Kelty Crestone Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Kelty Crestone Tent 2-Person 3-Season description

The lightweight Kelty Crestone 2, configured with two doors and two vestibules to take maximum advantage of available living space, is an ideal tent for backpacking and other 3-season pursuits where weight is a concern. Individual clips secure two aluminum Featherlite poles quickly and easily for set-up. The mesh ceiling is great for star-gazing and both tent and fly are vented to increase air circulation and prevent condensation. Other features include taped seams, internal storage pockets, an easy buckle tent/fly connection and noiseless zipper pulls. Sneaking out to pee in the middle of the night without waking your partner has never been easier.

Bottom Line: An ideal light and fast backpacking tent.

This is a great tent value for a backpacker. Light weight, easy to stow and set up. Like most 2 person tents, the "2" refers to the sleeping area only. It is comfortable for one larger person with gear. One caveat - be prepared to use deadmans for staking if you are in rocky terrain. The C2 has to be tightly guyed to set up properly, but that is common with lightweight tents. I'm very pleased with it.

Easy to set up and take down. I got this tent for myself because I like the extra room. It could hold two people, but it would be tight. The two doors are nice. The vestibule holds boots and pack. Not a lot of head room, but long enough for someone fairly tall to stretch out in. Packs small and is light for its size. I have not taken it out for a long trip yet, only overnight, so can't speak more on it.
