1 Reviews of the Cobra 3
By: Waynetod Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2010 Rating:  Date: 01/02/2012
Having used this Cobra 3 in the woods in January 2012, I can say I was impressed for the price I paid £55. Practised pitching it in my garden just the one time, I was sure I could pitch this in around 5 mins. I was right. It differs slightly in construction from the Cobra 2berth in that you can enter either side (cobra 2 is a one side entry only). It rained a little during my trip but there were no let downs on Colemans part. Condensation did build up on the inside of the fly due to the extremely damp and cold conditions. As it is made of a lightweight material, I`m not sure how noisy it could be in very windy conditions, but it can be tension-ed as tight as a drum. No such problems in the inner though. Plenty of ventilation in the inner, with a zippable mozzie mesh panel in the top of one of the side doors. Having the ability to open both side doors will come in handy for allowing a bit of shade in the warmer weather and plenty of room for sitting up and outside storage for your boots and stuff. But this is a lightweight bivvi type tent and although great for sleeping in comfort, it is just designed for that only. Sleeping.
I intend using this as a 1 man tent, and the amount of space inside for the weight and pack size makes it luxurious for solo camping. There are a lot lighter tents out there, but cost hundreds of pounds more and lets face it, how far do you carry your gear, More than 2 miles?
Packing away was really quick too. Unclip the inner and fold, pull the alloy pegs on the outer and slip out the 2 alloy poles and fold. Job done. I`m looking forward to using this as a hit and run type tent on the continent next summer whilst touring on my bike.
