Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The quality seems top notch. My only concern is the durability of the bottom of the tent. Great quality.

The mesh is reasonably good and lots of it for good airflow. Many alaskans and alaskan guides recommend this tent for back country. My only complaint is that there is no rain-fly vent.

Super roomy for one with panniers. Big enough to get my hyperlight cot in there. Easily fit the 2 of us comfortably, both with full size pads.

This is a little heavy for ultralight backpacking. Great for backpacking without spending $600 on an uber ultra-lite tent.

Sleeves instead of grommets makes it faster as does only two poles and no hub. Color coding for the fly is a great idea and the sleeve for the poles is genius.

Cons

The wind and dust rip through the vents in the tent. Tent fly is too small.

Quality

Quality is also good well made no defects i could find

We were happy to see very high quality netting and fabrics

Spent a few nights in this tent and it is the first tent that i have ever been in that didnt build up tons of condensation on the walls

It’s made of almost the same material as the side rather than a thicker material

Price

It is a great backpacking tent for the money

5 pounds lighter and is 400 more

At this price point for a 1 person tent with a vestibule and room for me to sit up inside is ok in my book

Lite for a 4 person tent in this price range

Packaging/appearance

It’s easy to pack and carry on long backpacking trips

Since im only taking 2 the packed weight comes to 4 pounds 4

However asis the tent was the perfect size for me with my sleeping mat my 50l pack and my 45lb dog to sleep next to me in her sleeping bag

Competitiveness

After much searching reading reviews and comparing brands and models the kelly late start 4 won out as our best option for size... Read More

Compared this to some of the top tear hiking tents and i just don’t understand why it’s not in the same category

My comparison i was going to buy instead is the big agnes tents that weigh 23lbs marmot crane creek 2 ul around 4
