The Mineral King 3 has a full rain fly, which you can roll up halfway or completely remove for epic stargazing. It also comes with a groundsheet (aka footprint) to protect the tent floor. If the Mineral King 3 is out of stock, or if you’d like a slightly coleman canopy larger tent, we recommend the Marmot Tungsten 4. The Tungsten 4 shares many of the Mineral King 3’s best features, and provides 10 square feet of additional living space as well as excellent weather protection—as long as you set it up properly.
Having replacement options available means that you don’t have to miss out on all of the benefits of using a coleman chair if yours is damaged or worn down over time. To be sure it fits properly, we always tell readers to verify compatibility specs before buying the substitute cover for your tent. The red comfort grips are designed for easy and secure setup and teardown. The pinch-free adjustability ensures convenience without compromising safety during assembly when choosing between one of the height options.
That mesh also keeps the tent feeling airy and cool in hot climates. One night during testing, for example, clouds loomed in the distance with clear skies overhead. After we pitched the tent, the Mineral King 3’s adaptable fly let us leave half the mesh dome uncovered. At the first sign of rain, it took only a few seconds—and a quick hand stuck outside the tent—to unfurl the fly and secure it for a dry night’s sleep.

When we awoke, we could roll back one part of the vestibule, make coffee, and watch the sky lighten even though it was still raining. A full rain cover, two vestibules, and an extra-sturdy pole structure make this the best choice for families who want to get outside in any weather. ◊Pricing, selection, and availability of store clearance items are determined by each store.
