Coleman Sundome 6 Tent Review

Or for something a little different, check out the Coleman 4 person instant cabin tent review. In researching this we came across a user who had even used the tent successfully in snow – which is some really impressive durability and protection from a tent that won’t break the bank.

All packed up, the Sundome 6 weighs 16.6lb, and the packed size of its travel bag is 28”x13”x8”.

The 3, 7’x7′, dome tent is part of the classic Sundome series of tents from Coleman. The Sundome 3 sleeps 3 happy campers and includes a large door for easy entry/exit with a hooded fly to provide ventilation even in rain.
