What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives conflicting space information: the details state a 2.5 m² vestibule, while feature text gives 1.7 m² storage area and 4.2 m² total, and separate area information states 19 Square Meters. It also lists 4L x 1W x 95H millimetres as dimensions while tent setup copy gives 3.6 x 1.35 x 95 m, with the latter's height unit inconsistent with the separate 95 Centimetres maximum-height entry. The 1.35 m floor width, two-person capacity, and listed 2000mm waterproof claim are supplied, but do not establish how comfortable the tent will feel in use. Customer feedback is mixed on size and water resistance, so consider the stated dimensions and intended occupancy before buying.

Frequently asked questions

How many people is the Coleman Cortes 2 listed for?

What is the water-resistance claim?
