Love it, but ridiculously small.
Pros:
Very light for backpacking.
Cons:
Very small for two people.
The Bottom Line:
I would recommend this tent to a backpacker looking for something lightweight and will hold up during many different weather conditions.

Author's Review
Last weekend, my fiance and I went backpacking in the mountains in New Mexico. This Kelty tent was super lightweight (as it was my first time backpacking, I needed lightweight EVERYTHING!) During that period in the mountains, it rained quite a few times and surprisingly, also hailed. We were afraid that it would rip a hole through the tent, but it held up amazingly! I would definitely recommend this tent based upon that. However, I am 5â€㯏’’ and my fiance is 6â€â€™â€™. This made for a very tight fit in this tent. Plus, we had a 62 pound dog sleeping at our heads (haha). It is also very very easy to assemble and though we had a footprint for it, I am not even sure you definitely need it. I love Kelty products and recommend them to everyone as they are generally are made well and are relatively cheap compared to the other brands. It is very hard to get in and out of, however, because of how low the ceiling is, but that is a very minor gripe. This is definitely NOT a tent you take for just camping with your family, but for a person looking for something made well and is light enough for a long haul while backpacking, I definitely recommend it!
