Product Information

The fly is massive, it has those 7 zippers, but they must be closed when it is raining. They did not make any roof vent. There are no floor vents either. So this is not a great design if you happen to be in an area with many hours of rain. You will have to rely only on the window that is on the door because it is protected by the brim. Coleman OctaGo Tent is a 3 person spacious dome tent. It has an unusual and striking shape, a full 360 Degree view of your surroundings the distinctively styled and eye catching OctaGo tent has a multitude of uses, it can be used as a playroom for the kids or a perfect tent for festival gatherings. Seven of the eight sides open up completely, allowing lots of air and light into the tent. The one remaining side features a doorway with the patented Coleman Hinge Door that functions like an actual door, swinging open and shut, making entering and leaving the tent swift and simple. The tent provides maximum living space as the tent is a single large room. The tent is completely watertight and protects you and your equipment when the weather elements. The flysheet can be removed and the tent transforms into a bug-proof screen room ideal for the garden. The Octagon is a former Camping magazine Tent Of The Year and one of Coleman’s most popular tents. Now it has a little brother, the small but perfectly formed OctaGo. It is essentially a smaller – some might say cuter – version of the Octagon, sharing the layout and style of the original in a more compact set-up. Coleman tents tend to be quite easy to set up, and this model is no exception. It comes complete with a color-coded pole attachment system, which helps to alleviate any tent pitching frustrations when you arrive at camp. Full-fly cabin tents are a bit rare, but here you have one. So the fly covers the tent completely, all the way to the ground, and it looks like a giant lid on a pot. But it has vertical zippers on each of its 7 sides so you can unzip them and have 7 windows as the picture below shows: This is how it looks with windows setup.

This fun three-person festival tent features a weatherproof 100% polyester flysheet and complete with a sewn-in groundsheet. The flysheet sports a Polyurethane (PU) coating, thus increasing the material's strength against the weather; and boasts a 2000mm (HH) Hydrostatic Head rating. Overview: The OctaGo has strong 19mm Steel Poles in a geodesic shape, it can easily be pitched by one person on their own in minutes. The tent also has a rain safe canopy over the front door to provide shelter and to stop the rain coming in, all of the windows/panels can be opened up to allow a good flow of air into the tent. The OctaGo pitches inner first and the flysheet is then put over the top as in our Attwoolls Outdoors video, this means that the tent can be used as a pup tent, play tent for the garden or a beach tent.In addition to stainless steel poles, this tent comes with fiberglass poles for the awning and hinged door. Fiberglass is a strong but lightweight material that’s popular in many modern tent designs for non-load-bearing features. Polyester Taffeta

We particularly like that Coleman crafted this tent with extra-rugged materials that are designed to last a lifetime. Comfort They appreciate its comfort, weather-resistance, and ease of set-up, even if it does take as long as 20 minutes to pitch this tent.On a sunny day, opening up all the tent’s windows will certainly offer plenty of airflow, but if you have to close them during a storm, you’re left with few alternatives for ventilating your tent. That being said, most campers find that it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to pitch this tent, especially if one is alone. As a result, if you’re looking for an instant or pop-up tent, the Coleman Octagon probably isn’t for you. Coleman built this tent with comfort in mind, so it’s no surprise that the tent ranks high in terms of livability in our review.

The tent is nicely proportioned, it is not particularly tall, the inner peak height is 57.87 in (1.47 m), see the picture below. But the diameter is 9.61 feet (2.93 m), so this is yet another reason why the tent looks so stable and sturdy. The tent is not very tall. Ventilation Pitching is straightforward and can be done in minutes by one person; start by laying the inner tent out flat and inserting the shorter steel poles into the central hub and the corner connectors. Add the longer upright poles and clip them to the inner then peg it all out and add the flysheet over the top. It can all be done in 10 minutes, max.

degree view plus enhanced ventilation: Seven large windows and mesh roof for maximum air circulation; hinged door opens like a real door for easy access. 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.

Moreover, while most campers agree that the tent is a bit heavy and bulky, the included rolling carry case makes transport a breeze. What We Love About the Coleman Octagon As a result, condensation is quite likely with this tent during periods of extended rain and humid weather. Comfort & Livability
