Wen­zel Klondike Eight-Person Fam­ily Cabin Dome Tent Review

 

The Wen­zel Klondike Eight Per­son Fam­ily Cabin Dome Tent is room enough to live up to its title and put up eight peo­ple for the night. Although it will be a tight fit, unless some of the campers are chil­dren. Mea­sur­ing six­teen feet by eleven feet there is even space to store your acces­sories and lug­gage. The ceil­ing height is six and a half feet in the cen­ter and being a dome tent the height tapers towards the edges but is still near six feet on the edge. Most peo­ple will be able to walk around the Wen­zel Klondike with­out bend­ing or bump­ing your head. There is over 158 square feet of floor space includ­ing the sun room. The sun rooms mesh  walls can close giv­ing you more space. At 27 pounds the Klondike is too heavy for hik­ing and back­pack­ing, which is expected for fam­ily camp­ing tents.

Rais­ing the Klondike took less than twenty min­utes the first time. We now are able to get it up in around fif­teen min­utes. Set­ting it up does require two peo­ple due to the large size. The rain fly reminds me of  a base­ball cap the way it fits over the dome and then gets flat. It was easy to put on as well, but also took two peo­ple to get it right. The poles are shock corded which makes assem­bly go a lit­tle smoother.

The Wen­zel Klondike has all the weather fea­tures we’ve come to expect in mod­ern tent and then some. The Weather Armor poly­ester fab­ric repels water. It hasa polyurethane coat­ing that not only helps keep rain out but it helps keep in the warm air if you have all the screened areas closed up.  the seams are dou­ble stitches for extra water pro­tec­tion. The tent is designed with power cor­ners that help keep it upright dur­ing heavy winds. The dome tent shape also helps with the wind. With the rain fly removed  the roof is all mesh not only giv­ing you great views of the night sky but allow­ing for extra air flow on hot nights. There is a rear vent near the floor that allows a ground  breeze so stay­ing cool should never be  a problem.

The Wen­zel Klondike comes with a screen room in the front is a great place to get some shade. We like eat­ing our meals here to keep the flys off of our food. the screens close allow­ing for extra sleep­ing space, stor­age area, or just a place to kick off your shoes before enter­ing the main tent. there are two pock­ets that hang to give you some extra stor­age space, and we all need that.
