Coleman Weatherproof Sundome Outdoor Shelter

Product Information

This creates a slightly narrower range of viewing angles than is possible in tents with side windows. If you need a tent that can be set up in almost no time at all, pull-string tents like the Lightspeed Bahia are worth looking at.

If the beach becomes a bit windy, the included stakes and sandbags can be used to keep the tent in place. We provide expert insights and detailed guides to help you find products tailored to your needs and budget. Since we also own a Lightspeed Bahia (paid link) this review would not be complete without acknowledging that where raw speed is concerned, the Coleman DayTripper Beach Shade is slower to set up than beach tents that use a pull-string or pop-up design. And for a nice added touch, the inside of the tent features a storage pocket to keep your essentials on hand.

Second, at each of the four tent corners there is a mesh pocket, useful for storing items like cellphones, snacks, and water bottles. Sun Resistance: We’ll cover why sun protection is important to you shortly, but don’t forget why it’s important to the tent.

That said, the Coleman DayTripper Beach Shade is very wide, this isn’t a limitation that has ever upset me. You're at the beach to chill and not to spend all your time figuring out how the hell your beach tent fits together.It's a lot like the Pacific Breeze beach tent, our top pick overall, but it's cheaper than that brand's extra-large option and this one also includes an extendable floor. Your job might not be beach, but that shouldn't stop you from heading out to enjoy the sand between your toes. My top pick is the Coleman Weatherproof Sundome as it is affordable, you can sit inside it on a chair and is ideal for two people.

Further tethering can be accomplished by staking the two rope tether lines on the front corners of the tent. Easy to set up and ready to withstand the sun, rain, and wind, this Oileus beach tent is an excellent option for a perfect nuclear family (uh, or any other group of four people).However, keep in mind that the complexity of pull-string tent’s poles often means they do not pack up anywhere near as small as poled tents.

Established in 1998, BoatSafe is your independent guide into the world of boating, fishing, and watersports. Although we’ve never encountered it, even on busy beaches, I can imagine that a beach tent the size of the Coleman DayTripper Beach Shade would not be very welcome in some spots on exceptionally busy days.
