The Coleman Cortes Octagon 8 man tent has refreshing design. Perfect for many types of camping events, the Octagon 8 is versatile and can be used as a day tent, for a festival or as a couples trip. The Octagon 8 pitches inner tent first, and can be left as a free standing inner if camping in warmer, dry conditions. However, if camping in the unpredictable UK climate, we would recommend attaching the waterproof flysheet over the top. The Cortes Octagon also features a sewn-in groundsheet, which protects you from the creepy crawlies, and any draughts.

Awesome Door Opening – actually opens as a full doorway – thanks to the pole inside the door sleeve.
Can be used without flysheet in warmer conditions
Can be used as a day tent
Can sleep up to 8
Perfect for couples
Two colours available – Green or Blue

Flysheet Fabric	Polyester, PU coated Flysheet DetailsPolyester – a synthetic fibre, made from polymer units to create a textile fabric. Polyester is the most popular fabric for tent manufacturing, as it is durable, reliable and lighter in weight. Polyester does not breathe though, which creates more condensation. Polycotton – a blend of polyester and cotton, primarily cotton (usually around 65% cotton / 35% polyester split). Polycotton is a more natural fabric for camping, as it is breathable, far more durable material, reducing the effects of condensation. Offers greater versatility in hot and cold climates. Ripstop Nylon – a durable material used in tents which is strong and repairable due to its Ripstop properties.
Doors	2 Doorways at opposing ends of the tent
Hydrostatic Head (mm)	2000 DetailsHydrostatic Head (Tents) – a waterproof rating for technical fabrics measured in mm. The higher the rating the more waterproof the fabric is. A rating of 1500mm is deemed waterproof, but on a tent, look for a rating of 3000 or higher. Measured by the height of water column a fabric weave can take before it begins to “sweat”. “Polycotton” tents will not have a Hydrostatic Head level, as they are not treated for waterproofing.
Berth	4 Man DetailsBerth – This shows the number of people that the tent can sleep within the inner tents of a model of tent, in line with the industry standard. Normal procedure is to look for a slightly larger tent, for example, a family of four usually purchase a five or six berth tent, to give added room and comfort.
