Speaking of fun and alcohol, as an inexpensive ten person tent, this is one to consider taking to festivals with friends. If it gets destroyed by partying festival-goers, it’s less of a biggie than with a pricier option. Let’s talk specs for the Joro. It comes in a rather natty blue colour and is reasonably similar in design to the Coleman Weathermaster 6XL. The lounge area is expansive – this is your main living space, with a head height of over 2.15m – perfect for taller folk. The lounge measure 270 x 450cm and has two side doors to the outside, one with a neat little shelter (or ‘brow’) above it to get your shoes on without getting soaked. This also stops water dripping in when the door is open – nice! You may not have heard of polycotton before – it is essentially a 65%/35% mixture of polyester (modern waterproof modern tent fabric) and cotton (traditional breathable canvas). By combining the two you get improved breathability but with similar waterproofing ability, as well as a natural feel.

Insert the 4 curved roof poles into the tent’s continuous pole sleeves, and then attach them to the 8 side poles. The FastPitch Weathermaster Air has a generous living area in addition to the spacious enclosed porch, which is large enough to house a table and chairs, providing the perfect place to relax, keeping you protected from the sun and rain. Heavy rain is no match for the polyester flysheet which has an impressive hydrostatic head of 4500mm, this combined with the tough, integrated polyethylene groundsheet ensures a dry and bug-free interior. For convenience, the front awning door can be open or closed to give plenty of flexibility as well as protecting the living room door from rain, while the addition of Coleman’s UVGuard with an SPF50 will protect your family from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.The Coleman WeatherMaster 10 is made to stand the test of time. Even after a couple of years using this tent, it should stay as good as new – just take reasonable care of it. We are planning to put it up again when it is not so windy to apply the Camp Dry and Seam Grip. I will update this review when we try it again. There are countless other brands like Core and Ozark that are the market leaders for the timeless creation and finest collection in the camping industry.

Coleman claim that as part of their research and development, they test all their tents in simulated storms, with winds of up to 35mph.You can shut doors and windows, and attach the rain fly to help insulate the tent if it gets a little cold at night. Withstanding the winter cold If you’re experienced at pitching tents, you should be able to set this one up alone. The set up is easier than many other camping tents of this size. However, due to the size and some concerns, I believe it’s easier and safer to set up with two people. You should also be wary when assembling the Coleman Weathermaster 10 person tent, as a handful of users found the tent poles bent. This may have been down to a defective batch or overly rough handling, but proceed with caution. Coleman usually sends a replacement swiftly, for no extra charge.

The outer covering has a 6000mm hydrostatic head which means it’s extremely waterproof and will survive a biblical deluge. The quality of the fabric and the size of the tent means that it’s a hefty weight though – 28.3kg. Could be a two-person effort to shift it if you’re not built like Sylvester Stallone. We think its worth investing in the Coleman WeatherMaster 6-Person Tent with Screened Room and it earns a well deserved 4.5 stars. This spacious six person tent with reliable weather resistance is available at a reasonable price.

You can prolong the service time if you take good care of it before and after the trip. For example, you can apply water-proof spray on the tent before the trip. This can help keep your tent dry during rainy weather and extend the lifespan of the tent’s fabric. Rain fly is sturdy and easy to get on and off, and it covers the larger mesh ventilation panels in the ceiling and sides. The side windows all zip shut too, which I really like. I would have preferred to see it come all the way down to the ground since this is a 4 season tent. Not a deal breaker, but where we camp the rain typically comes in at an angle with the wind, so side coverage is often just as important as ceiling coverage. It is true that the inflatable tents are typically slightly more expensive than their pole-based siblings, but the price differential is reducing as the technology gets more mature. We feel that the ease of use outweighs the slightly higher cost. A user on Reddit wondered if the gap between the screen room and the fly is a flaw in their tent. A more experienced user explained how it’s actually a feature that aids in air circulation.
