“The Two Man Tent” from Poler is a great addition to any car camping kit. Unlike most dome tents that claim to be “two man” (but are really more like one and a half if you want to keep your pack inside the tent), the Poler Two Man Tent could easily fit two people and your bags. It is much more spacious than your average two man dome tent. In fact, this tent can realistically sleep 3 adults as long as they are all small, or two average sized adults and one small child.

When I first set it up, I was quite confused as to how this design of pole layout could possibly work. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly and easily this tent was to set up. It was easy enough that I didn’t need to reference the instruction sheet that is conveniently sewn into the inside of the tent’s stuff sack.

Included are stakes, tie down line, and a patch kit. A 3000mm waterproof coating keeps you dry inside and all seams are taped and sealed. “The Two Man Tent” measures 60” W x 85” L x 40” H when set up, 7” x 18” when packed, and weighs 7.5 lbs, stakes and poles included. The size and weight of this tent prevents it from being effective for backpacking, but it makes it perfect for comfortable car camping trips. The inner tent is nearly all ventilated mesh, which is then covered by the outer rainfly. This rainfly, unlike most, has two clear windows through which the occupants can see outside without having to unzip the tent or rainfly as you would with a normal tent.
