Pros & Cons
Pros
Vestibules are big enough to house all gear and there is more then enough room for 4 adults. It fits our queen size air mattress in there w/ maybe a foot and a half around two edges. Plenty of room for 2 people with twin sized air mattresses plus gear... Read More
The tent has many features of higher end tents at half the cost or less. Kelty tents are a good value, and it is hard to tell the difference between it and some of the more glamorous names. It is as good as $400-$500 ones in 4 person size. Bought for ... Read More
It's seems a little sturdier then the last gen. I liked the sleeves for the rods over the quick connect clips which could be a little tighter fitting. The stakes that came with it are the lightweight y-shaped aluminum stakes.
Great family backpacking tent though. We do bivouac camping so this works great to hike in and make a base camp. Also has storage in the 2 vestibules.
Great quality tent. Works really well in the middle of the night when nature calls. It is perfect for that. Highly recommend this tent.
Cons
The venting for this tent is terrible. There was so much buildup or dripped down onto our sleeping bags. Will never buy another product of kelty.
Highlights
Quality
Awesome and rock sturdy in the wind.
Very easy to setup and very robust when you use the extra tie down lines.
The mesh walls/ceiling are a great idea, especially if you are out in the middle of nowhere and want to stargaze, but they leav... Read More
It has two long cross poles (that go from corner to corner) - all you have to do is put them in the grommets - then start attac... Read More
Price
Purchased this tent from amazon for an excellent price.
Five stars because this is a fine tent for a great price.
Reason being for the price you can do better.
Because of the price i didn't expect the tent to be this nice.
Shipping
The item was received super fast and in perfect condition.
Camped for 4 days in this thing as soon as i received it.
I frequently camp alone with my 8 y/o - so when this tent arrived, the first thing i did was to make sure i could put it up on my own.
Six day trip which had typical afternoon mountain rain storms and wind.
Packaging/appearance
This is not a back packing tent unless you split up the pieces.
Might work but someone is going to have to carry some extra food for whoever gets stuck carrying the tent as this is pretty bul... Read More
Packs easy in the bag that came with it.
Our campsite got a little flooded, our tent was sitting in about 5 inches of water.
Competitiveness
I read a lot of other reviews on tents ranging from $65- $750 and this one had the best of all worlds in my opinion- which was ... Read More
The parthenon has more head room, but the trail ridge has much more vertical sides than the average tent in that style.
I compared this older model with the newer one for about a month and the only true difference i found from both sellers, resell... Read More

Once received after setting up this older model i tried pulling back the fly and it pulls back just fine it doesnt snap into place with a special buckle like the newer model but it can definitely be rolled back to air out which is primarily what id do that for or 34star gaze

Areas on the floor where seams meet are sewn and taped

Took me less than 10 minutes to set up the first time and less than 5 to take down

I will say that the poles are super tricky at first and works a lot faster when you have a second person helping you i did not because once one end of the pole is inserted into the 34grommet34 you have to bend the pole just right even though they come warped just right for you to be able to do this to fit into the corresponding 34grommet34

Poles are very strong and lightweight
