Coleman Darwin 2 Tent - 2024

Our opinion:

A nicely priced 2 berth dome tent, that would be ideal for D of E at bronze and even silver level, with a weight under 3kg. The Darwin 2 is a stable dome style tent which pitches inner first. With a small storage area to the side of the front door. No-see-um mesh (no not a mesh you can not see through, but a small flying bug similar to the Scottish midges) helps to keep out the midges and other pesky bugs.

Good value dome tent.

What the manufacturer says:

Similar in style to the Darwin Plus but more compact, the Darwin is a quick-pitch dome tent. The ring and pin pole attachments ensure a simple set-up. With enough space in the front porch for your bags, this is the perfect tent for a fantastic weekend away offering comfort and convenience for active campers. 

Features:

• WeatherTec™ - water proofed to a 3000mm HH rating and taped seams ensures your tent stays nice and dry
• Fully sewn-in groundsheet - protects the tent interior from bugs and water, for an extra level of comfort
• Fire retardant - our material ensures that the fabric will not flare dangerously out of control and will self extinguish, giving time to escape in an emergency
• Fibreglass poles - highly flexible and lightweight fibreglass poles guarantee a good response to wind and storms
