Pros & Cons
Pros
This works great as a large vestibule right over a tent. Perfect for overlanding in rain, over the truck tailgate. It has a good shoulder strap and works well used messenger style.
Set up is a little fiddly, but once you get a system down, it goes up pretty quick. Easy setup with 2 people, fine with one. Stake out as desired. Set up & take down is super easy.
Tent can be used to set up a potty in the middle of the night. Can also be used as a place to inflate a twin air mattress in the car. Can be used by anyone who wants to use it for camping.
Quality feels well made and i like the system that kelty uses for fastenings and the bag to put everything back in. It is just as advertised. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.
No loose threads or misaligned parts. There are a few inside pockets to stash small stuff. Attached to wheels. I have a lifted chevy van.
Cons
The side flaps roll up, but the loops for staying those are not long enough to cover the girth of the rolled up flap. The little tabs are too short to fasten without a struggle. The poles were curved when removed.

Good quality materials with strong pole support system.
A lot shade, super easy to assemble, sturdy and quality stakes!

Snap in all the polymer clips to the aluminum poles.
Price
I didn't want to spend $1500 on an awning that was permanently attached to my van.
For the 150 odd dollars for this and after using it, i'd have to say i really like it; i'm keeping it and would recommend it.
Fabric stitching isn't bad for the price.
Shipping
Delivery was very timely and everything came in excellent condition.
Packs up quickly and takes up little space in it's bag.
Packaging/appearance
Easy to put together alone and the bag is big enough to pack it back in with zero swears.
The takedown and pack up was nice using the large shark mouth bag.
Competitiveness
It's a bit expensive, but compared to the cheaper ones i've had, the better quality poles, materials, ground pegs, and storage ... Read More

Updateas previously explained i mainly use this attached to my gazelle tent to add a vestibule well i left campground to get supplies and to my surprise even though i had absolutely no food a bear got curious enough to get inside since they can’t open zippers lol my kelty got destroyed by its weight seems he stood on the walls and broke the poles thankfully not finding any food it left my tent untouched

This would be a much better product with aluminum poles instead of fiberglass
