A few years ago, I purchased a Coleman Event 12 sun shelter. For one reason or another, I had not even taken it out of its bag, let alone taken it camping.

With another camping trip planned, I thought it was time to pull out the Coleman Event 12 sun shelter and take a look at it.

I specifically purchased the Coleman Event 12 because its pack size is slightly shorter than the larger Coleman Event 14, meaning that it can fit longitudinally in the boot of my Toyota Prado with my other camping gear.

When erected, the Coleman Event 12 is smaller than the Event 14, but still provides very useable space. My Event 12 also came with a sun wall, which you can see in the photos.
