Coleman Kobuk Valley Camping Tent

I brought this tent as a easy tent to put up on quwick little camping trips with my partner and I was really sprised how good this tent is, it keeps water out really well and it is really sturdy in strong wind , the first time i used this was in Wales and there was a storm over night and throughout the night I kept supper dry and warm , also the black out works super well, in the morning it looks like it is 9 at night , it keeps the tent supper darck in the morning so u will definitely not be distrirbed by the morning sun , this tent is also good size to fit 3 single air beds in with a small gap between them and the way I sleep in it is with a king size air bed for me and my partner and with a king in it u sill have plenty of room for Ur bags, but if u are in role mats u can get 4 people in it if you put Ur stuff in the porch , taking about the porch it is a perfect size to keep shoes in and to sit in to put shoes on , u can have 2 pople sit in the front porch and put there shoes on easily. This tent also packs dowm really will and is easy to fold up and the bag is not one of them silly small bags , also when putting the tent up it is supper easy for one person to do by there self as u don't have to thred the poles thrown as it had clip on pols with the 2 layer design. Over all I am really pleased with this tent definitely the best tent I have purchased and amazing for the price I would highly recommend.

I like the idea of a tent where it's actually dark inside. It's not total darkness, but it's a huge improvement on normal tents. The tent is easy and conventional to set up and appears to be well made. Mine is waterproof so far. It really IS two man, so long as they're not too big. I have used the tent in the last week in October, where the temperature fell unexpectedly to -7 C and a hard frost. I was warm enough. The double skinned design avoids bad condensation and is warm enough. I can recommend this tent to 3 season campers and hardy types for winter and who have good sleeping bags. It's not particularly compact when packed, but is much smaller than my last tent.

This is a very nice tent. I bought it last year as I was planning to take my 6 year old camping with me and I wanted to ensure she got the best night sleep and wouldn't wake up early and be cranky all day. This keeps the light out wonderfully and helped her last a full 3 nights in a row of camping. It probably helped me sleep too. I've only knocked one star off for the size, because although it's a tent for two, it's only just big enough for me and my daughter and I think two full sized people in here might struggle - it took me ages to find an air mattress that wasn't too big. But if that isn't a great concern for you, i highly recommend it. The little flappy porch at the front is a welcome addition, as is the adjustable air vent and hook inside for hanging a light, so you can tell some consideration has gone into its design. Great value for money, and great if you're camping with a kid that wakes up at the crack of dawn.

We had a 4man of this model for 5yrs. Used 3/4 times a Yr. So it was obvious we were going to get another. 3man just a bit smaller than 4man but still has space for 2 adults and all our bike gear. Porch is a good size ,ideal for wet gear and shoes. Easy to put up 5/10min , and easy to take down. We ride scooters, it is lightweight and easy to secure in place. Bedroom area is blackout so great to keep out the light in early mornings.

I bought this tent as it was Which? recommended. It's a good tent, worth buying. Id just question the "3+". It would sleep 3 ok, but not more. If ylu are looking for a tent, you could do a lot worse.

It's a great tent, or would have been a great tent, if it was 20cm longer. I assumed I could fit in this, I have several other tents from the same brand, and expected the 2 man tent to be able to accommodate me at 6'2" (186cm) but no. It sits in the garage waiting to be used by my teenage kids, one day they will appreciate it on their camping trips, but I've not been able to get a good night's sleep in it due to it being 20cm too short. The dark technology thing is awesome! Had no clue this sort of thing could be SO GOOD. I just need the tent to be longer. The other 2 man tent I have from Coleman, without the BlackOut technology is the right size, just mine has holes in it and it does get uncomfortably light in it early morning in summer. Still gutted this one wasn't the same size but I keep repeating myself. I'f you're like 175cm or less, go for it, it's awesome.

This tent is by no means light, I would say the main usecase is car camping. It is quite easy to assemble and disassemble after practicing a few times. The blackout feature is a very nice feature when camping in places where the sun stays up for extended times, like Scandinavia. For two person this tent is really nice and roomy. I think 3 person would be okay but 4 person would feel quite cramped. I didn't notice any water leaks and wind resistance is quite good. I did however notice that the front floor of the tent already had some wear and tear after 2 week camping trip. Also the tent stakes are of low quality and bend easily. Considering the price and usecase I will give it 5 stars.

Tent clearly had been used. Dirty with a lot of soil, a dirty sock. Further bent pegs, and a crook tentpole. Very disappointed as I will need to find another tent asap to go on holiday next week

The tent arrived on time, arrived new and unopened, a reasonably quality item for the one time I have used it so far, in general. I would however like to stress that it being for 4 people is somewhat of an overstatement. Yes, 4 people will probably fit, stuffed like sausages next to each other, I suppose. I used it alone, at a festival, and space was enough for me alone. In lenght, it was barely enough, and I'm 180cm (feet at the entrance). Have not tried it the other way, will try next time. My 200x140cm inflatabel mattress barely fit in leght. It had still reasonably ample room on both sides, however. The 'pre-room space' is ok size, for the gear to be stored, but the protection from heavy rain and mud is relative. Both are likely to get inside there, so I wouldn't store food there, for instance, also likely to be attacked by insects. The black-out was a bit of a let-down. It is nowhere near 99% darkness or whatever they say. I don't need total darkness to sleep, so it was not that much of an issue, but 99% darkness is a huge overstatement. If you need near total darkness to sleep, this is not the tent for you or don't choose it on that basis The biggest let-down is probably the alleged keeping cooler, while warm outside, and keeping warmer, while cool outside. It is simply not the case. The tent under direct sun becomes a furnace, even under the Belgian mid-August sun, which is not at all powerful, and anybody from Notrhern Europe will know. It's basically hotter inside the tent than outside, in that case. Therefore, darker tent or not (no black-out, as mentioned), it won't matter, becasue at 8 in the morning, but before 9 at the latest, you must get out of the tent, if you don't want to get cooked and still want to breathe. That is, if your tent is under direct sunlight, with no shade. If you are under trees, I suppose, it should be OK, but have not tried that yet (next Spring/Summer). For cooler temperatures, I guess it will keep somewhat darker inside than outside, because it will retain some of your own body heat. I passed nights with down to 10C, but by both having a thermal mat under my mattress, and by sleeping in a sleeping bag, with 9C as tolerable temperature (-3, as extreme, +15 as comfort), sleeping in the tent was OK (I've had worse). It was not straighforward to be pitched for an aoccasional camper. At the price point, I suppose it was OK (I got it with a promotion), quality so fas OK, the most important promise on coolness was not kept. Darkness not kept either, but not a fundamental point for me. Internal room is questionable (not really for 4 people, but for me alone it was OK, maybe not so much in length). Ventilation could be much better.

Recomendable

Acquistata per campeggio in ogni stagione si è rivelata di buona qualità generale e di normale difficoltà di montaggio. In inverno (temp. +5 / -10) eccessiva produzione di condensa che finisce per bagnare i sacchi a pelo nel momento in cui si apre la porta. Molto comoda la verandina che consente di riporre scarponi e borse al riparo dall'umidità.
