"We had a rainy trip one year and having the extra room to hang out in the tent playing board games made the kids happy."

"Goes up super fast"
"When my family camps, one adult can set the tent up in 1-2 minutes while the other watches the toddler. ... The poles stay attached to the tent always, so set up and break down are really easy."
"I was hesitant about the instant part of it having not used one before, but I love it. I can put it up/take it down by myself"

"My core instant tent went through damn near hurricane storms and not even a drip."
"I haven't had any ripped on me in 10+ years, between coleman and core"
"The 10 person core will be amazing for you. ... I've used it for years before moving most of my camping to my pop-up. But I still use mine for the occasional trip."

"With our 2nd tent we did do a camping trip when it was super windy and the tent held up no problem. ... it's fine once you get it set up and staked down."

"The one downfall I would say is the rigidity of the tent poles. ... Was setting up the tent on a windy day and the wind caught the tent just perfectly so that it bent one of the poles. ... Luckily the tent still worked but the bent pole was eventually going to snap so I had to get a new tent. ... So I'd say just be careful when setting up if it's windy – it's fine once you get it set up and staked down."
