Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Do not buy this tent without the rain fly accessory! For some naive reason I believed the claims on the package "guaranteed to keep you dry" and didn't even see that the rain fly existed. Out camping last weekend I experienced the joy of pouring rain whilst camping in this tent. It kept us dry... for about an hour. After that a pool of water formed in the center of the roof and then started leaking through. When I awoke (my two-year-old was screaming) I was soaked through, sitting in a significant amount of water. In the morning there was about 1/4" of water across the whole bottom of the tent. Coleman: you should not sell this tent without the rain fly. You should not claim that this tent is waterproof. It isn't, and you obviously know it because YOU SELL A RAIN FLY for it. Why would I need a rain fly for a waterproof tent? Why would I need a tent that isn't waterproof? Just bundle them together! Apart from that, the tent is more-or-less what I expected. It's a much bigger package (and heavier) than any kind of dome-like tent: car camping only. But it can be erected by one person in about a minute, it's pretty spacious (in regards to the comments on here: '4-man' tents are all just 'four skinny hipsters lying in a row'-size tents. This one fits a queen inflatable or three roll mats pretty easily, and you can clamber in and out without crawling on your knees. I'm about to order the rain fly, and maybe get some use out of this thing yet, but thanks to the awful marketing promises (outright lies?) of this tent I had an awful night camping, with my two-year-old crying for hours because she was soaked. My whole family has a cold now: thanks for nothing Coleman!
