This Backpacking Tents give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great lightweight tent but I'd like to see some minor improvements
This is my first tent that I own that costs more than $50. I went for this tent for several reasons, it is a lightweight tent, it has more head room than most other tents in its size, it has a porch on both entrances and it should be 100% waterproof. I haven't used it in the rain yet but the way it is setup I think it is an excellent tent for rainy days. The rainfly covers the entire tent. If you stake out the sides none of the water will touch the actual tent which is great and it should keep you dry.
I absolutely love the aluminum tent poles, they are lightweight and in my opinion of superb quality. Compared to fiberglass tent poles it is a difference like night and day
What I don't like so much is that the tent floor is kind of thin (problem of most lightweight tents). It will be fine on grass but most of the time when I pitch a tent it is on forest grounds with little rocks and sticks. I already bought a tarp that I will cut to the size of the tent including the...
2. Durable, light, easy to set up
My wife and I purchased this tent as a lightweight but durable piece of gear for occasional flying/camping trips. On our first trip, the tent was subjected to a 60+mph gale, and survived with only minor bending of the poles. Tents all around were shredded and soaked. Ours was dry and in one piece.
Also, the tent is easy to set up and well-designed. I highly recommend the matching footprint, as it easily fits in the stuff sack with the rest of the tent, and does its job perfectly.

Perfect tent for a casual backpacker, quite large
This tent is perfect for a casual backpacker. I go backpacking about 2x a year and just couldn't justify spending $400 on a ultra lightweight backpacking tent. At 6.5lbs this tent is just light enough to comfortably carry (especially if you can split the load up with your tent mate) and the price is unbeatable. Great quality, which I've come to expect from Kelty. It's as close to a true 3-person tent as I've seen, although it would still be close quarters for three people. My wife and I slept with our dog in the tent and still had ample room.
