Product Description
Product Description
Adventure is moments away when you set up the Coleman 8-Person Instant Cabin. Pre-attached poles make setup a simple matter of unfold, extend and secure, so your cabin and the integrated, vented rainfly are ready in about 60 seconds. If it rains, the WeatherTec system and its patented welded floors and inverted seams will help you stay dry. Inside, there's enough room to stretch out on two queen-sized airbeds, and two storage pockets help to keep small items organized. When it's time to head home, the tent easily packs up into an expandable carry bag with a rip strip until you're off on your next adventure.

Nothing kills a campsite buzz like a tent with too many poles and too little instruction. Enter the Coleman 14x8 Foot 8-Person Instant Tent, a two-room tent that sets up in less than a minute. The tent is made using an innovative one-piece design, with poles that come pre-attached to the tent. That means there's no frustrating assembly and no parts to lose. Simply unfold the tent, spread out the fabric, extend the poles, and click and lock. The only thing easier is rolling out your bag and sleeping in the open.
The tent's poles come pre-attached to the tent body, helping you pitch the tent in less than a minute.
Made of heavy-duty 150D polyester taffeta, the 14x8 Foot 8-Person Instant Tent is every bit as sturdy as its traditional counterparts. The tent 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.
The tent is also fully taped, eliminating the need for a separate rainfly. Add in a strong, wind-responsive frame and you have a shelter that performs like a brick house during a storm. 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. It stands 76 inches tall in the center and includes room for two queen airbeds. The tent weighs 37.7 pounds and carries a limited one-year manufacturer's warranty.
The tent sleeps up to 8 people in its 112-square-foot footprint. 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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only gripes are that 1) sometimes it's challenging to close the door zipper with one hand as the outside flap tends to close in and snag the zipper, sometimes requiring two hands to close it, and 2) as others have said- the stakes that come with it are a joke. You must upgrade them to more heavy duty ones for stability. But all in all- not the end of the world, and not worth docking a star even as this tent rocks!!
As for wind, I don't understand why so many people are complaining about this in the wind. At Burning Man we experienced extended dust storms and some very intense high winds. I'm wondering if the people who say this doesn't do well in the wind are even using the guy lines at all. You must use the guy lines to help with the wind, there is no doubt.
Here are some tips for using the guy lines:
1) as many have stated you MUST upgrade the tent stakes- that's a given.
2) be sure to use the LOWER loop of the little plastic adjuster on the guy lines (it's easy to not pay attention and use the top loop, which will seem taught but will then loosen in high winds). (if you are not familiar with how those tension adjusters work, there are videos on YouTube that will help. I had to have a friend show me :-)
3) make sure that the angle of the guy lines are at a 45 degree angle coming down from the tent, this angle will give your guy lines the most strength. It makes you have to take a winder path walking around the tent, but if you are concerned about wind- this is a must do
4) make sure that the stakes are put in the ground also at a 45 degree angle such that the top of your stake points AWAY from the tent! If you put them in straight up and down or at an angle not away from the tent, they will for sure loosen with ongoing wind.
I hope these suggestions help someone. Follow these tips and I don't think you will have any trouble with this tent in the wind :-)

以下の特徴を理解していれば、更に安心して使えると思いますので、共有いたします。
収納時、元の袋の縫製の一部を破り、少しゆとりをもたせた形の袋に収納になります。破るのは黒い袋に白い布が縫い付けられている部分ですので、簡単にすぐ終わります。よって収納袋のサイズとテントのサイズの関係は妥当だと思います。
収納には多少慣れが必要ですが、こつは、折りたたんだポールの長さを揃えることです。6本のポールがバラバラに上に出っ張っていたり、下に出っ張っていたりという状態では袋に収まりませんので揃えます。あとは折りたたみ傘の要領で、なるべく均等に複数のポールの間にテントのシートを収めて巻き付けていくような感じで畳めば、袋に問題なく収まります。
室内の高さが十分にあるので、立ったまま着替えることも問題無いです。両側面に小さなポケットがあるので、財布や携帯、カギなど小物を入れておくことができます。
別売のフライシートと市販のグランドシートを併用して、雨天(かなり多い雨量)を深夜から朝まで1度経験しましたが、雨漏りのようなものはなく、室内の床面も乾いたままでした。
私は収納サイズが多少大きくても、テントの設置と収納の時間を短縮したかったので、このテントにして良かったと思います
この度2016/5/04野外で使用
極めて快適でした、強風でしたが隙間風もほとんどなく、また虫類の侵入もほとんどありません。
テントの設営がパラソル方式でここまで簡単になったのは驚きでした。設営にペグうちも入れて1名でも強風でなければ10-15分あれば十分です。
強いて言えば入口のファスナが下方から上向きの開け方なのでこれを上からも開けられる両方向開閉式であったらいいなと思いました
総合的にこのテントと購入店への満足度は満点です。
本テントは並行輸入の販売: 絆ise 様より購入
まったくの新品で素晴らしかったです。
テント張ったことない私でも、1人で5分あれば余裕でセット出来ます。
セットの仕方は、あらかじめyoutubeで見ておきました。
お隣さんより、遅れて到着したのに、早く完成。お料理や遊びに時間が使えます。
もちろん、撤収も早いです。
クイーンサイズのエアベッド、2つ入ります!
中の天井部分にはランプを吊るせるヒモや、サイドには、小物を入れられるポケットがある。
寝る際、ケータイなど、無くならないので重宝してます。
購入してから2年目、3回使用、とくに劣化はありません。
悪い点、思いつきません。
