   This Skydome tent sets up in under 5 minutes, and it has space for 4 adults in the dry. Made by Coleman, I can’t find out what fabric the tent is made of – even on Coleman’s website! I believe it is polyester. It has welded seams and is 8 feet by 7 feet, and has a 4 foot 8 inch height in the center. That’s actually taller than other Skydome tents. I’m 74. I don’t bend well! I need that extra headroom so I can get dressed without falling out of the tent and rolling downhill! Sadly, that’s happened! The tent has gear pockets inside above the floor, and a mesh “gear loft” in the center of the roof. Understand that you can’t put much weight in the “gear loft!” The bottom extends up 6 inches and the walls are welded onto it. That means even if it rains, the inside of the tent stays try. Nice! It has a rain fly to keep you dry, and help keep the heat in it. They say it is suitable for backpacking and hiking. Right. Ain’t happening! It weighs a HEFTY 11 1/3 pounds. But for your family camping trip? It’s perfect! It will sleep 4 using sleeping bags. If you like luxury in the wilds, it will hold a single queen sized airbed with lots of space left over for gear storage. It even has a port on one corner so you can run an extension cord through the wall without water getting in! I love it! Later — Now that I have more experience with this tent, I’ve learned a thing or two. First, you must take the lights OUT of the tent before you strike the tent and fold it for storage. If you haven’t already, rip that white tape off of the carry bag that says basically “rip me off”. This adds a fair amount of storage space, which you need! Why? You’ll never get the tent back in that compact storage bag again unless you do expand the bag! And don’t race to pop the tent up. You’ll end up having to start all over again. The instructions are sewn into the storage bag. Follow them and you’ll succeed! This a warm weather tent! There is mesh for a roof. There’s a rain fly that can cover the roof, but you are fully open to the sky and weather without the rain fly. Due to the external skeleton, it is impossible to use the rain fly to stop the loss of heat. For winter and cold weather camping, this tent is NOT your friend! The tent has a “lighting system”. Once the tent is up, you thread the light string through either a solid diffuser or through loops beside the diffuser for brighter light. It is rather a pain to push the light string through the diffuser. It’s much easier to run them through the loops. There is a battery pocket at the top of the front wall. Before you strike the tent you MUST remove the lights!
