Coleman Evanston Tent

The screened-in porch is designed for airflow and bug protection, but it is not fully enclosed or waterproof like the main sleeping area. While it provides a great space to relax, you should keep gear that needs to stay completely dry inside the main tent body.

While 15 minutes is achievable, it is much easier with two people. If you are setting it up solo, expect it to take closer to 20 or 25 minutes, especially if you are unfamiliar with the pole configuration.

The WeatherTec system relies on two main features: welded floors and inverted seams. The welded floors eliminate needle holes where water typically seeps in, while the inverted seams hide the needle holes inside the tent, preventing rain from tracking along the stitching.

While the tent is rated for 8 people, that capacity assumes everyone is using sleeping bags side-by-side with no extra room. For a more comfortable experience with air mattresses or gear storage, it is better suited for a group of 5 or 6.

Yes, this tent is constructed with PFAS-free materials, meaning it is manufactured without the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often used in water-repellent coatings.
