Kelty Teton 2 Tent

Wish I bought 3
I am new to backpacking and have a lot to learn. I spent several hours researching the equipment I need to purchase for my family of five to enjoy the experience. It will cost quite a bit of money to outfit everyone with the basics, but it is going to be worth it. I decided to purchase the Teton 2 as it recieved high reviews from all sources. Altrec had the best price hands down (close out sale). I was fortunate to buy the LAST one in stock. I was happy to be able to get it, but really wanted to purchase one for each of my sons. I set it up in five minutes without reading the directions. Actually, I am not sure it even came with directions. I admit that I needed a little help with the rain fly. One look at the picture on the box cleared up my question. My boys are tall (6'2+) and need a lot of room. The Teton 2 is longer than the other Kelty tents in this class. I asked my 6'3" son to climb in with me and it was just fine. If I were going for a trip longer than two nights, I might consider a Gunnison 3.1 for two people. The 100% guarantee from Altrec makes buying from them a "no brainer". I bookmarked the site. I will be back - frequently!

Amazing little tent!
This is a great tent for the price, there are obviously many options when it comes to tents in this size - but none that provides more bang for the buck than this tent here. For the most part you wont find anything cheaper with this kind of quality! It easily contains my wife (5'4" 120) myself (5'10" 235) and the vestibule holds... well 1 large pack or two small packs and some trekking poles and boots. The colors are a little ugly, but performance is top notch!

Great Little Tent
Very easy to set up and seems roomy for one person. The zipper on the door seems to be the only area of concern - time will tell if it holds up or not.

Teton 2 is a Good Tent
Kelty makes several nice backpacking tents that are budget minded. On my Teton 2, I was pleased with the lightweight aluminum poles and the ease of using the clips to set it up. I'm 6'-2" and it's barely long enough inside, but I'll sleep diagonal. The side entrance is a very nice feature. There is a lot of good ventilation screening under the fly, so condensation should be minimized. I also bought the footprint, but have yet to figure out exactly how it attaches to the tent corners. I would definitely recommend it.

good tent
while 2 people can sleep in here, you certainly can't fit the gear for both people. I rented this tent for a 3 night trip with cars; it was pretty good. I could set it up by myself in the dark.
