Tent Darwin

I used this tent in the Highlands of Scotland during gale force winds and thought that it was going to break and collapse due to the weather. But it didn't and I'm still amazed at how well it stood up to the wind and rain during the storm. Bone dry inside and although it was blown out of shape, come the morning I was dry and the tent was still standing and back to it's regular shape. Can't recommend it enough. Really happy with my purchase and look forward to more camping trips away with the boys. Other things to note are it was easy enough to pitch and only took me around 15 minutes to have it fully up. It's also very roomy and had plenty of room for all my gear. My only gripe was that the porch bit of the tent was flooded, but given that there was a full on storm with gale force winds, I can't really fault the tent for that.

A bit smaller than anticipated, but very quick and easy to set up. The bottom entrance tarp doesn't connect to the side flaps, so we had one incident of flooding on a very raining evening at the door, but no rain made it into the main sleeping compartment so I'd call that a win. If sleeping with another, there's not really space to put backpacks or other gear, but as a starter tent for us it's durability and quality are fantastic!

I recently took the Coleman Darwin 3 Plus BlackOut tent to download and couldn’t be more pleased. Setup is fast and intuitive. The standout feature is the BlackOut Bedroom design: it blocks allegedly up to 99% of daylight, id say it's bit less but definitely means you can sleep in until your alarm, and it keeps the tent interior up to ~5 °C cooler during hot afternoons. I don't know if it's exactly the 5° stated by Coleman but even a couple degrees makes a big difference from 24° to 21° it's definitely noticeable.Plus, with a 4 500 mm hydrostatic head, SPF 50 UV protection, a porch area for muddy boots and good ventilation, it’s built for festivals. It fits a double air bed with room at the side for bags and a good size source for chairs or cool box. Overall, it’s a great mid-size, festival-ready tent that strikes a solid balance between comfort, convenience, and blackout performance

Best tent ever. I never leave amazon reviews but I needed to share my experience as I found tent shopping very stressful! I purchased this tent for a 4 night trip to Silverstone in July 24. I was going on my own, I hadn't camped since I was 12 & was clueless to what I needed and how to put up a tent. This tent is worth every penny and more. Firstly the tent is super easy to put up. I'm 5ft1 was on my own & managed to put the tent up quite quickly with no issues. I did practice twice at home, instructions fairly clear. Its light weight to carry and transport. The main thing - durability. This tent was one of the few that survived the worst downpour & storms last July. For content It was thundering, severe winds of 40 mph+ & the camp side flooded - a lot of people actually had to go home because their tents were submerged in water but this little tent didn't leak or collapse!! Very expensive tents ended up getting abandoned and the air tents collapsing. The wind was so bad the corporate clamping tents blew away but not this thing!! Im still in disbelief that it didn't flood! Now if a review says the tent leaked there's one of two reasons. Either 1. It was damaged prior to putting it up. 2. It wasn't put up right. As with all tents I would recommend sitting it on an extra groundsheet. The only issue I had was water coming into the entrance mat because theres a small gap but thats a design flaw on a lot of tents. But if youre looking for a festival tent this is the one! Sizing wise it is small. Two adults will only just fit in comfortably, I'd recommend sizing up if you have a lot of bags or don't have anywhere else to put clothes (i.e a car).

Great tent. Used it last night when it rained and was waterproof. It fits a double and two single air beds and 4 adults fit snug inside. Great for the money we paid.

This Tent had so many good reviews, I thought I was going to love it. The front porch has no netting, and so no ventilation. The floor could easily flood in heavy rain, the poor design has the sides falling flat and there are gaps from the outer shell to the floor. Inside the tent there is no ventilation and in the sun it gets hot super fast. There is not enough netting to keep air flowing when needed. In the cold weather it is very cold, and you'll need extra bedding to stay warm. If the front porch had a an option for screen window or door as well as the plastic windows, that would be better and if there was more ventilation in the tent/sleeping area that would be better as well. It's easy to set up and tare down. But I have not been able to fold it well enough to get it back inside the bag. If someone could post a tutorial on how to fold and store in bag that would be great. I am not sure how long I will keep this tent I actually prefer my one man tent from NightCat... and that's hillarious. But the NightCat one man green tent has been great and I didn't need the extra bedding to keep me warm and the ventilation is perfect. It has also lasted through 3 years of camping in Ireland's crazy weather, including a storm. I upgraded for the porch, but I am not thrilled with the Coleman Darwin 3+.

Likes - fairly compact, quick and easy to put up (inner first and chuck the outer cover over), most importantly warm and dry. This was tested in bonnie Scotland's finest of gale and pouring rain for 24 hours straight. Wind proof too. Didn't feel a draft inside as the gales howled by. Dislikes- I ordered the 3 plus expecting a reasonable amount of space. I had 2 single air beds inside and there wasn't a chance we could fit even half of a third one in so it's deffo a 2 man with a little space unless you want to be really up in each others face as a 3. The outer porch area if you like isn't sealed off due to the outer layer going over the top so anything at the edges sticks out under the top cover and got wet in the rain/not "secure". The elastic toggles on the outer layer are glued together, 2 of them broke on first use due to the severe winds - luckily I noticed and just tied them back together. Overall, disappointed with the size but it did the job well for my partner and I. I won't be able to use it with my niece and nephew as well though as originally hoped but I'd definitely recommend with this in mind and buy another Coleman product as a result.

First things first: yes, we got water in the porch area (from one side only) but there was a storm and the wind was blowing really hard. Having said that. During that same storm we kept dry and cosy in the actual sleeping compartment. The tent is great, we love our space so we actually got the 4-person one for just two of us which was very useful in a situation where we had to spend lots of time in there shielding away! Super easy to erect, super easy to take down and pack away. Just fab all round. The porch area is super useful, during the storm it did provide that very much needed transitional space that's neither outdoors nor indoors. Perhaps there is something we could do to seal it even better but with the way the wind was blowing I'd say we got very little water in there! My only advice would be to not assume the porch is a place to dump any valuables or anything you don't want to get wet, but why would you?

Excellent product.

Excellent produit de camping. Avec la marque Coleman, jamais de déception. Résiste au vent, à la pluie, très pratique à monter. Produit à recommander !

Je cherchais une tente qui soit petite dans son rangement pour pouvoir l'emmener à moto. Le contrat est rempli et la tente se monte et démonte assez rapidement. J'espère qu'elle tiendra dans le temps mais pour l'instant très satisfaisant. La tente n'étant pas très large à l'intérieur, cela convient surtout pour une personne avec les bagages.

Das Zelt wurde in der prallen Sonne auf einem Festival ausprobiert. Die Schlafkabine ist deutlich dunkler als in einem Zelt ohne Verdunklung und auch einige Grad kühler, was das Ausschlafen nach einer Festivalnacht erheblich vereinfacht. Wichtig ist, dass das Zelt ordentlich abgespannt und alle Lüftungsstege aufgestellt werden, damit die Zirkulation gut funktioniert. Durch den an die Schlafkabine angenähten Boden des Vorzelts bleibt es im Schlafbereich. Wichtig ist, dass auch alle Befestigungspunkte genutzt werden, damit nichts verrutscht. Auf- und Abbau sind leicht durch eine Person zu bewältigen und gehen mit ein wenig Übung ratzfatz. Für 2 Personen gut geeignet.
