Coleman Cobra Backpacking Tent, Black, Blue, 3 Person

Awesome tent! For the price, I don't think you can beat this. I bought this to share with my girlfriend on a camping trip. It's for three people, but if you have gear, you want extra room. Pros: I just love this tent! If you stake it right to the ground, I don't think any reasonable wind could blow it over. I did a crappy job the first night and it still stayed up in some pretty strong wind. VERY easy to set up. Fast as well. One really great feature I noticed is how they left room for more gear between the inner tent and outer cover. I also lit a mosquito repellent stick (one of those slightly smoking non toxic things) under the outer cover on the entrance and it kept all the bugs out. I doubt they recommend that, but it was a safe way to keep the bugs out yet get some more air flow. Just be careful to not knock it over onto any part of the tent. I'm sure it would melt a hole in it (as would any tent). It smelled nice inside the tent then too lol. I was surprised that it stayed fairly warm inside even when 6C outside at night. I measured it to be about 4C warmer inside just with body heat even in strong wind. That can be a big difference I think it is very water proof. I'd still put a tarp under it to protect the bottom of the tent against sharp rocks etc, but it seems to keep the water out pretty well! Cons: One problem is though that it gets hot inside if the sun is beating on it. The included stakes, though nicely shaped are a bit easy to bend when you have fists of ham like me beating on them with a rock into hard ground. One strap on the bottom of the tent had a sewing defect. But that was about a 5 minute repair with a needle and thread. Someday I'll come back to report how it holds up.

Fantastic tent. I use it on my own. Loads of room inside and along the sides to store stuff and two entrances means that if the wind changes you get an option of which side to exit if it's lashing down. Only issue is until you get the tension right, the zips can be a little tricky to open and close - don't force it or you might be looking at a broken tent. Mine has stuck once and I forced it a little and the zip got ahead of itself. A bit of patience and the good workmanship of the stitching allowed me to get the zip back down and working correctly. I didn't have a problem with the tent pegs that others don't seem to like. Use the proper tools getting them in and out and you won't have a problem. Do it by hand and you might injure yourself - but no one puts these in by hand do they? Massive footprint - give yourself half again the space you think you need and it's great and make sure you fully open it out when you pitch - first time I had it probably half a foot too far in - on either side - it extends to be taut and to get the rain moving away nicely. Doesn't get too much condensation inside and nicely ventilated with the three airways (Front, back and a little unzipping window-like mesh in one of the inner doors). I'd recommend getting yourself a cheap tarp to put underneath and when you pack it, take the pegs out, then take the poles out and let one side fold over, then the other - that way you can unpack it and pitch it while leaving the inner and outer together. First time you do it- it is a bit confusing what is where, but a few pitches and unpitches and you'll get it. Great tent. Massive space. No way you'd get three in it. I wouldn't want to be in it with someone else personally but enough room to swing a cat.

It pitches quickly and easily, the inner is attached to the flysheet so you can get out of the rain very quickly. The poles are aluminium (not fibreglass as some websites say) so I expect they will last. The footprint for the tent is fairly large but once you've put it up a couple of times you know where it will fit when laying it out. The pegs are light and sturdy but the design can make them a little tricky to retrieve if they sink level with the ground without tie to pull them out with. The space is very impressive for the weight, it will just fit a double inflatable mattress inside so getting three adults in on camping mats would be a doddle. It is a tunnel tent design, the only area it differs from my lighter, two man tent is in space (honestly, compared to my two man Banshee this thing is cavernous) and having two entrances. The two porches are also a decent size, plenty of space there for leaving your boots and bags in which helps keep the inside clean and intact. There is good headroom too, I'm 6'3" and can comfortably move around and sit up in it. It has the usual side pouches for storage, as well as a hook in the headlining for a light, all pretty standard fare but useful all the same. The weight isn't featherlight, but it's easily portable. I'd say that the bag provided is best suited to putting the tent in a vehicle, you could backpack with it but you would be better off getting a proper compression sack and carrying the poles and pegs separately. One person could carry it well enough if they wanted a palatial solo camping experience and didn't mind the extra bulk and kilo or two for the privilege. Given the size of the pitched tent two people could easily split it between their packs where it would be a comparable weight to two, lighter one person tents. Given the room inside you wouldn't need to be cheek to jowl with one another whilst sleeping either. Shared between three people I don't think you could get a much lighter setup without spending significantly more. The tent is absolutely waterproof, my first night in it was a total washout. Hours of heavy rain, not a hint of ingress through any of the seams. I haven't had any issues with condensation in the tent either, but that really is dependent on temperature and humidity. The vent design is basic but effective, not much else to be said there. The floor's fabric seems sturdy enough, and no damp has made it through yet, but a tarp for a groundsheet is never a bad idea for extending a tent's lifespan. Overall, it's a fantastic tent when you consider the price point, space, weight and versatility. I'm no fan of campsites but I can see why massive, multi-room tents make sense if you're next to your car, for wild campers there are lighter, smaller tents out there. This tent is spacious yet light enough for both settings whilst not being quite perfect for either, however it is considerably cheaper than any specialised tent I've seen around. If you think you might like to try camping I think this tent might be ideal, it is cheap enough to be worth a punt whilst good enough to make sure that if you don't enjoy the experience it wont be the tent's fault. I bought this on a lightning deal as my children wanted to try camping, given that my lightweight two man tent is a decidedly one person shelter with me in it I needed something larger. For this purpose it has been brilliant, and whilst it may not be the best tent for everything (or anything) it is a phenomenal all rounder. I honestly cannot fault it for the price, the only thing preventing it from getting five stars is that it doesn't excel at anything in particular. Whilst it may not be the best possible tent for most campers I am confident most campers would be happy enough in it.

This tent is super easy to put together, and very sturdy. The 3 person variant is relatively high, and could comfortably fit 2 casually trekking or camping, or 3 if they wanted to conserve packing space. For one, it’s luxury. In the day it isn’t too hot, and has good ventilation, and in the evening even when frosty out, the dual layer means the inside is nice and dry and doesn’t feel dewy. Has great side areas for keeping shoes etc. Easy to pack and very light weight. Sometimes people say things are good “for the price” and yes this tent is good for the price but also it’s just a really good tent!

I've had this tent on a number of camps now and I'm very happy with my purchase. First, the good things.. It pitches really easily and can be taken down and packed away just as easily. It has massive amount of space, this is the mansion of 3 man tents. It completely protects from the wind and rain. The inner mesh does a great job at keeping the bugs at bay. The twin doors are perfect with two large vestibules which will easily hold all your gear. This tent is warm so I'm looking forward to pitching it in colder weather to see how I get on. Now the down side: The vents don't really work allowing condensation to build up. I've found myself having to leave the fly open a shade to allow more airflow. Because of the distance between the inner and outer, I have to say that the condensation didn't affect my comfort. Myself and contents stayed dry at all times. Suppose nearly all tents have condensation issues and this isn't bad by any means. The tent pegs are super light but also super small. Perfect if pitching on grass but useless in a forest where the ground is much softer. I had to use my very large groundhog pegs. Now my biggest gripe, the zips, outer zips to be precise! When pitched correctly, there is too much tension on the fly sheet to zip the doors. And the zips tend to snag on the seam. You can sort this by adjusting the main pole and slacking off the guy ropes but it's a pain in the butt. On my last outing one zip snagged causing me to have to use the other door to unsnag it from the outside. So, all in all, a really good tent, not great, but really good. If you want a better tent, it's gonna cost you a lot more money than you'll pay for this.

Firstly, it's small, light and compact when packed away. Once set up (easy to do) there's a lot of space inside lengthways so items can go at the top/bottom. The two side entrances are practical and there's a sizable area between the inner and out where large rucksacks can go (face down with the waterproof covers on though as there's no groundsheet in this space). The quality of the tent seems very high. The poles seem strong too which is nice (this tent is a replacement for another tent which didn't survive!) It also has handy pockets inside. I used it on a two day camping wild-camping trip in the Lake District and it stood the test in some pretty strong wind and heavy rain. One thing to note: I used it as a two man and it was very spacious, but it would obviously be more cosy (and warm!) with three. We opted for the three man version because it's only 900 grams heavier than the two man but when used for two it is spacious and the space outside for bags is very useful. Overall, I'd recommend this tent and I've been very pleased with it for: its space (I'm tall!), side space for bags, ease of setting up, how compact and light it is when packed away.

I bought this tent for my cycle touring, very glad i did!. I tested the tent in very adverse weather, rain and wind was persistent all night, the tent stood up to the wind extremely well and not a drop of water got in. Having searched online for a tent of this spec, nothing comes near it given the great price i paid. I purchased the three man for the additional space as i like my gear to be inside the tent where i can access my paniers without having to open the door, however the space between the flysheet and the internal doors is generous and is great for muddy footware. Like most of the reviews written here, i cannot see how you will accommodate three people comfortably, for the slight additional weight i would recommend the three man.I like the fact that Coleman have thought about the realistic length and height of the tent, this makes the enviroment feel less claustophobic should you have to spend more time in the tent that is necessary e.g the weather! So there`s the best bits , just a few negs- I had to remove all the guy rope tentioners and refit them as they were fitted upside down !. The exterior door zips are very tight which can be a slight problem particularly when you want to close it from the inside, don`t let this put you off buying the tent as i think it may improve with use. So go ahead and buy with confidence, highly recommended.

This is a beautiful, spacious, light tent. Cycled around Europe with it on the back of my bike. Unlike most 3 men, you can fit 3 people in... if you have thin sleeping mats. However I would recommend this tent for 2 people if you want to be comfortable and have a super swell time. My cousin and I used it for several weeks this summer, and every day it was easy to set up, even in the pooring rain. The two flappy outdoor spaces are fab for wet equipment, and anything you don't need inside the tent. I left most of my luggage in this outside space. Just great tent. No leaking, no fuss. Can sit up hapily in it. space by your feet and head for luggage (I'm 5'9') Would recommend

Buen producto y llego en excelente condiciones

Tienda muy liguera. La tienda es muy fácil de montar y de transportar, con mucha capacidad. Muy adecuada para la montaña.

Das Zelt wurde 2 Wochen an der französischen Atlantikküste getestet. Das verpackte Zelt wiegt sehr wenig und lässt sich auch in mittelgroße Rucksäcke verstauen. Die Optik ist gut, das Zelt sieht hochwertig aus. Das Zelt lässt sich alleine gut aufbauen, zu zweit geht es allerdings noch schneller (höchstens 5 Minuten). Das Außenzelt wird zuerst aufgebaut, die zwei Stangen rein, Heringe rein: fertig. Das Innenzelt hängt im Außenzelt, dadurch kann es auch im Regen aufgebaut werden ohne nass zu werden. Die mitgelieferte Anleitung ist Mist, wird aber auch nicht benötigt. Das Zelt lässt sich von beiden Seiten öffnen, sowohl am Außen- als am Innenzelt. Damit kann man das Zelt in Sekunden durchlüften. Dieses ist auch nötig an heißen Tagen, da es Wärme gut speichert (vor allem an kalten Tagen toll, da man es nachts noch länger warm im Zelt hat). Platz ist für zwei Personen (mit Gepäck und Isomatten) reichlich, nur sitzen wird schwierig, aber dafür ist diese Art Zelt auch nicht gedacht. Für 3 Personen mit Gepäck ist das Zelt fast zu eng. Zwischen Innen- und Außenzelt ist genug Raum für weiteres Gepäck und kleine Kühlboxen (das Zelt spannt sich bei der Box jedoch leicht, was aber nicht weiter schlimm ist). Was ein bisschen stört, ist dass man das Außenzelt teilweise aus der Stange aushängen muss, damit der Reißverschluss (des Außenzeltes) richtig zugeht, jedoch ist das Zelt immer noch genügend gespannt wenn man dies tut. Sonne, Wind und Regen (ein Tag erst Niesel- und dann Starkregen) konnten dem Zelt nichts anhaben, durch seine Form ist es speziell bei starkem Wind gut geeignet. Das Material des Zeltes ist hochwertig, der Boden erscheint etwas dünn, hat aber prima gehalten und wirkte sehr reißfest. Die Heringe sind OK und wirken recht robust, bei mir sind keine verbogen (war allerdings auch nur ein Sandboden, ich denke bei harter Erde könnte man zusätzlich noch stabilere Heringe kaufen). Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden und kann das Zelt nur weiterempfehlen. Es ist vor allem sehr leicht und dennoch extrem robust, wodurch es sich prima für Fahrradtouren und Wanderungen eignet, auch weil es so schnell auf- und abgebaut ist: Ein gutes Mittelklassen-Zelt für wenig Geld!

Tente facile à monter; volume suffisant pour y ranger les sacs à dos et mettre les chaussures au sec dans les abscisses. Je la conseille plutôt pour 2 personnes. Son poids de 3kg peux être dissuasif; mes en rangeant la toile de 2,2kg dans un sac à dos et l'armature de 800g dans l'autre sac, cela équivaut à une ultra light pro d'un concurrent avec quand même le double de volume ! Nous ne l'avons pas testé sous la pluie, mais les matériaux semble de bonnes qualités.

Cercavo una tenda da viaggio itinerante proprio così. Abbastanza leggera per il trasporto zaino in spalla di più gioeni., Facile da montare e di ottime prestazioni . Ho la versione 3posti dove si riescono metter comodamente 3 materassini gonfiabili e per persone di altezza fino al 1.75m. rimane molto spazio, per riporre zaini o altro materiale sul fondo e lato testa. La" verandina" su entrambi gli ingressi copre comunque bene se si vogliono tenere fuori scarpe e zaini e volendo anche uno o due cani di medie dimensioni. Ottima tenda, resistente al vento abbastanza forte ...sulla pioggia ancora non l'ho testata ma mi sembra buona.
