Coleman 14- by 14-Foot Event Shelter


... I bought it at a Coleman outlet store in GA on my to camp in the NC mountains for a week. I put it up myself and only needed help to get each of the 2nd legs clipped in to the feet. (I'm a smallish woman) Had trouble getting some of the poles apart afterward, then a friend suggested gently tapping the opposite end of the pole with a hammer,and that worked. In a heavy rain the center vent dripped, but the thing is big enough 5 of us could easily stay away from the center. A small tarp over the top would have fixed that. We hung 8x10 tarps to cover the sides and that worked just fine. The guy camped next to me had one too--his shock cords had come out but he just put it up anyway. 14x14 is a nice amount of floor space, and my 6'4" husband can comfortably stand in it. Down side is I think Coleman has discontinued it and parts may be hard to get. ...

Coleman Broadband Quad Chair


... This is a well made sturdy chair which should give years of service however, since making the purchase I have seen many similar chairs (not Coleman's) for sale locally, for considerably less money. For the number of times I use the chair I think I would have been smarter to buy a "Knockoff" and saved myself $20+. ...

Coleman Harbor Sleeping Bag


... For those who are looking for a COMFORTABLE sleeping bag at a reasonable price, this is the one. I actually ordered two Coleman Colossal sleeping bags for my husband and I, and these Harbor bags for the kids. Well, it ended up they were the same price, and with the same temperature rating, I didn't see any difference between them other than 20 dollars and the color of the fabric! So if you are considering the Colossal ones because you think they have more room, they don't!!

As far as the qualities of this sleeping bag, they are REALLY, REALLY cozy. Because they are not synthetic, they are heavier, but to me it is so worth it, I've slept in warm synthetic ones and been miserable because they are so uncomfortable, whereas this one I was stealing to use as a blanket on our couch, it was so cozy!! They are very roomy, and are made with excellent quality materials. The zippers are REALLY nice compared to other sleeping bags I've had, they look very sturdy with their additional rubber seal and work easily.

One additional thing that I liked about these is that the protective bag is attached to the sleeping bag. No more trying to pack the sleeping bag into a too-small protective slip. I sloppily rolled them back up after using them around the house and though the bag did not cover the entire sleeping bag with my messy work, it did cover the parts that were necessary to protect the bag, and it was MUCH easier than the one's I've used in the past.

I really can't think of any negatives for this bag. Only thing I can remotely think of is the weight, which isn't important to me since we are camping somewhat near our car anyhow.

For the price, temperature rating and quality, I don't think you can find a better buy!!

Coleman 4D Dual Action Widebeam Flashlight


... This was a really great flashlight in both modes, once I figured out how to install the batteries. But it did not survive tumbling from the cupboard under the sink to the linoleum kitchen floor. Now nothing works, and I've only had it for eight months.

It seems like the switch might be flaky. ...

Coleman Fold 'N' Go Camp Pillow


... Great for car camping. So comfortable that I sometimes use it as an extra pillow on my bed. If you fold the pillow in half it becomes smaller and more firm. I usually use it folded when I'm in a tent. A great little pillow if space or packing isn't an issue. ...

Coleman High-Backed Sling Chair (Khaki)


... This really is a very decent chair. It's not super light, but if you've ever had a quad chair, you know what to expect. It's fairly comfortable and so far has been quite durable. I purchased this chair to replace a cheaper quad chair. It's much better in most respects. The only thing I truly miss . . . CUP HOLDERS!!!!! ...

Coleman Cooking Station Table


... After arguing with my partner about not needing something like this for family-friendly camping (I'm used to utilizing the picnic table at the site), I finally gave in and am glad I did so! What a terrific addition to our campsite and and very valuable place to prepare and cook meals and use as a cleaning station after dinner. We used the picnic table as a catch-all and this worked PERFECTLY for storing all of our cookware, water container and as a staging area for morning coffee and evening food prep.

The right side worked great as a place for the Coleman stove and the hard-top counter space worked well for everything else. The bottom shelf stored our pots, pans and stove accessories, and the included utensil hooks worked well for hanging our grilling accessories.

This will definitely be a part of future camping trips and especially so in areas where picnic tables are not provided. It folds up small and is lightweight, making it easy to pack and unpack.

I highly recommend yet another great product from the Coleman family! Photos posted. ...

Coleman California Dreamin Water Mattress


... I purchased this last week to use this weekend on one of Seattle's nicer days! Took it to a small place called Jetty Island and floated just off the shore of Puget Sound for hours! A friend of mine had a water hammock and she was not happy with it. She kept saying she wished she had one like mine.
It was very quick to inflate. You definately can't do it with your mouth, the valve is too big. It' similar to a camping mattress valve. I purchased a battery operated Coleman air pump and that worked great. Filled up the mattress in about 10 seconds. The pump is also small enough to tote to the beach!
The mattress felt very sturdy, good quality, and lots of fun!! I will be purchasing more.....and so will my friend! ...

Coleman Boys Lights Out Sleeping Bag


... I ordered this sleeping bag for my son, and while it is a great sleeping bag made by Coleman, the description for it is wrong. I received this from Amazon and thought it would have a battery operated light strip, it does NOT!! It does have a glow in the dark strip. I called Coleman customer support, and this model 2000000186 replaced the battery operated one. Look on Coleman's website, it does not mention batteries at all. To Amazon's credit they did refund the purchase price of the bag for me after they tried to ship me the correct one. This is still a great sleeping bag and I am sure my son will love his first camping trip in it. ...

Coleman Northstar Tube-Mantle Dual Fuel Lantern


... I am a collector of coleman lanterns. I have always used them when fishing and camping. I have 35 lanterns and camp stoves. Most of them are old,but work fine. My daughter bought this lantern at Amazon for me as a Christmas. It is the hardest lantern I have ever had to light. It smokes really bad for several minutes before the generator gets hot enough to vaporize the gas. Finally,after much smoking the mantle gets bright. I love Coleman products,but this one needs more fine tuning. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I will stick with the old one's. I got a really nice one at a yard sale today for $5.00. It works like they are supposed to. ...

Coleman Trekking Pole


... I am a true trekking fan, i really go up hills very often, as a hobbie, so i wanted a decent low price pole (after all it is a hobbie). Anyways, beside all bad references about the "falling" tip for this pole, i decided to trust the brand (coleman) and the price. MISTAKE. My fellow reviewers were totally right. That tip is pure junk. but as a said, for the price i think it is OK for it to be junk. Very desappointed on "respected" brand Coleman thought. ...

Coleman LED Rechargeable Lantern


... This seems like a well built lantern and the fact it is rechargable drew me to it. I am taking it back, however, because sadly enough ut is too bright! It will honestly blind you if you even happen to look into it, even on the low setting. LED is great and all, but something about the mirrored effect just makes the light too bright. Well, just dont look at it... simple enough, but I shouldnt have too worry about being blinded when playing cards on a picnic table at night. if this will be hanging at the top of your tent for light, probably wont be a problem, but if its going to be anywhere near eye level, id consider getting the rechargable fluorscent version... probably not as blinding. Honestly, this is like looking directly at a filament. If it were glazed somewhat, this could be a great light. Be forewarned. ...

Coleman Base Camp First Aid Kit


... I was about to go with a larger, more extensive and expensive kit, but, to get free shipping, I went with this one and was pleasantly surprised. It's light, much smaller than I thought and reasonably well-equipped. It's perfect for backpacking and I got the chance to use it before my trek back to civilization.

My only qualm is that I wish it were more compartmentalized, as there're only two pockets and things tend to get lost.

All in all, it's an excellent kit for backpacking. ...
