How Does It Compare With Other Tents?

Material

The Coody 8 is made out of two types of durable fabric. The tent itself is made from 210gsm TC Fabric while the rainfly is made from 420D Oxford Fabric.

TC Fabric

TC, also known as Polyester Cotton fabric, is a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. Polyester is highly durable, wily cotton is breathable. Combined, this fabric is tear-resistant, and suitable for outdoor conditions, offering better breathability than fully synthetic fabrics, which helps reduce condensation inside the tent. 

Oxford Fabric

On the other hand, the tent’s rainfly is made out of Oxford fabric, a material known for its lightweight yet durable qualities. While this fabric offers excellent features, it doesn't provide the same level of insulation and breathability found in the TC (terylene cotton) Cotton Fabric of our standard inflatable tents, which are ideal for 4-season camping.

Size & Dimensions

Once fully inflated, the Coody 8 has a floor area of 85 square feet (i.e., 126 x 98 inches). The walls are 53 inches tall, with its peak height at 87 inches. That said, it can comfortably shelter about four adults. Alternatively, it can also fit two of our AirBeds.

Perfect for All Seasons

The Coody 8 distinguishes itself by featuring TC (terylene cotton) Cotton Fabric, known for its outstanding insulation and breathability.

This high-quality material makes this tent perfect for four-season camping for two to four individuals. Compared to the lighter Oxford Fabric used in our Lite Series, the TC fabric strikes the ideal balance between warmth and ventilation, making it an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts who camp year-round. This tent is meticulously crafted for campers seeking top-tier comfort and protection in any season.

What comes in the package?

The Coody 8 already comes with all the things you need to set up the tent conveniently. Below is a list of what’s included in the package:

• Air Tent - 210gsm TC Fabric (Terylene Cotton)
• 2x Clear Windows - TPU
• Rainfly - 420D Oxford Fabric
• Entry Mat - 550gsm PVC
• Manual Operated Air Pump
• 20x Stainless Steel Stakes
• 4x Guy Lines (3.5 meters)
• 4x Guy Lines (2.5 meters)
• Carrying Bag for Tent
• Carrying Bag for Accessories

How to Setup the Coody 8

The Coody 8 is easy to set up. You can watch the video below for a quick guide or refer to our step by step instructions below.

Step 1: Prepare your area. We suggest looking for a flat, dry area. Ideally, the ground should be soft enough that you can easily hammer your stakes in.

Step 2: Spread your ground sheet. Optional, but to provide more protection, and to make sure that water will not seep in if it rains, we highly suggest that you place a ground sheet under the tent before you set your tent up. Oliezi Outdoors offers footprints for your tent here.

Once you’ve set up your ground sheet, drape your tent over it and start securing it with the included stainless steel stakes.

Step 3: Look for the intake valve.This is where you’ll insert your pump’s nozzle. This is located at the front corner of your tent’s door.

Step 4: Inflate. Use the right nozzle. Your manual air pump has multiple nozzles that you can use for inflating different camping equipment like airbeds, tents, pillows, etc. Use the nozzle that fits the air intake valve (i.e., 3.6cm in diameter).

Make sure that it is snugly fit! Using the manual air pump included in the package, inflating the tent will only take you 60 pumps -- less than 5 minutes.  As an alternative, you can also use our rechargeable air pump here.

Modifying Doors and Windows

You can customize how you want your tent to look. The tent's doors and windows have zippers on them and are detachable, depending on the temperature of your environment, you can swap the windows with either the TPU clear windows for colder weather or the Oxford Fabric when it’s hotter.

For example, You can roll up the outer window cover to expose the mesh. Like so:

Alternatively, you can also add in the TPU windows if you want to be sheltered from the rain while having the interior lit:

Or, you could also remove the windows completely if you wish:

 

Tip: Want more sunlight? Planning on gazing at the stars at night? You can open up your tent's roof flaps too:

Rainfly Configurations

Please refer to the video below for steps on how to install the rainfly.

Alternatively, you can also use the rainfly in various ways. That's because the rainfly has multiple guyline loop points that you can utilize:

Like so:

That being said, should you want your rainfly to become an instant awning, you can prop it up with additional poles (not included). Here are some examples:

Front, Opened

Front, Closed

Side Vestibule Setup

Deflating and Folding the Tent

When deflating your tent, slowly loosen the protective cap on the intake valve:

We do suggest not to open it up completely. Rather, a slow, steady trickle out of air is highly recommended to prevent your tent from collapsing abruptly.

Folding the tent for storage, on the other hand, is also easy. Please refer to the video below.

Care and Maintenance

All of our tents are made from durable fabric. However, proper maintenance will help maintain its durability. That said, after camping, make sure to spray some mild soapy water on your tent and wipe it with a clean, soft sponge. Let it air dry, disassemble, and then place it back in its storage container.

To prevent mold growth, always store your tent completely dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it while wet, as this can lead to mold and moisture buildup. Keep the tent away from open flames or heat sources to avoid fire hazards. If storing for a long period, ensure the tent is thoroughly dry. Regularly inspect your tent for damage or wear and address any issues promptly to extend its lifespan.

Repair and Patching the Air Poles

While it's unlikely, accidents can happen, and your tent’s air poles might get damaged. If that occurs, your tent includes a patch kit to repair any punctures.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to patch your Air Poles:

1. Clean the area that you're patching.
2. Using a brush, apply glue to the affected area. Note that adding too much glue will cause issues in adhesion. Only apply a thin and even layer.
3. Take out the PVC patch and also apply glue to it. Wait until the glue dries as applying the patch prematurely may not cause it to adhere well.
4. Cut out the PVC patch to the desired size (should be larger than the hole).
5. Place the PVC patch on the affected area and apply pressure. Make sure that the patch adheres to the Air Pole.
6. With a drier, warm the repaired area and apply more pressure with a blunt and flat plate (do not use a knife). 
7. Let the patch dry until fully adhered to the Air Pole.

On Condensation 

Our Coody tents are made from TC fabric. It’s more breathable than regular polyester, maintaining indoor comfort year-round.. Unlike 100% cotton, it also offers better everyday waterproofing, blending comfort and functionality. The tent's large windows also improve ventilation. That is why our tents are popular among campers as they help minimize condensation, especially during winter.

However, the weather is unpredictable and sometimes some form of condensation might occur. This is not a defect; as condensation is a natural phenomenon. When this happens, we suggest that you open up your windows to allow air in.

Manufacturer’s Notes

• During the first 2-3 uses, it may go through a seasoning process, which is the initial period where the cotton fibers expand and contract.
• The frequency of light and sunlight will enhance the waterproofness.
• Inspect the tent thoroughly after purchase and test its use before the initial use.
• Keep in mind that any external damage or defect may not be covered under warranty.
• When using the tent indoors, ensure adequate ventilation to avoid the risk of mold.
• Ensure that the zippers do not get caught when closing the tent to avoid damage.
• The tent is not designed for use in extreme weather conditions; use caution during severe weather.
