Coleman – a Tradition in Innovation for over a Century
With over a century of innovation behind it, Coleman is known worldwide for its quality of outdoor gear and constant evolution of its product range. It was first set up in 1900 by W.C. Coleman, who began his career manufacturing and selling lanterns. In those days, most lanterns came with wicks, which were unreliable and tended to burn out quicker. Coleman came up with the mantle design used in most kerosene lanterns till this day, and are sold as Coleman lamps even today. These mantles provided better light and had a longer life.
Coleman has continued this tradition of innovation, which now encompasses manufacturing of all kinds of tents, outdoor equipment and camping gear. Coleman tents feature a number of user friendly characteristics such as better headroom and sturdy structure. Many of the innovative features that Coleman introduced in its tents were later included by competitors in their tent models also.
Most Coleman tents are popular amongst families going on camping trips. Sturdy in construction and designed to withstand high winds, these best Coleman tents come with extra fabric incorporated into their design to give them stability. Rugged in construction, they may not be the fastest to put up or the lightest in weight, but are among the safest, sturdiest and most comfortable tents once set up. Coleman believes in its tradition of innovation and its tents are constantly evolved in features. Their tents feature some of the sturdiest construction and spacious comfort for even large families to stay in.
