Decent for price but might be better?

Well constructed but seems to be lighter cheaper materials. We will see. Its easy to assemble. Taking on a weekend camping trip will update after the trip. Update (10-06-2025): This tent is very spacious; it held up to the abuse I gave it on my camping trip. Comfortably can hold two people cuddling while having enough room to roll and enough room at you feet for you camping gear and clothing. Would recommend this lightweight easy set-up tent to anyone! Great buy! Read more

Tent

Takes less than 2 minutes to set up. Quality is excellent and weather proof. It's mostly a person and a half tent not 2 person Read more

Excellent tent for backpacking

Excellent tent for backpacking, decent weight at 4+lbs with poles, pegs, strings and rain fly. The optional foot print is an additional half pound or so. Packs well and compressible with straps to custom fit your pack. It's got enough room for two adults, but sleeping pads must be standard sized ones, wider sleeping pads will overlap. Very easy to setup alone, the stake/pole pockets make it a breeze to setup, built in storage for guy lines, and pegs are quality lightweight alloy. It's definitely not a cold weather tent, you will need extra layers anything in the 40s. Read more

Very light, packable

I borrowed a one man version of this tent from a friend, and decided I wanted the two man version for me and my son. It is a great tent, seems very well-made, and is crazy easy to put together. Our first night using the tent it poured and we stayed dry. I’d highly recommend this tent, especially if you’re looking for lightweight, and packable. Read more

Reliable Tent for Two

I bought this for myself and my dog. It’s the perfect size for both of us. Construction is top notch. Held up through winds and rain. Easy to setup. I wouldn’t change a thing. Read more

It’s a Kelty…

Late Start 1 Easy setup and take down. I’m 6’6” tall and fit comfortably but there’s not much room for anything else. Easy to attach rainfly and lots of mesh for warmer nights. Read more

fast to set up and lightweight

lovely, fast to set up. my only qualm is that you likely need a separate tent footprint, as i was able to feel each and every grain of sand on the tent pad i was camping on. Read more
