Coleman Tatra 2 (2000014597)

Quick assembly

The tent of the American manufacturer Coleman is notable for its oblong shape and the presence of an external frame. The latter will speed up assembly, because both the inner and outer awning are immediately put on the frame.

Durability and readiness for different weather

The assembled Coleman Tatra 2 aluminium bars form an L-shaped, wind-resistant structure (it is stated that the model is designed even for stormy conditions). Yes, and aluminium itself is stronger and better prepared for temperature changes against the background of fiberglass. However the application of the model is still limited to three warm seasons.

The tent is able to withstand moderate rains, as the polyester bottom and outer tent are waterproof up to 4000 mm of water. Art. Reinforced corners and a Rip Stop system provide additional tear protection.

Big vestibule

One of the main features of the Coleman Tatra 2 is a fairly large vestibule (by the standards of a two-seater tracking model). Due to the metre length and a good area, if necessary, you can not only place tourist "luggage", but also organize a camping mini-kitchen. Also, it is the vestibule that is equipped with two entrances from the street, and already it contains the only “door” to the bedroom.

The seating area is quite standard: the length is 210 cm, and the width narrows slightly from 140 cm at the shoulders to 120 cm at the feet. The inner tent has the usual features such as a mosquito net, pockets for small items and a loop for a lantern.

The disadvantages of the tent include a lot of weight (3.4 kg in total or 1.7 kg per person). Although if you are looking for a model with a fairly large vestibule, then analogs like the Pinguin Storm 2 are even heavier. In addition, the fame and credibility of the brand speaks in favor of Coleman Tatra 2, which is sometimes more important for seasoned tourists than the price tag and other parameters.
