Kelty Gunnison 2 1 Two Person Tent




The Kelty Gunnison 2.1 backpacking tent offers an excellent set of features at an affordable price. With two doors, two vestibules, internal storage pockets and gear loft loops, the Gunnison 2.1 is a whole lot of tent for the money you’ll spend. Hubbed DAC Featherlite NSL aluminum poles offer strength and stability to the Gunnison 2.1. Lightweight corner supports help to eliminate pole rotation and increase overall strength considerably. Color coded clip construction makes the tent a cinch to set up. The freestanding design allows you to pitch the Gunnison 2.1 and then move it around your campsite to find the optimum position, eliminating an uncomfortable night’s sleep over an exposed root or rock. The Gunnison 2.1 provides 37 sq. ft. of interior space and boasts 2 doors and 2 large vestibules. Offering a combined 24 sq. ft. of exterior storage space, the dual vestibules are perfect for stowing gear and muddy boots. The two doors provide each occupant of the Gunnison 2.1 with an individual entrance and exit, eliminating the need to climb over each other when nature calls in the middle of the night. Sidewall vents, a mesh ceiling and fly vents provide great airflow, preventing condensation build-up on the interior of the Gunnison 2.1. A PU polyester-taffeta rainfly provides excellent weather and UV protection. Maximizing livability, especially in foul weather, welded rainfly windows provide a view of the outside. Kelty’s patented ArcEdge construction lifts the floor seams up off the ground, eliminating potential for leaks. An optional footprint (sold separately) further protects the Kelty Gunnison 2.1 against ground water, roots and rocks.

4 Stars Good economical tent for car camping
This tent turned out to be just about perfect for car camping. It’s a little heavy, but it sets up very easily and is very roomy. We used it on a very rainy night and aside from a slightly damp floor, we stayed very dry.

My only complaint is that the instructions are pretty lousy. There’s no information at all on how to connect a footprint or how to use the gear sling. I spent a lot of time guessing and am still not sure I’m doing it right.

4 Stars Nice tent, not much for camping, though.
After sleeping in this tent for 5 weeks near the ocean (lots of fog/marine moisture at night), I can say it is waterproof with the rain fly (I also placed a tarp underneath it, as I wasn’t willing to test the waterproof floor hypothesis) and is relatively quiet in the wind. It never came unstaked, the rain fly never flew off, never ripped or tore, the door zipper never jammed (and I was in a sandy environment), and it was very easy to put up. The little ceiling storage pouch worked very well as well.

Personally, I’d recommend this tent for no more than 1 or 2 weeks use at a time. What I can say positively about is that it is very obviously well-constructed and I expect it to serve me on shorter trips for many years to come. Oh, and the lightweight tent stakes it comes with are very prone to bending in compacted soil or sand.

5 Stars It’s a keeper
Add me to the 5 star list. First run was for backpacking weekend, we love it. 4 inner pockets, top loop for flashlight/small lantern. Easily to set up & easy to pack up!

No insects came in, no rain problems, no condensation inside, no complaints here.

5 Stars Great compact tent
My husband and I purchased this tent and we really like it. It is light enough for back backing. It says it can fit four people but I would say 2 comfortably and 3 snug. It is really easy to set, it takes about 5 minutes.

5 Stars Research paid off
A few days of reading reviews on 3 season, 3-4 person tents led me to the Kelty Grand Mesa 4. After having received it today, I couldn’t be happier. The most important factors for me were durability, lightweight construction and ease of set up. Though I haven’t had the opportunity to test it outside, I was able to set it up indoors alone very easily and in well under ten minutes. It was equally easy to break down and put away. It is incredibly roomy inside for weighing only about seven pounds. Can’t wait to break it out in the great outdoors!

3 Stars Nice Tent for the price - But…
I do not recommend this tent for camping anyplace where you might encounter blowing sand or dust. Unlike many dome tents, the mesh windows in this tent are NOT equipped with zip-up panels - so there is no way to “batten down the hatches” and keep the dust out during a blow. Kelty probably decided to go this route to keep weight down, and to cut manufacturing costs enabling them to keep the tent priced low.

Stowed, the tent is light and compact. It is a joy to set up and take down - very quick and easy, and it feels spacious and airy even when the rain-fly is in place. I also like the large entry port - I don’t have to crawl to get in or out like I do with some dome tents. It’ll keep you dry and keep the bugs out, but the lack of a way to seal the mesh windows render it of limited use for someone like me who likes to camp in the desert sometimes.

5 Stars GREAT TENT
I live in Aspen/Snowmass and go camping a lot. For two people… it’s AWESOME! For 3 people it’s great… even with gear. You can forget about 4 people… but isn’t that why you buy a 4 person tent… to sleep 3 comfortable:-)?

Anyway… super easy assembly. I recommend putting a tarp underneath the tent to keep it in good condition and keep it dry.

Holds up in wind… rain… etc. The rain fly is great and gives you that extra space you need.

No complaints… great buy, super easy to set up, holds up in the weather.

For around $150… it’s the best buy around.

Oh… this is not a winter tent… 3 seasons only.
