Coleman Sundome 2P review
Best for: One or two campers on sleeping pads in mild weather
A basic fiberglass dome that suits two people on pads in fair weather; the roof-only fly and single door are the trade-offs.
The Sundome 2 is a 7 x 5 ft dome with a 4 ft center height, one door, two windows and a ground vent. Coleman's WeatherTec floor uses welded corners and inverted seams, and the frame is wind-tested to 35 mph. The fly covers only the roof, with awnings over the door and window, so the side walls shed wind-driven rain on their own.
Good
- Welded-corner tub floor and inverted seams to keep ground water out
- 7.5 lb with poles, stakes and fly; packs to about 24 x 6 x 6 in
- E-Port lets you run an extension cord inside
Watch for
- Roof-only fly leaves the side walls exposed to blowing rain
- One door, so the inside sleeper climbs over; fiberglass poles

Best for: Two campers on cold, windy or shoulder-season trips
A two-door, two-vestibule 4-season dome with a snow skirt for cold or windy nights; at 6.9 lb it is not ultralight, and 55 in is too narrow for a queen airbed.
Two aluminum poles make a freestanding double-wall dome with an 82.6 x 55 in floor and 45 in of height. The 210T ripstop polyester fly is rated PU 3000 mm, the floor PU 5000 mm, seams are taped, and a snow skirt seals the base. Each side has a D-shaped door and a 24 in wide vestibule. GEERTOP lists 6.9 lb, and it packs to about 17 x 7 x 7 in.
Good
- Two doors and two vestibules: no climbing over your tent mate
- Snow skirt, taped seams and a PU 5000 mm floor for cold, wet ground
- Aluminum poles; packs to about 17 x 7 x 7 in
Watch for
- 6.9 lb is heavy for a two-person tent
- 55 in floor width fits two pads, not a 60 in queen airbed
