Kelty Cabana Three Season Tent




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.

2 Stars Gunnison 4 and 4.1 do not use the same footprint
Not sure why I see it online so much as if it is the same model, but there are separate footprints for these tents.

3 Stars Too Small
Quality fine but seems quite small, almost as if for the 2.1. It was sealed in the package and I know that it shouldn’t stick past the edges, but I wonder. Either way not really worth the trouble of a return.

Schwinn OPP Bell Colors May Vary Black or Chrome



User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Built well but does not always sound good
This bell is metal which gives it the appearance of being sturdy. The trigger is stiff and does not glide smoothly. The bell also sounds muted frequently. I have to play with it to get it sounding right.

5 Stars Great Bell
This bell works great. It makes a nice sound that meets most local laws because it is audible at over 100 feet in my experience. Just like any bike bell, however, it doesn’t work in the rain or when the surface (chiming device) is wet. The water dampens the vibrations that make the nice “briiing” sound. When dry, though, it’s wonderful!

4 Stars Great Bell, Wrong Description
This bell was better than expected performance wise. It was easy to ring compared to the other similar brands that I’ve tried. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the wrong description. The bell that I got was neither black or chrome as described but rather a silver PAINTED one.

5 Stars Blast from the past
The sound of this bell brings back memories of riding my bike through the neighborhood I grew up in as a kid. I mounted this bell on my “adult” bike and feel the feedom of childhood again whenever I ring this great sounding bell. Fun stuff. Now, I am considering putting streamers on the handlebars…

1 Star Does not fit road bikes
It claims to fit most bikes, but is far too small to fit a drop-bar road bike handlebar. It is fragile and not very loud.

At best, this is an overpriced toy.
