Tent Pole Upgrade1 answer
It appears people are having problems with poles breaking and I was wondering if you had an aftermarket/ heavy duty pole upgrade available for this tent?
Jeremy - Noosa Heads, QLD(4 years ago)
G'day Jeremy,
There is no aftermarket tent pole upgrade available for the Ridgeline series.
Coleman have advised they have upgraded the poles to a heavier gauge in the last 12months, so there are fewer problems with the current model.

Coleman Ridgeline 2P tent1 answer
My previous tent was the fantastic Coleman Epsilon 2. It had the fly permanently attached to the inner which was a great feature as it kept the inner dry whilst putting up in the rain and made putting up very quick. Is the Coleman Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent fly similarly permanently attached to the inner or do you attach it separately after putting up the inner?
Geoffrey - Irymple, VIC(5 years ago)
G'day Geoffrey,
The Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent has a separate inner and fly, so the inner will need to be set up first, then you lay the fly over the top.

Do you need a ground sheet?1 answer
for this tent would you recomend using a ground sheet or is the base strong and waterproof enough?
timothy - Lennox head(5 years ago)
G'day Timothy,
You don't have to use a groundsheet with the Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent as the floor is fairly durable and waterproof. You could use a lightweight tarp underneath if you wanted, but there isn't a definite need for it.

suitable for south east queensland conditions1 answer
Hey there, I have been looking at doing some over night hikes in south east queensland, lamington, main range and mount barney NP. Would this be suitable or could you suggest something else that wont break the bank? Cheers
Kristal - Manly West(6 years ago)
G'day Kristal,
The Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent has a mesh inner which will make it perfect for warmer conditions in southeast Queensland. It also has a good waterhead rating for wet hikes too.

New Zealand 1 answer
Hi mate. Would this tent be suitable for the southern mountains of New Zealand?
Adrian - Canberra(6 years ago)
G'day Adrian,
The Ridgeline 2P Hiking tent is a 3 season tent, with a fair bit of internal mesh, so we'd be comfortable recommending it for most trips in New Zealand (not above the snowline), however, if you're planning to travel in winter you might find yourselves a little on the chilly side to be honest.

Dimensions?1 answer
Other websites have listed this tent as 52x15x20 (packed), just wondering if you can confirm the packed dimensions. Cheers.
Jamal - Albany(6 years ago)
G'day Jamal,
We've now got stock again and double-checked this for you, we can verify that the dimensions we list are correct.

Does this tent come with or have a footprint that you can purchase.1 answer
Hi I want to purchase a new tent for hiking and was just querying whether this tent comes with its own footprint or is there a footprint ground sheet that would suit it that is available for purchase, Thanks
Danny - Dardanup(6 years ago)
G'day Danny,
The Coleman Ridgeline does not come with a footprint, I'm afraid. We don't stock a footprint that fits perfectly with this tent, however, the best fit would be the Vango Zenith 100 Footprint. This footprint will fit the dimensions of the inner tent but doesn't quite extend to the length of the outer fly so any gear tucked under the vestibule would be sitting directly on the ground.

How big is this tent with everything when packed up?1 answer
I want to go hiking with it but if to large then I can’t.
Caitlin - Perth Australia (7 years ago)
G'day Caitlin,
The Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent is approximately 44cm long x 15cm wide x 15cm high when it's packed in the bag. This is about standard for most 2 person hiking tents.

Overland Track?1 answer
Would this tent be appropriate for the Overland Track?
Amanda - Loxton(7 years ago)
G'day Amanda,
The Coleman Ridgeline 2P is an entry level tent so while it should do the trick on the Overland Track it might prove to be a little tricky to keep up on the tent platforms. Generally, free-standing tents are the best option on the Overland as they require less tie down points.
Leece - Snowys(7 years ago)
Freestanding1 answer
Would it be possible to set this tent up in a freestanding way in a sheltered location without any pegs or the fly? I can see it's not freestanding, but would body weight in the tent keep it stable enough without using any pegs or guy ropes to stabilise it?
Andrew - Perth(8 years ago)
I can't see this working Andrew, it needs to be securely anchored in order for the tent to remain pitched tightly and perform in wet and/or windy weather.
I guess you could place weights inside at each end of the tent, but it will be very unstable.

240cm length of usable space?1 answer
The length says 240cm. How much of that is usable as I'd imagine the walls are somewhat sloped so in practice can you fit two people and a pack at one of the ends?
John - Melbourne(8 years ago)
G'day John,
You're right, the Coleman Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent does slope down a bit at the ends but you should still have enough length to lay in the tent with a pack at your feet. The only small issue you might have is that it's not a super wide tent, so you might need to sleep shoulder to shoulder.
Ben - Snowys(8 years ago)
Does this tent have any ventilation windows?2 answers
It looks like there's one vent where the door flap is. How big is it and can it be opened/closed?
John - Melbourne(8 years ago)
G'day John,
I wasn't entirely sure of this one and no one else was 100% certain either. So I went to go and grab one to set up but ran into our Coleman rep on the shop floor, so he was able to help me out. He told me that the vent you can see on the door is the only vent on the Coleman Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent. That vent can be sealed though if you want to not have any ventilation.
Ben - Snowys(8 years ago)
I purchased this Feb 2021. Mine has front and small rear vent.

Large vestibule entrance1 answer
The ridgeline appears to have a vestibule but from the pictures it looks like opening the fly sheet for access to the vestibule also immediately opens the inside of the tent to the elements, specifically where the head of the guy in the photo goes! I'm wondering if having the opening where it is means it could be challenging to keep the top of my sleeping bag and pillow dry if it was raining and I needed to leave or enter the tent? Is there enough of a recess such that entering and leaving the tent through the vestibule can be done without wetting my belongings (as long as the rain isn't sideways of course!) Thanks!
Roger - Melbourne (8 years ago)
G'day Roger,
You have, like us, identified a design flaw with the Coleman Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent. While there are many great features to this affordable hiking tent, unfortunately, the exposure of the inner tent when the fly is opened isn't one of them (as you've already noted). We are yet to hear of a way around to ensure that you can enter and exit the tent in the rain without your gear in the inner becoming wet.

Can you confirm the fly waterproof rating?1 answer
Is it 2000 or 3000? Your descriptions says both...?
Oliver - Palmwoods(9 years ago)
G'day Oliver,
I've had a look at the packaging of the Coleman Ridgeline 2P Hiking Tent and it's definately 3000mm waterproof rating on both the floor and fly. I'll get our web team to fix the description on Monday, thanks for spotting that!
Tim - Snowys(9 years ago)
can you confirm the exact weight?1 answer
Some websites say that this tent is 1.7kg whilst others say it is 3kg??
Oliver - Palmwoods(9 years ago)
G'day Oliver,
I've taken one of these down to our warehouse and put it on the scales just to be sure. In all the packaging it weighs 1.8kg so I think it's fair to say 1.7kg is reasonably accurate.
Tim - Snowys(9 years ago)
Weight1 answer
Hi there, confirming the total weight including fly is 1.75kg? I'm curious as to what the 50g difference is in weight between the 'min weight' and 'weight'. Thanks
John - Canberra(9 years ago)
G'day John,
Normally the definition of 'min weight' is the weight of the minimum amount of gear you need to get the tent standing, so it excludes any extra pegs, guy ropes, ground sheets and spares that might be included. In this case I'm not sure exactly what the 50gms is, Coleman actually don't quote 2 different weights on thier website. I weighed 1 of these for a customer earlier today and in all its packaging it weighed 1.8kg, so 1.75kg is reasonabley correct and yes, it includes the fly sheet.
