1 / 7Coleman Darwin 4 Plus Summer 4-Person Dome Tent
The Coleman Darwin 4 Plus Summer is a four-person, two-season dome tent listed as waterproof, with a sewn-in groundsheet and a front vestibule for storing gear. Its 5.9 kg listed weight and compact packed dimensions suit car camping and festivals more readily than buyers prioritising a very light trekking load.
At a glance
- Air flaps are claimed to aid air circulation and reduce condensation.
- The front vestibule is described as storage space for footwear and camping gear.
- The listing describes taped seams and a completely sewn-in groundsheet alongside a 2000 mm water column.
- Fibreglass poles are claimed to support quick pitching.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A sewn-in groundsheet is claimed, helping keep the tent floor enclosed against insects and ground-level exposure.
- The vestibule provides a separate area for gear, keeping some equipment out of the sleeping space.
- A 5.9 kg listed weight is moderate for a four-person tent, though still a consideration for carrying on foot.
Cons
- At 5.9 kg, the tent is a substantial load for longer backpacking or trekking trips, especially when shared gear is included.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title and feature copy specify a 2000 mm water column, while the structured water-resistance entry only says “Waterproof”. The title calls this a summer tent and the structured field lists two seasons, but the description also calls the inner tent full mesh. Floor measurements differ between the structured 7.8 m² floor area and feature copy stating 5.5 m² sleeping area plus 2.3 m² living area. Confirm which layout and measurements apply to the selected version before buying.

Less suited to
- Trekking buyers seeking the lightest practical tent for a long distance on foot.

The available aggregate rating is entirely five-star, but it comes from a very small sample and there is no written customer feedback. It offers little basis for judging practical details such as pitching, ventilation or usable space, so weigh the listed 5.9 kg weight and the inconsistent dimensions against your plans.
Frequently asked questions
How many people is the Coleman Darwin 4 Plus Summer listed for?
It is listed as a four-person tent. The listing provides conflicting floor-area figures, so check the sleeping layout and usable space if four-person comfort is important.
Is this tent suitable for rain?
The listing calls it waterproof and claims a 2000 mm water column, taped seams and a sewn-in groundsheet. The structured resistance field only says “Waterproof”, so the precise rating should be confirmed for the selected version.
How heavy is the tent?
The listed weight is 5.9 Kilograms. That may suit car camping or festivals but is a notable load for longer trekking.
What is included?
The structured included-components field lists guylines, tent pegs and a rainfly. The feature copy also mentions a carry bag, so check the selected listing's package details if that item matters.
