Used this for the 1st time over the Mayday bank holiday weekend for motorcycle camping, it was very easy to put up and took less than ten minutes from taking out of the bag to having camp bed and sleeping bag in.It is very spacious (the foot print is around 1.8m x 2.5m approximately)with decent head room (about 1.5 m at its highest point) and ideal for 2.The porch is just about big enough for 2 crash helmets,boots and a backpack .It was quick and easy to dismantle and packs up small enough to strap to the bike .All in all very impressed with this tent and would highly recommend for weekend camping,2 season motorcycle touring and festivals.

Es bastante más amplia de lo que esperaba, cabrían 3 personas sin estar apretujados. Lo único que no me convenció es que me parece muy alta (me llega al hombro). Por lo demás, bastante bien.

Pese a que dice ser para 2 personas, es una tienda muy grande y amplia y sinceramente yo buscaba algo mas compacto.También al ser una tienda de una sola varilla, necesita forzosamente estar enterrados los bordes en la tierra o pasto, no es una tienda para instalar en pisos firmes. El material es bueno, falta probarla con lluvia.

Es una tienda de campaña muy amplia, fácilmente podrían caber 3 personas. Comprobé la resistencia a la lluvia y viento,recomendada.

Excelente casa de campaña, llegó antes de la fecha programada y cumplió con su función no se traspasa el agua nos llovió de moderado a intenso por la tarde noche y después en la noche volvió a caer una intensa lluvia y sin ningún problema fácil de armar y fácil de desarmar muy recomendable

Excelente tienda fuimos a mineral el Chico en hidalgo nos tocó lluvia y la tienda sin una gota por dentro genial lo mejor que he comprado a buen costo.

Fácil de armar, ligera, cómoda, espaciosa, buena ventilación, excelente calidad.las varillas un poco débiles se doblan si no se tiene cuidado.

Compre la casa de campaña para dos personas, y realmente tiene espacio para mas de dos personas, caben 3 y sus cosas, estuvimos a 3500 msnm, no nos nevó pero callo un poco de agua y no le atravesó nada de agua, aparte a pesar de que el toldo le abarca todo, al estirarlo tiene buena ventilación, del peso no me quejo son 3 kilos

Excelente casa de campaña amplia y fácil de armar, en lo personal jamás había armando una, y fue muy sencillo dado que solo lleva una varilla larga

I recently used this Coleman Hooligan 2-man tent on a car-camping trip a few weeks ago at a state park Campground.The tent itself is nice and I like it better than some of the dome tents I've used in the past. The two-person model is really a 2-man tent and I was able to fit a twin air mattress with plenty of room to spare. I am pretty sure a queen air mattress would fit, or certainly two sleeping pads (but not two twin mattresses). I had more than enough room with myself and my (small) dog as well as most of my stuff and his kennel.The tent itself is not complicated to set up, but it is a little tricky (though by no means impossible) for one person. There is only one pole, which goes through the middle of the tent body. This makes it essential to stake down all four corners of the tent as well as about eight places on the rainfly. It is nice that the tent body is mostly mesh so that you could sleep under the stars if there is no chance of rain. The stakes included are the standard stakes that come with anything, so they are not great, but they get the job done (though they bend far too easily). There is also no room to place a rock on the tent body if staking is not an option. I would say it took maybe 10 minutes to set up by myself.The tent fit perfectly on top of a 6'x8' tarp. The bathtub floor does make it seem like it isn't properly set up, but that is just to keep water out. The tent is spacious enough and tall enough that I didn't feel at all claustrophobic in the tent. I'm 6'1" and had plenty of headroom and footroom while lying down and while sitting up or squatting. While obviously I couldn't stand up in the tent, I was able to change clothes without too much difficulty in the tent.The "vestibule" is not very big. While it was big enough to keep boots and a few token items, it is not even close to big enough to fit a person inside of it. That said, it is a nice feature that did help keep a lot of dirt out of the tent.With the rainfly attached, it is possible to unzip a window on one side of the tent and leave half of the vestibule open on the other, providing decent cross-ventilation.On my trip, it endured some rain but nothing torrential, so I can't speak to how well it would do in a downpour. I'll try to remember to update if I do experience that. That said, in the rain I got, it didn't let any moisture in.This is touted as a backpacking tent. I would say this might be a bit of a stretch as it isn't exactly light. However, it does pack up fairly compact. I folded it in half twice (making it 1/4 the width) and rolled it up around the collapsed pole as per the instructions and it fit in the provided bag. It isn't ultralight by any means, but it is a solid option at a solid price. I know a lot of the seasoned backpackers/campers might sneer at Coleman, but at least as far as this tent is concerned, it is a great value and a solid tent.

I purchased this tent in Aug/2011 and have used it 6 times. 4 times for motorcycle camping (Dual Sport trail riding) and 2 times for backpacking.Like everyone else I did a bit of comparison shopping and read many reviews. Obviously I wanted a quality tent that would do what it's supposed to do, keep me out of the elements, setup/tear-down easily, be lightweight and pack small.In a nutshell: I couldn't be happier with this tent.Finding a place for equipment on a motorcycle (Suzuki Vstrom DL1000) can be tricky, especially when you plan to ride on trails, forest roads and open country. It's essential to keep everything to a minimum as far as weight and overall size.This tent packs down small enough to fit into a dry-bag along with my sleeping bag and a ground tarp which is then strapped across the luggage rack on the back of the bike without extending past the outer width of my saddle bags (Cortech brand). Setup is a breeze, simply stake out the dimensions of the tent, insert a single pole and basically you're done! Seriously, after a few setups it takes me less than 5 minutes to get this tent in place. The mesh screen allows me to sleep "under" the stars and still have my own bug free space. Putting on the rain fly is done in a matter of seconds and turns the tent into a completely dry, wind free space including a vestibule area (although it does allow for cross ventilation with the windows and guy lines setup). The tub bottom is great at keeping the floor dry and adds a small layer of reinforced protection from the ground, I was concerned about not putting a protective tarp under the tent when I first used it, but it really isn't necessary.There is plenty of room on the inside, when M/C camping I bring a full size air mattress (after 50+ years comfort is important) and it fits with room to spare (I'm 5'11" and my sleeping bag does not touch any walls of the tent), all my gear (helmet, boots, tank bag, jacket etc..) fit inside the tent without touching the walls as well.I've only been caught in the rain and strong wind (a very substantial rain/wind at that) once and me and my gear stayed completely dry and stable (I can't say the same for my friends who had all purchased more expensive tents that weighed just slightly less and cost a great deal more). In the morning the tent was completely dry by the time I finished my breakfast of coffee and oatmeal (again, can't say the same for my buddies, they had to pack their tents wet... they had all given me an earful because I bought a "budget tent" but after that nights rain they were looking at my tent with great envy! Especially when we setup camp that night and their tents were still wet!).I camp/backpack in Washington state, Oregon, Canada and Idaho at various times of the year so I don't have any "extreme conditions" experience with this tent, just the usual weather/conditions you find in the beautiful pacific northwest! Don't know how this tent would hold up in a snow storm but given its shape it probably would do fine and keep you dry.as for backpacking, yes this tent weighs maybe a pound or so more than other "backpacking" tents but given the result of how well this tent does what it's supposed to do and since my trips are not extreme hikes (2 and 3 night trips moving daily) I have no problem with the extra weight. It lashes vertically onto the side of my backpack very easily and after a day of hiking it takes no time at all to setup. And after you set it up once you can do it in the dark very easily. As you can imagine, if all my M/C gear fits without problems then it's obvious my backpacking gear fits with plenty of room to spare.This is a very good all around 3 season tent for motorcycle camping/car camping/backpacking.If you camp with children then you know their (and subsequently your) happiness depends on keeping them dry and comfortable, easily done with this tent.For the price and performance I doubt you'll be disappointed.Hope this helps you make an informed decision.

The packaging for this tent claims that it's great for backpacking. Like many other reviewers, I would tend to disagree with that statement -- for real backcountry pack trips on foot, it's a bit bulky and heavy.However, for loaded bicycle touring -- that is, camping by bike -- it's a fantastic option. While other tents may pack smaller, the Coleman Hooligan 2 excels at keeping you out of the elements. It's easy to set up and break down and it offers an optimal balance between reasonable weight (around 5 pounds), ease of setup, and performance.I received my tent the night before my trip began, so I didn't have time to add any waterproofing. I was a little concerned about the size and weight of the package -- a rectangular zippered bag -- but realized that removing the cardboard liner reduced the weight significantly (replacing the included aluminum pole with a fiberglass one would also help, there). Meanwhile, when lashed crosswise to my rack, across the tops of my panniers, it turned out to be a perfect fit.At the first night's campsite, I staked down the main portion of the tent by its corners, assembled and inserted the pole, then raised it: easy as pie. I consulted the instructions briefly before tossing the fly over. Turns out that the fly fits well enough that you don't absolutely have to guy it out if you're expecting fair weather and low winds -- but I decided to guy mine out anyway, just in case.An unexpected downpour at 1 AM confirmed the wisdom of that decision. I awoke to the sound of torrential rain pounding down on my drum-tight rainfly -- but not so much as a single drop made it into the tent. Even my shoes, parked out in the vestibule, stayed perfectly dry.In the morning, my tent was the only one that had not admitted any water at all. At least one tent costing twice as much as partly flooded. The Hooligan 2's deep bathtub bottom and a rainfly that only touches the mesh of the main tent along the ridgeline ensured that everything stayed dry. There was no moisture-transfer through the fabric as one might expect with a standard dome tent.As we prepared to strike camp and move on, I swiped some of the remaining water off the surface of my tent's rainfly. It beaded up and rolled right off, leaving a dry fly ready to pack. What little moisture remained evaporated almost immediately once I had set up at the second night's campsite.Setup, overall, took about 10 - 15 minutes the first time (subsequently, I got it done in about 5). There's a slight learning curve involved if you're used to two-pole dome tents, but taking it slowly(ish) the first time takes care of that.That said, there are a couple minor drawbacks to this tent. First, it's not a freestanding tent. It would be hard (though not impossible) to set up where you can't stake it down. Second, the stakes that come with it are a tad on the chintzy side. That said, they (in combination with a set of aluminum stakes I used to peg out the corners) did just fine for guying out the rain fly and holding the vestibule.I won't knock a star off for either of those -- the first is a function of the design, and I think the design works very well; the second is typical of almost every tent on the market.I plan to use this tent solo, but it's certainly roomy enough to hold two cyclists (even not-terribly-skinny cyclists!) and their stuff. My Camelbak (one of the 2-liter military-issue models with lots of pockets and big, comfy straps) and a bunch of random stuff that I didn't leave in my panniers overnight stayed in my tent with me and I still had lots of room to spare. The bike, of course, stayed outside.One last point: in considering the weight of this tent, please remember that many of the tents rated at two to three pounds are quoting weight without the rainfly, which is often sold separately. This full-mesh tent comes with the rainfly, which is included in the cited weight. In the right weather, you could leave the rainfly at home and shave some weight -- but, frankly, for bike camping, it makes more sense to shave a little weight somewhere else (in my case, to pack a sleeping bag that doesn't weigh over five pounds) and bring this tent because it works so darned well.

I purchased this tent in December of 2010 for casual car camping. I have used it on numerous occasions during good weather and pouring down rain. It has never disappointed me.The tent itself is made up almost entirely of mesh. It is 6' wide by 8' long and has a high roof line. The tent floor is a bathtub style and is very thick and water resistant. The door of this tent is quite large. So entering and exiting the tent is easy. It also offers a nice size window in the back which you can unzip.This tent comes with a full coverage rain fly. Which means it reaches to the ground. The rain fly also forms a decent size vestibule over the door. It provides a nice place to store things out of the weather that you don't want inside of the tent. Like muddy boots! During nice weather you can open the rain fly up at the door and secure it out of the way. There is also a window on the back of it which you can unzip. Doing this provides good ventilation through the tent.Once set up this tent is quite spacious for one and more than adequate for two. Since you lay the 8' way there is plenty of room at your head and feet. Due to the high roof line it seems airy. You won't suffer from claustrophobia in this tent! This tent is a "A" frame style with steep sides. Which means rain will run off of it very quickly. So there is less chance water will soak through the rain fly.This tent uses only one pole. So it is not free standing. You must use tent stakes. Some people may consider this a disadvantage, but I do not. Once the tent and rain fly are staked down you will have a very wind and rain resistant tent.Some advice about this tent. Use good tent stakes. The stakes which came with this tent are nothing more than paperclips on steroids. I bought "MSR Groundhog" stakes. During windy or bad weather guy the tent out with the provided guy lines. Seam seal the tent. I used "McNett" seam sealer with good results. I have never seen a drop of water inside of this tent! Even though the tent floor is thick use a footprint under it. I bought some "Tyvek" and cut it slightly smaller than the tent floor.The biggest complaint about this tent is the weight. I agree it is too heavy for backpacking. Unless there are two of you to share the load. Then it would be fine. Other than the weight issue I feel this is a great tent for the money!7/20/2012 Updates:While my tent was still under warranty the zipper for the rain fly door broke. I contacted "Coleman." They requested proof of purchase and that I email them a picture of the broken zipper. Using my digital camera I did so. About a week later I received a brand new tent! Thank you for standing behind your product "Coleman!"Yesterday I was out in my tent during one of the worst string of thunderstorms I can remember. All told about an hour of high winds and heavy rains. I didn't see one drop of water in the tent and even with the strong winds the tent felt secure. Since owning this tent I have seam sealed it twice with "McNett" seam sealer and continue to use "MSR Groundhog" stakes. I still recommend both products highly.
