Coleman Aspen 4 Family Pole Tent Review

What we thought

I instantly cherished this little tent, although referring to it as ‘little’ might be doing it a little bit of a disservice, as for the two of us it offered greater than sufficient house. For a small household, notably a household with younger youngsters, this could be a super alternative.

My first correct tent (that wasn’t a tiny 2-person dome) got here from our different favorite household tent model and was similar to this one in measurement and magnificence so it gave me a very nostalgic really feel.

That’s to not say the Coleman Aspen 4 is in any approach outdated, it isn’t however it’s an excellent whereas since I’ve camped in a tent like this and I cherished the expertise.

Having primarily used bell tents or AirBeam tents lately, going again to a pole tent felt a bit old fashioned, however it’s a good way of preserving each value and bulk down, and the pack measurement of this tent is admittedly spectacular, very best in case you solely have a small automobile or don’t need your tent to take up half of your packing house.

Pitching The Tent

Getting the tent up was tremendous simple. I by no means have a look at directions and all the time imagine a tent must be intuitive to pitch. The three poles are color coded so it’s simple to pitch and with 2 of us, it took about 10 minutes.

We did must faff a bit to get the entrance cover to look straight, however we nearly managed it earlier than we gave up and determined tenting bloggers or not, it might do.

Practicality

We now have a big double camp mattress and different tents have struggled with it. I wasn’t certain whether or not it might match, however with the center divider eliminated, it fitted!

We concluded that 4 common single-size SIMs would positively match aspect by aspect contained in the sleeping compartment, although luggage and so forth. must be stored within the residing space.

There have been 3 lantern hanging factors in strategic areas all through the tent which have been very helpful. My husband is over 6 toes tall and reported good standing head house all through the tent.

We like that within the bed room compartment there’s extra air flow, and though we didn’t want to make use of all of the man ropes on our journey which was utterly breeze free, there are loads and all of people who we did use felt sturdy and succesful.

Though we didn’t use the smaller aspect door, it does present further structure flexibility and in addition added gentle, to what’s already a really gentle and ethereal feeling tent inside.

Tent Options

One massive distinction to the opposite model tent related in measurement and magnificence, is that the Coleman Aspen 4 felt rather more premium, although as is all the time the case, it does include a fairly primary set of tent pegs, that are solely actually helpful for excellent climate, so investing in additional heavy-duty tent pegs can be advisable.

We very very like that the doorways zip totally round all sides and will be simply rolled up, and the extra layer of bug mesh too, makes the tent really feel extra premium.

Regardless of us not pitching the tent notably nicely, resulting in pressure on the entrance, the zips have been sturdy and succesful and the sewn-in groundsheet makes the tent a good selection for the changeable British climate.

Professionals

  • Comparatively small pack measurement and fairly gentle for such a giant tent
  • Spacious and ethereal inside
  • Font and aspect door choices
  • The in-built cover is admittedly useful throughout rain showers
  • It’s fast and intuitive to pitch
  • The bedrooms are fairly darkish regardless of not being full blackout bedrooms
  • I personally actually appreciated the color, a shade of darkish jade inexperienced with vibrant lime inexperienced
  • The 4000mm HH did an excellent job of preserving us dry throughout some fairly heavy downpours

Cons

  • Extra built-in inner storage pockets can be helpful

Practicality 4.5/5

Seems to be 4/5

General Score 4.5 out of 5 stars (4.5 / 5)

The Coleman Aspen 4 is a superb worth household tent that feels extra premium than the very affordable price ticket would recommend. The in-built cover is extraordinarily helpful, offering shade throughout the summer time and safety from the weather throughout downpours.
