Kelty Teton 4 Tent 4-Person 3-Season description The Kelty Teton 4-person 3-season tent is a classic 2-pole dome tent perfect for weekend camping and warm climate backpacking. Whether you're traveling with a party of four, or prefer extra space to store your gear, the Teton 4 provides plenty of room. The Teton saves weight by providing tons of mesh ceiling ventilation. While riding out storms won't be this tent's forte, muggy nights can be spent peacefully thanks to generous airflow. Side wall vents also promote air movement. The Teton has one D-shaped door and taped floor seams. The rainfly has taped seams and side-release tent/fly connection buckles. This is an awesome lightweight tent for an incredible price! |
Kelty Teton 4 Tent
G. Baldwin; Fort White, FL: 
My wife and I are avid kayakers; we started thinking about camping to mitigate the cost of each trip to the river. She has lots of camping experience, I have none. After looking at probably 150 tents in all price ranges, I decided I wanted a tent with one entrance and vestibule, good interior height and some extra room inside, maybe for a chair or gear. I focused in on the Teton 4, and got a good price. The setup is a snap, took me about 5 minutes. Needed some help with the fly. It is snug, dry, well-ventilated; the construction is excellent. My ONLY complaint would be that the fly does not come all the way down to the ground, except at the corners; so in a windy rain storm, it is possible some water could find its way into the tent. But if I knew there was going to be a windy rainstorm, I wouldn't go camping! So, all in all, for the money I think it's a wonderful tent for lightweight camping!
tradeoffs on the Teton 4 Tent 4-Person 3-Season
Anonymous: 
This tent is incredibly light for such a large tent. However, there are tradeoffs. For one, the rain fly is small and doesn't keep rain off of the tent very well. You'll stay fairly dry, but don't get too near the sides. Also, getting four people in is a bit of a squeeze if all four are large. On the other hand, this thing is pretty sturdy. It stood up to 65 mph in an unexpected storm in Denali.

Got my new tent and it set up in a few minutes .. I was really happy with this until a good rain came and I ended up with leaks at all 4 corners! On a Kelty?? I called Kelty and they said to send it in but I don't want to go thru the hassle yet and will try a seam sealer .. at least Kelty said their stuff has a lifetime warranty so at least I know it will be repaired. But a brand new high end tent should not leak.
