I have had the Coleman 6 person Instant Tent for many years. I also have experience of the Core instant tents. Both have the same waterproof properties, and Core have a number of extra features. The one important difference is the poles on these instant tents. Coleman have metal poles, whereas Core have a less durable hard plastic poles. This became an issue in high winds where both tents were in use. The Coleman tent survived the night intact, whereas the Core tent suffered a broken pole. I do like the Core range for the extra design features, however Colman tents are in my opinion are a better build and better able to withstand high winds. Great reviews 👏🏻👏🏻

@6:23 "All my 14 Coleman tents." Wow! You've certainly got quite a collection! Thank you for investing in these and producing such detailed reports for us.

[brittpacheco]

very thorough review! Very great job! As a new camper trying out camping for my first time this year, you’ve gained my trust!

[ninji]

These reviews are insanely well done, very thorough. I really like the thought of an instant tent as I only will be using them once or twice a year so I don't want a ton of put up/take down time when I do.

My core tent survived 66mph winds in the desert during a sandstorm with proper anchoring. Barely any holes (3 small ones). Definitely great quality. I have the 12 person lighted tent

Thanks for the compare and contrast the features of the two very popular brands. Really useful info.

@B33R TIM3 Hey there! I got your comment as a notification yesterday, but somehow can't find it! Sometimes YouTube does this to my comments, where they just disappear :( But thank you so much though for taking the time to leave a comment! I'm really glad that you like the video 😊 I'm so sorry I don't have the Core 12P though, but I think Core tents are decent quality so I think the 12P will be the same 😊

Had 3 tents from coleman, sold them all not too good. Both CORE and COLEMAN are ENTRY LEVEL tents

Nice review. I am not a camper, but it is interesting to see how tents have changed so much since I was young.

[TheMajenos]

my Coleman tent about 10years plus years old and still holding up no joke my wife saw something wrong with the hub and we take tools with us everywhere, so we fix up and now good as new but I'm liking dark room Coleman.

[jeffsplace]

Thanks for the videos! This was fantastic and I actually made my purchase decision based on your review!

I have an Ozark Trail tunnel tent with two rooms and two doors. There are several windows and I usually leave a bit of both doors open at the top so there isn't condensation. It is great in even a wind storm. Noisy, bit really great. The front room is also a screen room. I can fit two Queen air mattresses and bags etc in there. I usually just have a double and single air mattress If I could put it up myself, it would be even better.

I didn't bother testing it for water resistance. I added water proofing because it seems most tents will leak. The rain fly is a long one so it goes almost to the ground. It also provides privacy if we leave the windows open at night.

I have been thinking about getting an instant tent though because I would be able to put it up without help.

A good coating of fresh silicone before use will stop these leaks

[sydneywright]

Loved the video. Some good tips and reminders in it. Have a wonderful vacation!

[wyattsdad]

Another great vid! The most detailed video there is. Thank you for making this

Core now has a blackout version of their tents, which is something I like. Would love to see a review from you on that. It seems that both & coleman have similar quality, I bet weather and knowledge plays a part in people's experiences. The door on the coleman 10p seems pretty cool going between Core 9p blackout and coleman 10p. From your reviews I am leaning toward the coleman.

[ltol]

Great job! Thank you for the taking the time to do these reviews

It's worth noting that Core does have some darkroom tents (called blockout)--I'm currently testing out the coleman Skydome darkroom 6P and the Core 6 person blockout instant cabin tent. The instant cabin tent is significantly bigger than the skydome when packed (i.e. twice as big) but I'm sure the setup will be much easier and the tent roomier as well. I'm excited to try them out and compare!

[janesmith]

Excellent comparison, very helpful thank you!!
