Which tent should I choose, Coleman Sundome 3 or Coleman Hooligan 3?
I’m planning a trip with my girlfriend to southern Chile on Jan 2010 and I have this 2 tents in mind. There’s a price difference of US$30 between each of them (the Sundome being the cheapest one), so my question is, which one would you choose and why? (important aspects to consider: weight, price and not getting wet)
Thanks!
Both models give a stay dry guarantee, The sundome is more of a 2 season tent spring and summer while the Hooligan with it’s bigger rain-fly and vestibule provide even stronger protection from the weather. Although I am a strong supporter of Coleman products the next question to ask is weight considerations. Both of these tents although great in price and weather protection come in at hefty weights for backpacking if that’s your plan. Consider the REI Half dome as a lighter alternative,

There are many other lightweight tents that have great reputations for keeping you dry you may have to spend a bit more but your back will thank you in the long run.
@and by the way I am not a spokesperson for Coleman nor work for them. I am a retired Scoutmaster and camp director and know and use their product extensively. I also use many others as well including brands suggested by another user which also are available at Walmarts and Kmart’s for cheap. You do pay for what you get “sometimes”, often you pay more then you need too.
