Best tents for the summer

As the weather starts to slowly get better it means that festival season, and of course holidays will soon be on the horizon.

We have discovered that the new range of family tents from Coleman has a new blackout technology so that you don’t have to wake up at sunrise.

Coleman’s family tent range continues to set the standard for spacious, easy-to-pitch designs that deliver comfort for the whole family. The brand’s range of family BlackOut Bedroom tents, which includes the Spruce Falls 4 BlackOut, Oak Canyon 4 BlackOut and Rocky Mountain 5 BlackOut (3 pictures below), all feature Coleman’s proprietary BlackOut Bedroom technology which blocks up to 99% of light from entering the bedroom area. This ensures luxurious lie-ins for the whole family and helps children maintain their usual nap routines while camping.

Fully taped seams and a hydrostatic head rating of 4,500mm across all models ensures excellent waterproof protection when the weather turns, while mesh ventilation points allow airflow through the tents. The tents also feature UV Guard, providing SPF50+ protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.

For festivals or weekend camping getaways, Coleman’s FastPitch tents, which includes the Swagger 3 (pictured below) and Forest Lodge 4 tents, are the ultimate way to minimise pitching time and maximise your time in nature.

Thanks to the patented pitching system, these tents ensure you’ll be set up in no time. The sturdy steel poles come pre-attached to the tent’s inner and fold outwards to lock into position. You then attach the flysheet and you’re ready to go. The hydrostatic head rating of 3,000mm on both models ensures you stay protected from unpredictable weather, while UV Guard fabrics provide SPF50+ protection from the sun. Thoughtful features such as glow-in-the-dark pegs and reflective guylines improve visibility at night, so you don’t get tripped up in the dark. A front porch provides space for you to store your belongings safely and keep the inside of the tent tidy, while interior storage pockets allow you to keep other essentials close to hand.

The brand’s iconic Darwin tents combine simple, quick pitching with the comfort and reliability that Coleman campers have trusted for years. The Darwin BlackOut collection is designed to deliver a good night’s sleep to active campers, helping them to stay well-rested after a long day in the outdoors. Equipped with Coleman’s BlackOut Bedroom technology, these tents make it easier to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep, even on bright mornings. The range includes the Darwin 2 (pictured below), BlackOut, the Darwin 3+ BlackOut the Darwin 4+ BlackOut, and the brandnew Darwin 2+ BlackOut (pictured).
