    The Coleman Prairie Breeze 9-Person Cabin Tent is a great, big tent that will give you and your group, family, or posse enough space to stay comfortable and really get the most out of the outdoors.  It is 14′ L X 10’W X 7′ H, so there’s plenty of room area and also plenty of space to actually stand up inside which is hard to do in most smaller tents.  Although this is a massive tent, it can still be easily set up by one person in about 20 minutes. Having a second or even third set of hands would definitely speed up the process, and if you need this tent in the first place, chances are you’ll have that extra set of hands!  It is a Coleman fast pitch tent and the poles are color coded for some extra help in arranging and pitching the tent.

    • Tent weight:Its safe to assume you won’t be doing any long distance backpacking, but if you’ve got some distance between your campsite and your car this will be good to know.
    • Tent Materials: Stick with ripstop nylon, high denier polyester, or canvas for colder weather.
    • Rainfly: Not every tent will have a rainfly
    • Windows: Windows in your tent make warm summer camping bearable. Get those cool breezes in your tent without the mosquitos.
    • Side pockets: Many cabin tents come with pockets around the sides which is great for extra storage purposes.
