Kobuk Valley Camping Tent

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.

Well made tent but only big enough for one adult and gets quite a bit of condensation build up but dark and warm. Not overly heavy. Could do with bigger porch, this is quite limited. Does the job well for a few nights.

This tent is extremely easy to assemble! For someone who really doesn't like camping, nor who has a clue where to begin when it comes to assembling and pegging down tents etc, this is a dream tent for beginners! I managed to set up the whole thing by myself. I just needed someone to hold one set of poles in place, whilst I clipped the others together briefly. This tent isn't spacious, but will comfortably sleep one person, single air mattress included. I'm 5'6 and lying on an air mattress, my feet just touched the end, with room down the side of me for a handbag and a hoodie. Extra luggage would make things a bit snug. I slept comfortably though (the blackout feature is great!) and although it didn't really rain heavily, the tent was coping well in misty rain.

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.

Just spend 3 nights up the Lake District in this little beauty on its first outing.. Took no time at all to set up, the pole are hooked on and not threaded - which saved time and frustration.. One night we had thunder storms and it absolutely hammered it down and was blowing a serious gale.. It barely moved, it was solid and the water just slid off.. No water staining nothing got through at all.. The blackout feature was fab, one thing I dislike about camping is the searing heat and sun in the morning but this did not happen, also zero moisture condensation from breathing.. Great tent, I'd recommend it to anyone..

One month in..used daily at events for work.. and this tent is 100% waterproof so far...heavy rain bounces off... Spacious design perfect for the solo camper...small and light when packed. Easy assembly..quick to pack... Only downside being the amount of condensation the black flap generates...hint ..wipe before unzipping in morning. Highly recommended. Will update review in Winter...

This tent is brilliant. I had an air mattress so it takes up a lot of space so if there's two people and an air mattress, it's tight. The "porch" area is small. It would be fine if you're using the tent as a one-person. The tent held tight through 42-50km winds and pretty bad rain, not a drop got in. The zips around the door require both hands to open or close them. The blackout feature of the tent is spot on also. It's really dark in there! Would be a 5 star review if I used this on my own but as there was 2 of us, it was just very tight and cramped. Well worth the money though.

Bought this for my foster child. Easy to set up and came with a footprint which was an unexpected bonus. The blackout is very effective and meant he was able to sleep later than in his previous tent. Used it for the first time this weekend and the rain was biblical. Absolutely no problem - no water made it into his tent. Very pleased with my purchase.

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.

Not that impressed with this tent. The dimensions are stated & are similar with other tents in this category but this tent is very short. I am only 179cm and I don't fit well. Got it for the blackout material which is great but in all other aspects it is a bit below par.

Belle tente, facile a monter, qualité du textile, légère, bon la mienne avait un petit manque de file, donc retour chez amazon qui m'en a renvoyer une autre illico. il fait bie nnoir au petit matin..çà correspond a ce que j'attendais , rien a redire a part le petit defaut qui ne remet pas en cause la tente et ou le couchage..aussi il il a deux trappes pour l'air... donc pas c'est pas une etuve la nuit...impec..je recommande, de plus c'est deux personnes, mais disons avec un sac quelques fringues, la place se reduit , donc pour un personne avec des effets perso, t'es pas non plus comme une sardine...

Ein Super schönes Zelt, in welchem es auch wirklich dunkel ist. Aber mir ist es leider etwas zu klein. Ich wollte darin mit meiner Freundin übernachten und dafür fand ich es doch etwas eng. Ebenfalls bin ich (vermutlich aufgrund meiner eingelegten Matratze) sowohl mit dem Kopf, als auch mit den Beinen an die Zeltwände gestoßen. Ich persönlich würde dieses Zelt für eine Person empfehlen oder Max. zwei Kinder. Für Erwachsene würde ich ein größeres Modell empfehlen. Sobald Sonne auf das Zelt scheint, heizt dieses sich ebenfalls relativ schnell auf (wie man es von den meisten Zelten kennt). Alles in allem gibt es von mir 3 Sterne, da ich es super für eine Person finde, und keine Mängel bei der Nutzung erkennen konnte, der Aufbau ging ebenfalls einfach von der Hand. Den Preis finde ich trotz der Lichtundurchlässigen Außenschicht etwas hoch. Eine Kaufempfehlung spreche ich für Kinder oder Einzelcamper aus, welche dünnere Matratzen haben und wert auf ein dunkles Umfeld legen.

Au bout de quelques semaines d'utilisation, la partie intérieur de la tente fond, dégageant une odeur de goudron, et colle en laissant des traces noires. Les maux de têtes sont terribles ! C'est inutilisable. J'ai contacté le service consommateurs de Coleman (plutôt désagréable au téléphone) et j'ai prévenu le service juridique de 60 millions de consommateurs. Entreprise à fuir si on veut garder la santé !
