Kelty TripTease Lightline Review

Kelty TripTease Lightline
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Kelty triptease lightline cord is gold in color, about 3/32" diam., and is labeled as 1 oz for 50 feet, braided nylon, labeled with 188 pound break strength (didn't test), with lifetime warranty, contains a single reflective thread sewn in a X pattern, 4 Xs per inch of cord.Reflectivity with a flashlight is okay and functional.Note that the Viper Equinox is much better for reflectivity.

Viper Equinox is a competitor sold by Campmor and others at much lower price than Kelty.It is also gold color, a little larger at 1/8" diam., has 3M reflective thread with 2 threads per X pattern, 4 Xs per 1.5 inches of cord.It is also braided nylon, model ELW401.It is about twice as reflective as Kelty.Also sold in 50 foot pieces.

Another option is REI's blue,green, and white cord, that is braided, 1/8" diameter, single reflective cord sewn in a spiral dash with about 4 lines per 1.25 inch of cord. It has about the same reflectivity as the Kelty cord, but it also adds a glow in the dark feature that actually works for several minutes after a flashlight hits it. The glow in the dark white cords are a series of 4 threads together with 3 of the sets per inch of cord.Basically, the glow cords are about 75% of what you see on a cross section and the reflective cords are about 5%. This cord is about the same cost as Kelty.One additional advantage is that it is sold by the foot, so you can get a small piece or a really long piece.

Coleman Cool Zephyr Window Fan Review

Coleman Cool Zephyr Window Fan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Yes, the fan can be a little loud... but I LIKE that feature.When you're bike riding across the state of Iowa with 10,000 of your closest friends the fan can drown out all the little noises of your neighbors in their tents.But most importantly, it will keep you cool in the late July Iowa weather.

One of the best features of this fan over others like it, is that the battery pack plugs into the fan.When you break camp for the night you just unplug the battery pack and store it in your bags.With other fans the batteries remain in the fan and it is too easy for the switch to get bumped during travel leaving you with dead batteries at your next campsite.

A must have for your tent.

Coleman Road Trip Beach Shade Review

Coleman Road Trip Beach Shade
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We ordered this cabana because we wanted something to protect our 1 year old from the sun at the beach, with more coverage than an umbrella.We've used this once at the beach so far, and it seems to do the job pretty well.It's pretty easy to set up, though not as easy as the pop-up versions -- but those usually cost significantly more.It's very lightweight, too.My husband, my baby, and I fit comfortably under the shade in sitting positions, and could stretch out with our legs sticking out, too, with minimal sun exposure.

Some criticisms: 1) I think they should include two more stakes for the "door" so you can secure it in the down position.2) It would be better if there were some smaller "windows" higher up, other than the rear window/door.The way it is now, you only get air flow by opening the rear window/door, and in certain conditions, this would significantly reduce your shade area in the cabana.3) When at the beach, it's a little tough to fold up the fabric properly without trapping sand in it.Beaches are usually fairly breezy, and if you try to fold it from being flattened on the ground (as is the proper way), the flapping fabric and blowing sand is quite annoying.

In short, if you don't want to spend twice as much money for the pop-up, spring type, then this should suit you just fine.

    Coghlan's Inside/Outside Tent Mat Review

    Coghlan's Inside/Outside Tent Mat
    Average Reviews:

    (More customer reviews)
    There is nothing wrong with this product at all for the price.We used it inside our tent for a place to step in and take off shoes.I was affraid is was going to be very thin and cheap, but turns out is was just right (for inside).The bottom has a little grip so it doesn't slide all over.I just wish I could get one a little bigger.We roll this up with our tent for storage.Not sure how this would work outside, I am guessing it would get dirty fast and I don't think it is sturdy enough to be used that way.

    If you need a small floor mat to put inside your tent, this will work great.

    Coleman Tent Power System With Fan Review

    Coleman Tent Power System With Fan
    Average Reviews:

    (More customer reviews)
    I assume anyone reading this or thinking of purchasing has camped in the heat before and experienced what it's like waking up inside of an easy bake oven. I purchased this item for Bonnaroo 2010 to hopefully make 4 days living in 90+ degree temperatures somewhat bearable. I had hoped to delay the inevitable of waking up at the crack of dawn and getting another hour or so of much needed sleep. There would be no such luck as the fan blade assembly came off of the shaft after just an hour of use!! I reattached the blade assembly and as you can imagine within a few minutes it was off the shaft again.

    The assembly is plastic with foam fan blades, light enough to maintain longer battery life but not designed for longevity. A simple grub screw and a flat spot filed on the shaft would have easily corrected this problem.

    I imagine most will be sent back and they'll be available on discount sites in the near future. Save your money and look for a solution elsewhere.

By itself, the light will run for 30-35 hours on a set of batteries; the fan will operate on the High setting for 10-15 hours, and with the light and fan together (on High) you'll get 7-12 hours of power.
