3 Stars Worth every penny and then some!
I recently went on a 6 day pack and paddle in my home state of Indiana, well known for it’s humidity and wicked thunderstorms.

Before I went I had decided to upgrade my tent. The one that I chose was the Teton 2 by Kelty.

On the third day of my trip the weather turned very ugly letting loose with a storm that knocked down more than a few healthy trees near my campsite. At first I was pretty concerned but my fears were unfounded. Kelty’s Teton 2 withstood a storm that would have torn other tents to peices. the only complaints I have are.

1-this is very small for a two person tent.

2-the vestibule was large enough for my boots only so I had to store my gear inside

3- I had some moderate condensation issuses that probably will be fixed with the use of a better ground cloth. ( I opted to use my own instead of buying the matching footprint.)

Overall this is one tough little tent worth every penny and more.

4 Stars It performed exactly as expected.
I just returned from a 6-day/5-night camping trip and this is the tent I used. I did quite a bit of research before making my purchase and these were the requirements of what I was looking for in a tent:

1.) reasonably priced

2.) well made (duh–but you know what I’m talking about…something that doesn’t rival one of those CHEAP 30-dollar wannabe-tents from Target and other places)

3.) easily assembled by one person–and quickly

4.) small and light

5.) could manage under high winds and torrential downpours.

Well, after whittling down my list of possible tents, this is the one that remained. Here’s why I’m happy with my choice:

-At $100 (understandably, a steep price for some), for those that know that a cheap tent is nearly as bad as no tent at all, this was definitely a price that was reasonable.

-Many seams on the tent and rainfly had a pretty nice factory seal and the stitching seems tight and strong. The tent has excellent ventilation with much of the tent comprised of the fine, breathable mesh allowing air to easily come in and out.

-Excellent design for one man assembly. There are no annoying sleeves to slide the two press-fit poles through; they simply and sturdily attach to clips lining down to the four corners of the tent. I was able to set everything up within 5 minutes.

-While this can be used for two people, it would be cramped (31-sqft). It is perfect for one person and the extra gear (The previous reviewer’s comment on the paltry vestibule was spot-on). The tent barely weighs over 4 lbs. which is outstanding!! In fact, on my final day right before tear-down, when I picked up the entire assembled tent to carry to another spot so it could dry in the sunlight, I was amazed at how virtually weightless it seemed to be.

-Two of the days and nights were clear with lots of sun of stars. The others were filled with a windy lightning storm–a slow, long and perpetually annoying drizzle–and a few unrelenting downpours. The tent held up extremely well allowing only a small amount of water in at the corners…which was entirely my fault (See below).

I’m very pleased with this purchase. For the purposes of my trip, viz., solo, weeklong camping–where weight, quality, and price were the major concerns–if there is a better tent out there, its existence must have snuck past me. I’m planning an anniversary backpacking trip for next spring for me and the wife, so a new tent will be necessary (for which price will become less of a factor and where ultimate quality will be of paramount importance); however, for everything else involving just me, this will definitely be my tent of choice.

A few suggestions if purchasing the Teton 2. I would strongly advise purchasing the special Kelty Teton 2 footprint along with the tent. While $30 may seem like a very expensive accessory (maybe this is why the previous reviewer opted not to purchase it), it was a tremendous improvement on other materials I’ve used in the past under previous tents. It will protect your tent floor against minor damage as well as keeping it dry–and because it is specially made for this tent, it is extremely light (easily packs with the rest of the tent) and you never see it when the tent is set up (as opposed to using annoying and heavy tarps). Finally, a word on seam sealing. While all of the seams on the rainfly are adequately sealed and a few on the actual tent, the seam connecting the floor to the rest of the tent MUST BE SEALED!! I recommend using Seam Grip made by McNett (others more experienced than me have spoken of simply using silicone mixed with mineral spirits)…but the one thing I ignorantly failed to do was completely seal the vertical seams of the four corners–which led to a little water seeping in at the corners during heavy rain. If one seals the tent properly, however, the first time, the tent should keep all water out.

5 Stars So far, so good…
I have been pleased with this tent so far. I have a couple of children that I am introducing to the wonderful world of backpacking and was looking for a tent large enough to accommodate us comfortably.

I searched all of the major tent brands and made several trips to REI and other sporting goods stores before I made my decision. The reasons that I chose this tent are:

- It is large. 100″x82″ is a healthy size. Throw on the two vestibules and you have a TON of space.

- Full rain fly. The full rain fly is especially helpful in adverse weather, as long as you have it installed correctly (not touching the sides of the tent).

- Light weight. This tent weighs in at eight pounds even (I have not confirmed this, but the specs show the 4.1 at an even eight pounds). This was one of the biggest factors for me. I needed a tent that I could carry as I ascend the 3000 feet from trailhead to our destination at 10,000 feet above sea level. Most of the competitors’ four-man tents weigh over 10 pounds. If you in a resource rich environment, you can shave weight by ditching the tent stakes and using sticks that you find on the ground as tent stakes.

- Modest price. This tent was within my price range. MSR makes an exceptionally light three person tent but the weight of the price tag was too much for me to carry. I would have lost too much sleep worrying about what the wind was doing to my $450 tent.

There are some areas that I am still a little skeptical about:

- I don’t like the plastic snaps that hold the poles in the corners. They feel sturdy enough, but I am still afraid that this will break under the demands of young children learning to use a tent.

-The bottom of the tent is quite thin. I didn’t notice this at the store, but it was very noticeable to me once I set it up for the first time in my living room. This is one of the few sacrifices that are made to keep the tent light; we will see how it holds up to my children…

My first camp out with the tent was successful; good ventilation, lots of room, and easy set-up. All in all I am pleased with this tent. I can’t wait to get out on the trail and give it a full backcountry test.

5 Stars Better Than Ever
Let’s face it - buying a tent is like buying a house; unless you build it yourself, you are never going to get exactly what you want. That having been said, the Kelty Gunnison 4.1 4-person tent is pretty close to exactly what I wanted, and a great tent.

Packed up: The G-4.1 is at the large end of what you want for backpacking. Packed up, it measures approximately 8″x28″ and weighs about 8.5 pounds, so it’s going to take up a lot of room either in your pack or (more likely) strapped on the outside of your pack. But if you can hack it, that’s really a pretty light weight for a tent this size. On the otherhand, it’s a perfect size/wieght for car camping, if not on the small end of that spectrum.

Included in the package are (1) the tent; (2) two super lightweight aluminum poles; (3) rain fly; and (10) lightweight tent stakes with tie down lines.

Set up: This is where the G-4.1 is truly spectacular. When I got the tent, I quickly glanced at the directions for set up and decided to do a test run in my living room. If you want to do this too, make sure you have a BIG living room and lots of room to manuever the poles, cause they are REALLY long and I was constantly knocking over books and pictures. Anyway, I unrolled the tent and put it on the floor. I then put the poles together — each pole breaks down into several smaller segments that are permanently linked together so you can’t lose them. As you can see from the photos of this tent, the poles criss-cross at the apex of the tent, forming a big X from which the tent is suspended. Kelty uses a “clip” system in which the poles simply click into plastic brackets, rather than you having to thread them through anything. Each end of the pole is then fit into an anchor at the bottom corners of the tent. The rain fly was also extremly easy to put on, with the anchors for the poles also doubling as the anchors for the rain fly. The bottom line, folks, is that I think this tent took me all of about three minutes to set up. I was truly amazed at how easy it was. The best way I can describe it is that the G-4.1 is totally intuitive in the set up — you look at the parts and you can just see how they fit together. Really an awesome design job.

I just took this tent camping for the first time last weekend and set it up in very quickly fading light conditions. I had the whole thing set up and staked down — footprint, tent, rain fly — in a little over 10 minutes.

One thing I would recommend is that you grab six (6) little caribiners to attach the rain fly lines to the tent. They don’t come with clips and you have to tie them on otherwise. Also, make sure the fly is in as little contact with the tent as possible to prevent moisture buildup from condensation. If you have the fly on properly, this is not a problem because the design of the fly and tent take care of that for you. Also, get the foot print or a tarp for underneath.

Tent Features: The G-4.1 has a lot of really great features. First, it has a circular zip door on each side. This may not sound like a great innovation at first, but think back to your camping experiences and having to climb over people to get into the tent. Second, the G-4.1 is extremely well ventilated. There are large mesh sections of the walls, in the doors, on the top of the tent so that air flows freely through. Third, the G-4 has great visibility if you don’t need to have the fly on. The afore-mentioned mesh sections let you see the stars. Fourth, the floor design keeps the bottom seams off of the floor, which will keep you dry. Fifth, there are little “gear” bags on two sides of the tent, to stash your glasses or a flashlight. Sixth, there are clips on the ceiling from which one may hang extra gear bags and the tent comes with a “shelf” that you can tie up there — very handy for a light or for other stuff. Seventh, the rain fly creates dual vestibules in which your extra gear can be stored and, since you have two doors, both vestibules are easily accessible.

Tent Construction: Along with the “bathtub” seams, this tent is very well put together. Tape stiching at important junctures, double stiching all around, and a good, taut, solid feel to the tent. The floor material is good for soft ground, but I’d recommend the foot print just to be on the safe side. The fly fits on like a glove and provides for some ventilation as well. This is a solid tent, and once you get it set up (and assuming you put the stakes in the ground), it’s not going anywhere.

Size: I think we all know that “4-person” in tent-speak really means “4 people no larger than 5′8″ and 160 pounds, maximum.” The G-4.1 holds true to this convention. I’m 6′2″ and I barely fit in this tent the way people are suggested to lie in it (head to toe across the short side), and I don’t fit in with a sleeping bag. I had my wife (5′6″) and my 6-year old and 2-year old also get in the tent at the same time. Thinking to the future, the G-4.1 will be comfortable for three of us but too tight for all four of us. If we all four go camping, I’d bring a 2-man tent for the kids and keep all the gear in the G-4.1 with the adults. But if you have three or less people, this thing is spacious and feels that way.

I love this tent. Buy it!

4 Stars Great tent, lightweight, easy to set up
Have only taken it out once but it was easy to set up, easy to adjust the fly, very lightweight, and easy to roll back up into its sack. I bought the footprint as well. I actually forgot to use this but there’s a gear hammock included along with 2 mesh pockets on the tent walls. As for space, it’s more of a 3-person tent but 4 could squeeze in if you put gear in the 2 vestibules. Get regular stakes if you end up on some hard ground - the lightweight aluminum ones will bend.

Kelty Grand Mesa 2 Person Tent Ruby Tan

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Kelty Grand Mesa 2 Person Tent Ruby Tan

In the early 1950’s, Dick Kelty made backpacks for his friends in the Sierra Club. Time and experience proved that hiking was more pleasurable when the hiker could carry heavy loads without shoulder pain. This was accomplished with Kelty’s ideas of a hipbelt and light weight aluminum frames. A few of Kelty’s popular items are backpacks, adjustable poles, rain covers for backpacks, camp pillows, fanny packs, a carport tent or shelter, Thermolite Quallo sleeping bags,and chuckwagon dog packs.

5 Stars A steal for a backpacking tent!
I wanted a light weight backpacking tent that would be easy to set up, and work as a 3-season tent. I took it out last weekend in the rain and it held like a champ (set up on top of a tarp…the soil in the area was rocky). The doors are easy to zip and unzip without snagging, the ceiling loop is perfect for a flashlight or mini lantern. The little vent allows a peek outside when the rainfly is on.

It is a bit snug side to side….I can sit in the middle, stretch out my arms and touch both sides, but there was room at the end for my pack (I’m 5′7″) and sitting up I had plenty of head room.

I only wish the pockets were at the other end as I like to sleep with my feet to the door, and the pockets were too far down to stash my chapstick and meds. But no biggie!

Love this tent, would buy it again. If you want more space, move up to the 3-person model.

5 Stars Awsome tent!!
My first tent and while Im aware that there are better tents out there Im very happy with it. The first night I used it it rained all night long, and not a drop of water inside it! Its easy for 1 person to set up and take down.

The vestibule area is small and I only kept me and my sons shoes underneath. I dont see how a pack would fit underneath it real well. Also, I am about 5′10″ and I stretch from the top to the bottom. On warm, humid, still nights expect to wake up with some condensation on the inside of the tent, especially if the bags are up against the walls.

Overall, Im very pleased and would recommend this to anyone my size or smaller.

5 Stars loved this tent!
I was very impressed by this tent! The cost is amazing when you look at comparable tents, and set up was a snap.

3 Stars good basic tent
Tent worked well on a two week trip. It is easy to setup and light enough to pack. I used it for a large one person tent and shared it on two nights. Just large enough for two but the vestibule is small. Spikes are soft and bend too easily, you will have to replace them. I like the front entry. A little condensation on one warm night but otherwise ok. I wish the fly flap could tie back without unhooking the front spike, and that the vestibule was a little larger. Newer design tents have more features but this is a good basic tent for a good deal.

5 Stars Great tent
This has been an amazing tent. I am a student archeaologist and have been living in it for the last two weeks. This has involved three storms…last night being the worst with winds gusting at 70-90 miles per hour. There were a few times when it did fold down on me, do to the wind, but each time it sprung right back up. Because it did drop down a couple of times I did get a little water through the small back window. But, not enough to really matter. It was extremely easy to set up and to stake….though I agree with other reviews that those will need to be replaced at some point. It can feel a little cramped…but I have it to sleep in, not to play or entertain in. I can not recommend this tent enough.

Amazon.com Tent Guide
Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Expect the Worst
In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.

Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.

For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.

Domes and Tunnels
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.

Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.

Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.

4 Stars Great weekend camping tent
We are currently a family of 3. There was ample room in the tent. After spending two summer weekends in the tent we still love it. My husband has put it up and down by himself. He has not had difficulty getting it back into the bag. A few bugs find their way under the flaps into the vestibule, but it is still great for a place to leave shoes and put coolers overnight. We put a ground tarp down large enough to provide a floor for the vestibule. We had light rain both weekends and were quite pleased with the tent. The only two reasons I did not rate the tent a 5 are 1- the vestibule door is at such an angle that it is very tough to bend over to zip it all the way down (and in the middle of the night to zip in and out of two doors to go potty can be loud!). 2 - the rain fly goes all the way to the ground and we ended up undoing the back of it and rolling it up on 90 degree days to allow more air into the tent so we did not over heat everything. The tent would not have cooled down to sleeping temperatures during the day. I would not take this tent to a festival where we camped in open fields during mid-summer. Overall, we love the tent, the spaciousness (we will easily have a family of 4 in here), and the vestibule (a great place to strip down a toddler before entering the tent. (They are out of the mosquitos, but you can pick off the ticks before they go into the main tent.) This tent is a good fit for most weekend family campers. It is too heavy for backpacking, but we didn’t mind carrying it in to our primitive site two football fields away from the car.

4 Stars 4.5!
This tent is great. I had backpackers gear already, and got sick of mellow car trips where my dog and I had to squeeze into a tiny tent on a skinny thermarest. Now I generally camp more leisurely and this is awesome. Spacious, bug-free and absolutely a GREAT vestibule. I do struggle to put it up on my own, but it’s worth the trouble. I haven’t zipped the carrybag up since opening it the first time but then I haven’t tried very hard. Now I sleep on a cot with the dog on a real dog bed and we are both much happier campers. It has loops for a gearloft/lantern (LED) and pockets on the sides. We have our containers of bathroom and kitchen gear stashed at the sides and room left for a nice blanket to cover the floor. Pleasant!

4 Stars Great Family Tent
We got this tent before Thanksgiving and put it up in the back yard over the weekend to see how it would weather the upcoming rainy weather. It did fine. I did not water proof it through the first night of storms and it did leak a bit in the back where the rainfly does not come all the way to the bottom of the tent. After waterproofing seams and all, it was fine. I do love the vestibule. It’s very roomy. We used a 9×12 inch tarp under the tent, and it worked well. There was no water penetration from the floor. I recommend that you replace the tent pegs. They are cheap and don’t hold up in heavy winds. You can replace them with the steel ones from Walmart. They don’t cost much, and it’s worth it.

5 Stars great tent, great price
great tent, great price. integrated front porch worked great. we got hit by a 3 hour thunderstorm the first night in ocoee, tn, and we had no leaks. it is kind of heavy but, it’s a base camp kind of thing anyway.

5 Stars great tent for the money!
we very much like this tent. It is well made and we just returned from a camp in all night rain and strong wind. Not a drop of water. It is not perfect, but very much worth the money we spent on it.
