Coleman tent Vail 4/6, family tent for 4/6 persons, large camping tent with 2/3 extra-large sleeping compartments and vestibule, quick to set up, waterproof HH 4,000 mm

For extra peace of mind, the stoppers on the tent doors ensure that zips are always within easy reach in the event of an emergency, even for children. Moving into the main living area, head room is good, there’s a side door with inner mesh panel so if it’s warm you can roll up the outer and leave the mesh zipped in place. Ideal for keeping kids and dogs inside, and the bugs on the outside. The large front door has the same inner mesh and outer setup, with the lower lip being able to be pegged out flat, making wheelchair and pushchair access much easier. It might also act as less of a tripping hazard if you've had one too many beers around the campfire. The polyester flysheet has a hydrostatic head of 4,000mm as well as fully taped seams. The outer tent is also fire retardant and treated with Coleman’s UVGuard, providing SPF 50 protection from the sun’s rays.Dome tents are generally being ditched in favour of tunnel tents in family camping grounds because they can’t compete for space. However, they are still very popular with hikers and trekkers because small dome tents are quite stable and lightweight. Dome tents with geodesic designs are very good at dealing with extreme weather. Is this your first large tent? For those who are new to camping, it is probably worth investigating the more entry-level end. There are 6-man tents out there that offer excellent value, such as the Vango Odyssey or Aether 600XL. Features of geodesic tents: capable in harsh weather; lightweight; best suited for hiking; often a pricier option. Additional features include barrier free access to ensure easy movement in and out of the tent, extra large bedrooms for a great night’s sleep and convenient cable openings in the tent wall that allow easy accessibility to a power source outside the tent.

The Coleman Vail 4L is a tunnel design, built to sleep 4 people. Made from a 68 denier fabric with a hydrostatic head value of 4000mm, in plain English that means that it’s great for the Great British wet weather, and if the weather is hot, the fabric has UVGuard™ with an SPF50 to protect your family. The Vail 4L uses fibreglass poles that are colour coded and slide into the outer sleeves easily. The pitching process took about 10 minutes, 15 if you count pegging out the guy lines too. That was with 2 of us pitching the tent, it could be done by one person but it is a lot more fiddly (something we will explain in a future article/video). Staying with the sleeping area, we see it will sleep 4 easily in the 2 halves of the room. It has a central divider that you can remove and create one large space. As you will probably notice from the photos, we slept 2 adults in there on this trip with no divider. There was plenty of room inside, ample space for our overnight bags, a bit of furniture and some lights, for example. Geodesic tents are kind of like upgraded dome tents. They have extra criss-crossing support poles which makes them much more adept at dealing with high winds. Because they are designed to cope with harsher weather, geodesic tents sacrifice space and are a little more complex to pitch than other styles. They are wonderful for those camping in more extreme environments but less suitable for casual campers and families. As you can see from the range of tents, it is entirely circumstantial as to what tent is right for you. Here are some important questions to consider:Coleman XXL Bedrooms are designed to be mores spacious than the average tent bedroom. Comfortably accommodating our larger double air beds, they offer plenty of space to make your camping trip more enjoyable and helping you get a better night sleep, in the great outdoors! A fabric’s waterproof properties are measured using a rating called its hydrostatic head. If a tent has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm it means that a 3 metre column of water can be placed on its surface before any drops will show through the underside of the fabric. (The Ministry of Defence in the UK classifies fabric with a hydrostatic head of 800mm+ as waterproof). If you’re planning a family weekend or even longer away then the Coleman Vail 6 L Family Tent is the perfect choice for you. Extremely spacious and comfortable, this 6 person tent features an extended porch for an added living area at the entrance and exit as well as providing you with plenty of protection against whatever the weather throws at you.

Help & Support

Features of dome tents: cheap; fairly light; have single zones only; OK in moderate wind – the bigger the tent, the less stable it is.

Tipi/pyramid tent features: easy to pitch; a vast range of sizes; deal well with bad weather; sloped walls rob interior space; some come without a floor.The fire retardant characteristic of our material ensures that the fabric will not flare dangerously out of control and will self extinguish, giving time to escape in the event of an emergency. The Coleman Vail 4L has a fitted groundsheet throughout, and we brightened and warmed up our inner living area by placing some blankets on the floor (it was February). Coleman also have a lovely blanket that will fit this tent too. The tent's outer fabric is fire retardant, ensuring safety in emergencies. Zipper stoppers on the doors make zips easy to reach, even for children. Need it in a hurry? We are also able to offer before 12 noon and Saturday delivery services.
