They claim the tent is 100 percent waterproof, well, from my experience there is no such thing yet. But the waterproof rating is indeed 2000 mm and you will never need more. This is a fire-retardant polyester plus a No-see-um mesh, and all seams are taped. Introducing the fun OctaGo Tent from Coleman! The Coleman OctaGo is unique looking tent with it eight sides that caters for three campers. With thanks to its design, the Octagon provides a full 360-degree view of your surroundings, perfect for pitching in any landscape! Inside the tent, you are presented with one generously sized living area, measuring 7.5 metre squared! This same area is also the sleeping area! This spacious tent has many uses; you can dress the tent as a luxury glamping bedroom, or glamping pod, a fun playroom for the kids, or a communal room for those summer festival gatherings!

The shelter’s high center height also makes walking around your tent a much more comfortable affair. Meanwhile, its hinged door is particularly convenient if you find that you enter and exit your tent frequently throughout the course of a day at the campground. There are many other factors which influence the performance of tent in tough weather conditions. Coleman use the latest technology and a rigorous testing regime to ensure that we keep you protected at all times - whatever the weather. The tent has a canopy over the front door to provide shelter from the rain and there’s a good flow of air into the tent. Inside, the single living/sleeping area is big enough for four adults, but would perhaps work better for a couple, with or without kids. Although you can’t stand upright inside, there is plenty of room to move around, and the mesh windows mean it feels bright and spacious. At 45.6 lbs (20.7 kg), it is by no means an ultralight tent, so it’s not going to do much good for you outside an organized campground.

It even includes a removable room divider, should you want to divvy up your sleeping space at night.

There is airflow under the fly from the ground, and this works, but without a roof vent, condensation can be a real issue with this tent. Overall, the Coleman Octagon is a sure bet for family camping and glamping trips at the campground. We love the large open floor plan, the high ceiling height, and the ability to create 2 separate rooms with the included divider. Weather-Resistance

In addition to stainless steel poles, this tent comes with fiberglass poles for the awning and hinged door. Fiberglass is a strong but lightweight material that’s popular in many modern tent designs for non-load-bearing features. Polyester Taffeta The flysheet has a hydrostatic head of 2,000mm, which should be adequate to deal with downpours, and UVGuard coating with an SPF 50 to protect you from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Because it’s pitched inner first, it’s possible to use it without the flysheet attached as a bug-proof summer room for the garden. The last major component of this tent is its no-see-um mesh, which is found on the canopy and windows. No-see-um mesh is more or less the standard in the tent world for canopies and windows because it's highly breathable. Weather-Resistance The tent is nicely proportioned, it is not particularly tall, the inner peak height is 57.87 in (1.47 m), see the picture below. But the diameter is 9.61 feet (2.93 m), so this is yet another reason why the tent looks so stable and sturdy. The tent is not very tall. Ventilation

That being said, most campers find that it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to pitch this tent, especially if one is alone.

If you’re in the market for a tent like the Coleman Octagon, you must have a solid understanding of all its features before you buy. The Octagon is a former Camping magazine Tent Of The Year and one of Coleman’s most popular tents. Now it has a little brother, the small but perfectly formed OctaGo. It is essentially a smaller – some might say cuter – version of the Octagon, sharing the layout and style of the original in a more compact set-up. That being said, one area where this tent does struggle is in terms of wind-resistance. Due to its high ceiling height of 6’10” (208 cm), the Coleman Octagon isn’t as great in the wind as a shorter, dome-shaped model. Breathability & Ventilation mesh windows allow excellent ventilation and prevent the smallest of insects from entering the tent One of Coleman's best selling tents now has a little sibling, the Coleman OctaGo is a smaller version of the Octogan and shares all of the flexibility and benefits of its bigger brother but in a more compact and cute version.

What We Love About the Coleman Octagon Note also that there is only one door here, but this is quite enough. The door is with mesh and panel on the upper part, and it is partly protected by the small brim. So you can keep it with the panel all the time. This creates yet another window, this is why mentioned 8 windows in the beginning of the text. This fun three-person festival tent features a weatherproof 100% polyester flysheet and complete with a sewn-in groundsheet.

Overview: Right off the bat, the Coleman Octagon is designed to impress. It features a unique octagonal shape (hence, the name) that helps to maximize comfort and livability while you’re outside. Pitching is straightforward and can be done in minutes by one person; start by laying the inner tent out flat and inserting the shorter steel poles into the central hub and the corner connectors. Add the longer upright poles and clip them to the inner then peg it all out and add the flysheet over the top. It can all be done in 10 minutes, max.
