# Sunlight-Blocking Tents The Coleman Dark Room Skydome Tent Blocks Up to 90% of Sunlight By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-02-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coleman-dark-room-skydome-tent References: [gearculture](https://gearculture.com/goods/coleman-dark-room-skydome-tent/) & [coleman](https://www.coleman.com/tents) A common issue with traditional summertime tents on the market is the mass amount of heat they retain and how bright they can be in the morning, which are two things the Coleman Dark Room Skydome Tent aims to solve. The tent is made with the brand's Dark Room technology that is reported to block out a whopping 90% of sunlight to let campers sleep in even after the sun has risen or even head to bed before sunset. The heat reduction design also works to keep the interior of the tent at a comfortable temperature at all times. The Coleman Dark Room Skydome Tent comes in four, six and eight-person size options, and features a durable frame that will resist windows up to 35mph. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sunlight-blocking Tents:** Innovative materials and technologies can be used to create tents that effectively block out sunlight and heat, offering a more comfortable camping experience. - **Heat-reduction Design:** Ventilation and insulation systems can be implemented in a variety of products and industries to reduce heat and improve energy efficiency. - **Outdoor Sleep Solutions:** Developing alternative outdoor sleeping solutions, such as tents with blackout features, can provide a unique and highly sought-after experience for outdoor enthusiasts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Recreation:** Companies in the outdoor recreation industry can tap into the demand for more comfortable and convenient camping solutions by investing in technology that addresses sunlight and heat issues in tents. - **Construction and Architecture:** Construction and architecture companies can incorporate heat-reducing designs and technologies to improve energy efficiency and comfort for buildings. - **Automotive and Transportation:** Heat-reducing technologies can be applied to automotive interiors and public transportation to improve customer comfort and reduce energy usage. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar Energy-Capturing Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jackery-lighttentair.md) - [Self-Cooling Outdoor Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temperatureregulating-tents.md) - [Noise-Blocking Insulated Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crua-culla-maxx-cocoon.md) - [Off-Grid Backpacker Tent Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durston-xdome-2.md) - [Ultralight Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-dome-1-plus.md) - [Light-Equipped Outdoor Sun Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-starry-night-sun-shade.md) - [Oversized Cave-Like Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heimplanet-cave-xl-tent.md) - [Space-Saving Camper Awnings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonshade-xl.md) - [Nightsky-Observing Clear-Top Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-view-tent.md)
