Product Information
Full details
The Coleman Darwin 2 Plus Blackout Tent is an ideal choice for hikers, festival-goers, and weekend campers seeking a balance between portability and sleeping comfort. Its defining feature is the patented BlackOut Technology, which blocks 99% of daylight, allowing for restorative sleep even after sunrise. While it excels in light-blocking and waterproofing, its two-person capacity may feel snug for those carrying significant amounts of bulky gear, making it best suited for lightweight setups.

FAQs
Can I fit two adults and gear inside comfortably?
The tent fits two adults in the sleeping area, and the 1.3 m² porch area is designed specifically to house gear so the sleeping space remains clear.
Is the BlackOut material effective in hot weather?
Yes, it helps keep the sleeping area cooler by blocking direct sunlight that would otherwise heat up the inner tent.
What is the weight of the tent when packed?
The total weight is 4.7 kg, making it portable enough for backpacking and festivals.
Does it come with everything needed for setup?
Yes, the package includes the tent, poles, guylines, tent pegs, and a carry bag.
Is the groundsheet waterproof?
The tent features a fully sewn-in, waterproof groundsheet to prevent ground moisture from entering.
Troubleshooting
Condensation forming inside the tent
Ensure all ventilation flaps are fully open and check that the flysheet is taut to allow moisture to escape.
Pole snapping or splintering
Avoid forcing poles through sleeves. Check for blockages and ensure they are seated fully in the grommets.
Water leaking through seams
Verify that all seams are properly aligned and the flysheet is pulled tight. If necessary, re-apply a seam sealant product.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Pitching the Darwin 2 Plus is straightforward due to the color-coded flexible poles. Ensure the tent is set up on level ground clear of sharp debris to protect the sewn-in groundsheet. After use, always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it into the included carrying bag to prevent mold or fabric degradation. If the tent is packed while wet, air it out as soon as possible at home. Keep the ventilation flaps open whenever possible to reduce condensation. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the flysheet; instead, use a soft sponge and mild soap if spot cleaning is required.
