Coleman PEAK1 Premium Backpacking Tent, Waterproof Material with 2,000mm Waterhead Ranking can Stand up to Winds as much as 45 MPH; Extensive Door, Star View Window, & Footprint Included, 1/2/3/4/6 Individual Tent

Very good for three and light
Only thing that I don’t like that the gate on both side open to out or in the wrong side and is not enough to cover the gate

Great 1 Person Tent
This is a great 1 person tent. For backpacking or biking. I bike to campgrounds and stay over. This tent is smaller and lighter than the one I had been taking. This will be perfect. Enough room without being heavy and huge.Setup: I set this up in my living room. It comes with a footprint which is great. Another nice touch is that there is one corner that is red on the tent, footprint, and rainfly. They all match up so you get the orientation correct. The instructions are attached to the tent storage bag which is nice. The only issue I had was the ridge pole. It’s not obvious where it goes and how it goes. Turns out it goes OVER the main tent poles and into two grommets. I had to look at pictures on the Coleman site to figure this out. The  rainfly needs to be staked out to work so my pics are a bit weird since I didn’t stake it.Tent: I’m 6 foot 2 inches and there was plenty of room for me and some gear. The Star Window / Vent is nice. It’s on the end where your feet go, but you can still see out. The tent is really well made and the quality shows. On second thought, It seems like you can sleep with your feet on either end. Just pick an end.Take down: It folded up really nicely. I was able to fold it to the width of the pole bag and then roll it up. It fit back in the back no issue. You then roll down the top of the bag and click the buckles together to keep it closed. With a little practice setup and takedown will be very fast.Overall this is a high quality tent that is durable and light. It is fun and will upgrade my adventures!Notes:- Ridge Pole Goes OVER the main tent poles- Red Corners of Footprint, Tent, and Rainfly all line up. (Great Idea!)- Instructions are attached to the bag but are not perfect.- Under 5lbs- Star View Window / Vent- Free standing but needs to be staked out

I have to be honest, it has been years and years since I’ve been camping. We have to go all the way back to my scouting days to find that last time. Yea, that long ago lol. So I figured I’d give camping a try again in my older age.I ordered this 6 person PEAK1 dome tent by Coleman because hey, it’s Coleman! I was looking for a quality product that would be easy setup, have lots of room, and easy to pack away.There’s only three sets of poles, two criss cross and the third holds wide open the doorway opening. The poles are colour coded to match the corresponding clips that attach to them. Don’t forget the little velcro attachments, there’s not many. The stakes are adequate but personally I do wish they were longer.The setup is easy. First lay out the ground tarp, you will find in one corner the tab is red and is labeled which side goes up. This is to make it easy for when laying out your tent to have everything matching. Just have the tents red corner tab positioned at the ground tarps red corner tab. Attach the poles to erect and stake down. Then pull the waterproof fly overtop lining up the corners and use the clips to attach. From here finish staking down all the tie-downs and you’re all set.There’s plenty of room inside. I wouldn’t so much call it a six person tent as I would call it a four person + your gear tent, I like having room to move. Laying down inside in either direction I had space between me and the tent walls, and I stand six feet tall.As for gear, one thing I am a little sad Coleman has overlooked is some sort of loop in the middle to hang a battery powered lantern. There is a small triangular mesh holder which gets attached in the ceiling, but no loop.As it isn’t quite camping season, I haven’t yet spent a night in it. But after I set it up at home I’ve left it set up for a number of days. It’s been sunny, windy and rainy. Actually it’s been a few days of rain here, some very heavy, which has been a great test for the waterproofness. I am happy to report I have found no water inside whatsoever. That is awesome considering the amount of rain it just endured.I can’t wait to go try this tent out now. Come on summer, you can’t get here fast enough! 5/5 stars.

We’ve had the Coleman Peak1 4 person tent for about 6 weeks. We took it camping a couple of times and have it now set up in our backyard for the kids to enjoy.Generally, tents are sized for maximum number of people that can squeeze in, so if you need a tent for 4 adults plus gear, you should be looking at the 6 person versions. That said this 4 person tent is very spacious. 4 people should fit easily without the usual jigsaw puzzle sleeping arrangement. For 2 adults and 2 children this tent is huge.We upgraded from a 4 person Eureka 3 season dome tent and thanks to the much increased height and almost vertical walls the Coleman offers significantly more living space.Our current setup includes a queen sized inflatable airbed and a foam sleeping pad on the side. This still leaves plenty of space for our clothes and other tent necessities.The tent inside is mostly mesh. The non mesh fabric only extends about a foot at the front and slopes up on the sides to about the middle of the rear wall. On the back wall the floor fabric is brought up in a triangular shape to create the “Peak” that is a design feature of the this tent line. The large mesh area combined with the roof side vents in the rain fly make the tent feel very airy. The extra ventilation does mean that when there is a cold breeze, it’s colder in the tent than in our Eureka which has non mesh walls, but it should be very beneficial during hot summer nights.Built in storage pockets are somewhat limited. There are 4 triangular mesh pockets in the corners of the tent, but I find that their shape isn’t the most useful. There is also a small, triangular gear loft, but again, it’s a bit small. Definitely feels like this area needs to be improved.The tent has a bathtub style floor, with it’s edges brought up a few inches onto the walls (more so in the rear section). The floor fabric is waterproof, similar in thickness to that of the rain fly. It is thinner than on our older tent, but the Coleman also comes with a thicker ground sheet that provides extra protection.The rear of the tent features a large window – both in the mesh and in the rain fly. The window can be unzipped from both the outside and from the inside of the tent. It’s possible to open that window just partially for ventilation or fully if the temperature allows. The window is called “star view” by Coleman, and while we didn’t happen to enjoy any star gazing we did really like looking at the trees and the evening sky.The window’s mesh inside the tent can be left closed or if there are no bugs, tied up in the open position allowing for unobstructed view. The zippered portion of the rain fly is fully waterproof and we tested it in several rainstorms already. I think the window is a great addition, one of the best features of the tent.The whole front part of the tent is the entry door. You can just walk in. Our previous tent was much lower and I never realized how used we got to that, until I proceeded to unzip just the bottom corner of the mesh door and crawled into the Coleman, halfway through realizing how silly that was. The zippers operate smoothly, although I’d prefer if they were larger.The rain fly drapes over the front of the tent creating a small vestibule. There is enough space for the shoes and some gear, but the vestibule is not large enough to really fit a person. The wall just slopes toosteeply and the top of the vestibule is pretty much even with the top of the inside door.The front door in the rain fly is also full size and can be either rolled up for easy entry or with some extra poles (not included) set up as an awning. Unfortunately on a rainy day this design doesn’t offer a dry area for changing and when the door is opened, some rain is likely going to get into the tent. The zippers on the rain fly door are large and move smoothly. No issues there.The rain fly so far has been doing an excellent job, the tent survived a couple of really big downpours and several windy, rainy nights without any leaks. The fly offers full coverage, going all the way to the ground with the exception of an area on the back of the tent where the Coleman’s “Peak” design element is shown – the fly has a triangular cutout in it that shows the inside wall of the tent, creating a mountain like design.The wall of the tent in that area is made from the same fabric as the floor and is waterproof, but in my opinion this is really a pointless design, that compromises the way the fly stretches over the tent and unnecessarily creates possible issues in the future. Also even thou this wall section is fully waterproof, if you put your mattress or packs right next to it, then chances are that moisture will wick trough eventually. I wish Coleman just carried the “Peak 1” design clues with a print on the rain fly instead of that strange cutout.The set up is not complicated, but of course it depends on the experience level. If this is your first tent then it might be difficult, if you are a seasoned camper you’ll find it quite simple. The instructions are printed on a flap of the tent bag, but aren’t the most detailed.I was able to set up the tent without help in about 30 minutes, but I recommend doing it with another person – much easier, faster, and less of a chance of damaging the tent. With a helper it takes about 15 minutes to have the tent standing + a few more to stake out all the guy lines.The construction is free standing but with the very large wall area this tent will go flying if you set up without staking it all around. Unlike smaller tents that seem to be fine with just the corners / vestibules staked out, this tent requires at least some of the guy lines to be tensioned. Without the guy lines the rain fly was sagging a bit too much on the sides and it was touching the inside mesh fabric. With the four corner guy lines set up, that was no longer an issue.Overall, I think this is a very nice car camping tent suitable for camping between mid spring and mid fall seasons, but not in snowy conditions. It could be taken on a backpacking adventure if the load is divided between a few people, but there are better choices for that style of camping.This “Peak 1” 4 person dome features some outstanding features but also has some poorly designed elements. I would not recommend it at full price, but when on sale it can be a very good value, offering better quality than the cheaper Coleman’s Sundome series.Pros:- spacious, will actually fit 4 adults- tall, almost enough for a 6′ person to stand up- very well ventilated- great “star view” window- full size doors for easy entry- includes a good ground sheet- almost full coverage rainfly- leak proof in a downpourCons:- expensive when not on sale- vestibule too small for the size of the tent- rainfly has the weird cutout for no good reason- guy lines needed for good setup
