Coleman Sundome 3 Person Dome Tent Review

The Sundome 3 has two windows and one door and a peak center height of 4' 4, which is a tiny bit bigger than the average height of the 169 other 3 person tents we have studied. With 49 square feet of room inside, it is a little bit larger than some other 3-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, up to two other campers throughout the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one are a nice choice for people that appreciate spending plenty of hours outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

A few of the great things about dome tents are, that they are under normal circumstances light, making them simple 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 can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the other sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, resulting in the water pooling on the top. The simplest dome tent will have a square footprint, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Because of the way they are made, it is generally thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

3. 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, especially on rough terrain.
4. A tad heavy for backpacking. Even though the Sundome 3, looks like a small tent, it is not probably the best choice for backpacking as it weighs 8 pounds. This is quite a lot more than many other backpacking tents
