a big tent like the Montana 6 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 PE (Polyethylene) tub style welded floor but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
