Coleman tents: 2023 essential guide

Coleman highlights for 2023

• The new Octagon Extension fits all models of the Octagon 8 and Octagon BlackOut tent, including the new Octagon Grey.

• A full makeover has been given to Coleman’s range of active tents, including the Bedrock, Cobra and Darwin models.

• New Forester range of camping chairs which comprises the Forester Stool, Forester Sling, Forester Deck and Forester Bucket Chair.

• A new camping bed, called the Packaway Bed Steel, is being introduced.

• Continuation of the sleeping bag range containing the Lotus, Maranta, Monstera and Cozy, all in various sizes.

• Relaunch of the Xtreme Marine coolers in a selection of sizes, ranging from 28QT to 100QT.

Offering a full 360° view of your surroundings, the Octagon Grey allows you to completely open up six of the eight sides, allowing lots of air and light into the tent.

The two remaining sides feature a doorway, one with the patented Coleman Hinged Door. The flysheet can be removed and the tent transforms into a bugproof screen room, perfect for the garden or relaxing on the campsite. It’s easy to pitch and can be erected in 15 minutes thanks to the self-supporting tent design and colour-coded steel poles. Full head height throughout makes it a great option for taller campers.

A fully taped 2,000mm hydrostatic head flysheet and rising sewn-in groundsheet provide great protection from the elements. A specially designed octagonal carpet is also available as an additional accessory for those who want extra comfort underfoot.

The 3,000mm hydrostatic head, combined with fully taped seams and a sewn-in groundsheet, will keep you dry when it rains, and highly flexible, lightweight fibreglass poles guarantee a good response to windy weather.

Also, for extra peace of mind, in the unlikely event the flysheet catches fire, it will self-extinguish and not flare dangerously out of control. On top of all that, it’s exceptionally good value for money.

The heathered fabric is soft to the touch, while being durable enough for life outdoors. Drinks can be kept close at hand with the oversized drinks holder but, thanks to a PU coating, the fabric is protected against spillages and UV damage.

The strong steel frame can hold up to 113kg and, when it’s not in use, the folding design allows the Forester Sling Chair to pack down neatly into its own carry bag for easy transportation and storage.
