Kelty Mantra Tent 5-Person 3-Season

Kelty Mantra Tent 5-Person 3-Season description

The Kelty Mantra 5 Tent is a 5-Person, 3-Season true luxury camping tent.

Bottom Line: Go big or go home.

Mantra 5 replaces our 1 year old Coleman 6 person family tent. It is easy to setup by one person and it has plenty of room to move around and store gear inside. The tent has been solid and dry during windy thunderstorms in the Rockies. Would have given 5 stars but the included aluminum tent stakes are pretty to look at but has no strength. Definitely NOT for hammering. Half of them bent on first use. The rest were all bent by the end of second camping trip. Replaced them with MSR Groundhogs.

We bought this tent after reading a lot of reviews, and we loved many of its features, but the first night we used it, the zipper on the fly seized. The next day, the another zipper malfunctioned, and we decided that this was it for the Kelty Mantra. I was very sorry, because there was so much to like about this tent.

I purchased the Mantra 5 person tent in order to do some Spring camping with my family. We went to Arkansas over SB and had temps in the mid 30's and winds. The tent was easy to setup by myself, and help up wonderful in the wind. My only concern is the 2 tiny white spaces in seams due to tension on side poles.

The Mantra 5 is hands down the best tent I have ever owned! The family and I just got back from a week long camping trip, it rained 3 of the 5 days. NOT a drop inside of the tent. If to staying dry is what you want this is the tent for you. Bottem line, buy the tent you wont regret it.
