Sports reviews of Coleman SunDome 9- by 7- Foot Four- Person Dome Tent (Orange/Grey)
Customer Review: Solid tent handled the wind storm
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased the 9x7 Coleman dome at a local sporting goods store. It was a last minute purchase to have a larger tent for my son and I to use. I really wasn't expecting much since it was a Coleman and on the low-end side of available tents, and felt that I had over paid since it was at a retail store.
1) After seen the price here, I got a bargain. I paid $55 plus tax vs. $65 plus shipping. So...yay!
2) I have been repeatedly impressed with the overall quality.
It doesn't have a full rain fly and it uses an extra pole for a ridge in the fly, but the material is quality. The tent has some extra features too. There is a tiny zipper in one corner that you can run wires in for electric. The zipper has a layer of material covering it so it will not have direct exposure to rain. It also has what looks like a doggy door. This is considered a "Cooler Access" door so you can leave your ice chest our side the tent and simply go through the flap to snag a soda. This door has a vent screen and the material covering the zipper for rain protection.
The tub style bottom is nice and thick and the side venting under the rain fly is wide open. Like the front door, the back window can be open and vented. My initial intent was to buy cheap until the family started to get into camping. Once the cheap tents wear out, I wouldn't mind spending more. This tent doesn't seem like it will wear out anytime soon though!
I seam sealed and rain protected the tent and rain fly as soon as I bought it. I also practiced setting it up several times. I did this with the Wenzel 2 man tent I reviewed on Amazon. I haven't had to wait out a rain storm yet, but I feel better with the extra protection. The included stakes are pretty thin. After two trips some are starting to bend from the hammering. Eventually I will replace these. The tent is kinda heavy. When you combine that with a ground cover the weight really stacks up. If you are sharing the tent and planning on hiking, make sure the load is split up or off load some of your gear to a buddy. Finally, add some reflective tape or something to the side guy wires so they can be seen in the dark. My kiddo tripped over one and kinda hurt himself. Don't worry, he's a pretty tuff little squirt so he was fine.
So, now for the wind storm story. On our last trip out we had three tents including this Coleman. We arrived and setup in the dark and in light to moderate winds. The Coleman setup quickly with two people (it can be setup with 1 patient person if necessary). Later that night, the winds really pounded us. My estimate puts the winds gusting in the mid 40mph range with steady winds around 20mph.
Luckily we had the corner of the tent into the wind. Since it was late when we arrived, I (accidently) didn't finish pounding the stakes into the ground for the rain fly. The guy wires that keep tension on the fly came off the stakes and caused the sides of the fly to flap violently in the wind. Despite my blunder, the tent held up great. The rain fly is fine and held up to the abuse.
I definitely recommend this as a starter tent for car camping in the 1-3 day trip range. I still don't know about how well it will hold up in rain. When that day comes I will add additional comments.
On a side note, don't forget to put away the rain fly pole and leave it on the back of your wife's car. Apparently the pole does not survive multiple impacts on the ground and being run over by hundreds of vehicles. Luckily with a hack saw you can cut an extra pole to fit perfectly in a matter of minutes.
Description of Coleman SunDome 9- by 7- Foot Four- Person Dome Tent (Orange/Grey)
Great for family car campers and small groups, the Coleman Sundome 4 Tent sleeps four people comfortably. It measures 9'x7', with a 4'11" center height. The Sundome 4 Tent features a new Ground Vent for improved airflow; a privacy vent window offers more ventilation; and you can control airflow with Coleman's VariFlow adjustable ventilation. A convenient electrical-access port lets you run a cord from your device in the tent to a power supply outside. An interior gear pocket helps keep your things organized. Setting up this 2-pole dome tent is a breeze -- it sets up in 10 minutes or less, thanks to color-coded poles and sleeves, shock-corded poles, continuous pole sleeves, pin-and-ring design and InstaClip attachments. Easy-to-follow set-up instructions are sewn right into the carry bag, so you'll always have them handy. The frame is strong and wind-resistant, with 8.5mm fiberglass poles; the tent fabric is 68D polyester mesh and 75D polyester taffeta inside, with a 75D polyester taffeta flysheet. The durable carry bag includes separate storage sacks for tent, poles and stakes. Limited 1-year warranty.Roomy enough for a comfortable camping adventure with friends and family, this Coleman Sundome tent sleeps up to four people at a time in complete comfort. The Sundome is outfitted with Coleman's exclusive WeatherTec system, a series of technical features intended to protect you from inclement weather and nasty storms. WeatherTec tents are built with a coated polyester fabric combined with anti-wicking thread, webbing, and zippers, all designed to keep you dry when the rain comes down. The tent's welded waterproof floor and inverted floor seams, meanwhile, dramatically increase the water resistance by hiding the needle holes inside the tent and away from the elements. And in addition to offering fully taped rainfly seams, the included rainfly covers the doors and windows tightly and incorporates easy-to-use Velcro frame attachments. In fact, Coleman is so confident in its WeatherTec system that it exposes its WeatherTec tents to a rain room that simulates nasty downpours, and to a wind machine capable of blowing hurricane force gusts. The results? Even after the tests, Coleman guarantees its WeatherTec tents will keep you dry.
The Sundome's interior is generously sized, with a base that measures 9 feet by 7 feet and a center height of 59 inches. In addition, the tent is engineered to keep you cool thanks to the adjustable Variflo ventilation and vented Cool-Air port. Best of all for travel-weary campers, the Sundome sets up quickly, with two shock-corded steel poles, continuous pole sleeves, a pin-and-ring design, and InstaClip attachments. The tent even comes with easy-to-follow instructions sewn into the durable carrying bag. Other features include an interior gear pocket, electrical access port, and a privacy vent window.

About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.
