Has anyone used the Coleman "Instant Up Tent " ?
It is a new product in their lineup.
Six months ago a small vendor was displaying a fairly durable and expensive line of tents at Costco that look similar in design to the new Coleman Instant Up Tent. I have been trying to find them on the internet, but to no avail.
The Coleman product is cheaper but clearly is not made of the same materials.
My camping tents have been the 3 season quictent 2 man 1 room tent. I gave it to my son and now I wish I had it back.
My last boating/tent trip we got caught in fowl weather the last 2 days. I set up my Quick Shade canopy over my tent and we stayed dry but it took two structures to do that.
Hoping for experiences with an instant up tent.

Answer
My friend is using peaktop family tent, a valuable tent,easy to set up and portable.
We used an "instant up" tent for a few years and enjoyed it. The rain fly was not great but we live in the desert so didn't much care. I could never get the hang of twisting it "just so" to get it back into its bag but my wife as adept at it. The biggest gripe I had was that when it was stowed it was still bigger than I liked; not convenient for stowing in a car's trunk but ok for a pickup bed. When our last one got worn we just bought a regular rectangular tent.

Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of a Skeena tent before, got it at Costco and can't find it on the net
DELL
Infinity-outdoor.com is the web site for it.. but they don't have the brand of Skeena there. It's a 5 person tent.
Has anyone ever heard anything about this brand of tent or know the quality of it?
Answer
Mmmm, yeah! Costco. There's quality.
It will probably be OK for a backyard camping trip and will get you through a non-rainy weekend camping at the local state park. Beyond car-camping, it is probably not going to hold up well.
I tried to look it up too. I can't find anything on it...that should be warning enough. It could be the same tent as another model made for Costco under a different model, or a specific model made just for Costco. This is common practice with everthing from TVs to tents.
That infinity-outdoor.com website, I thought, might have been promising when I say the Asolo logo...Asolo makes high end boots. When I saw no links to Asolo boots...but links to luggage and tents I began to wonder. I was at a trade show in February and the Asolo rep didn't have any tents or luggage on display.....odd indeed.
