When families head out to look for a new tent, many only consider those with a Coleman® logo. They’ve used Coleman® products before and know why they’re the best. This blog is for people who haven’t had the chance to spend a night in the comfort of a Coleman® tent. We’re here to explain why you’ll never want to sleep in anything other than Coleman® product again.
The most important aspect of a tent to pretty much all campers is that you’re going to stay dry, even in a windy, rainy storm. The secret is our patented WeatherTec™ System.
For rain protection, we start with weather-resistant fabric with taped seams; however, you may still want to add some seam sealer each season for added protection. The inverted floor seams hide needle holes which help to eliminate leaks, and welded floors tightly seal the tarp floor. The fabric attached to the poles’ pin-and-ring systems is also made of material that repels. Coleman® rainflies are designed to keep water away from mesh areas. And we have even paid special attention to the zippers. They’re inverted and come with a cuff to keep the water out.
For wind protection, we start with strong poles that together provide a sturdy frame design; however, the secret to a truly wind-resistant tent is perfectly placed guy lines. Our engineers have spent years developing some of the most effective on the market. Coleman includes attachments to the underside of the rainfly to keep it in place when you guy out the tent. You’ll also find adjustment clips that allow you to get all your guylines just right, day after day even when rainy weather may force others to sag.
We know all these elements work because we’ve tested them. Our rain test room simulates any condition, from a light shower to a heavy downpour, and our wind tester is attached to a 350-horsepower, small block engine and generates hurricane-force winds. If we don’t put those tester tents through enough abuse in our test rooms, we also leave them outside for days and weeks at a time, just to see how they hold up under normal conditions. Making us confident that the Coleman tent you buy will stay up and keep you dry, whatever you put it through.
This is why Coleman® tents should be your only tents.
