The truth is: it actually takes less than 30 seconds to set up Poler’s palatial 4-Person Tent.

It’s a swift and smooth process, too, thanks to the Poler Mechanical hub system – a built-in series of pop-out poles. To initiate set-up, one must simply pull the tent’s grab handles in opposite directions and in mere moments, the tent will expand out into a sprawling A-frame.

Measuring 80 x 84 x 50 inches, Poler emphasizes that this new tent is the “newest and biggest addition to the Poler tents family.” Below, we’ll explain why it deserves a place at every campsite.

The Backstory

Poler: Making Practical Outdoor Gear for Every Adventure

Based in Portland, Oregon, Poler has been around for over a decade, during which the brand has championed its mission to bridge the gap between “action sports and traditional outdoor activities.” The team at Poler is laser-focused on creating practical outdoor gear and promoting #CampVibes, which they define as “a state of overwhelming joy, relaxation and enlightenment.” To that end, Poler’s products are playful yet durable, time-tested but also colorful – even silly sometimes, but always downright dependable.

A brand for first-time campers and seasoned pros alike, Poler’s offerings comprise everything from sleeping bag ponchos to hatchets. In recent years, the company has launched – and innovated upon – several fun tents. Our recent favorite? The new 4-Person Tent.

What Makes Poler’s 4-Person Tent Notable?

First things first, it’s important to note that this is firmly in the car-camping tent category. At 14 pounds, you won’t want to haul it up a mountain – but due to that 30-second setup time, you’ll want to bring it everywhere else.

The 4-person Tent also boasts full-screen walls on both sides, providing steady airflow – and gorgeous views – during warmer seasons. Its base, doors and included rainfly are made with rainproof fabrics (specifically, 21d Polyoxford PU coated 2000mm).

Replete with two large vestibules and enough room to sleep four people comfortably, this tent is a luxurious step up from shorter dome models. Its iconic A-Frame aesthetic will keep it trendy for years to come, and durable materials and construction will guarantee you can count on it for several seasons.

Our POV

Poler’s 4-Person Tent Will Transform Your Next Camping Trip

Car campers typically count on a certain level of luxury, like having along favorite craft beers and, say, charcuterie – rather than dehydrating dinner in a bag, à la hike-in camping. There’s plenty of room for happy hour in the Poler 4-Person Tent. At the very least, you’re sure to feel more at home in this tent than in a smaller, flimsier model. Its mechanical hub system is a game changer: skip the frustration (and ensuing arguments) that usually accompanies tent setup. You’ll wake up to gorgeous 360° views through its mesh screens rather than stale airflow and claustrophobic nylon panels.

Plus, with room for four – or one couple and a very, very large dog – you’ll always have room to pack in something extra special.
