Kelty Late Start Backpacking Tent
2019 Updated Version of Kelty Salida Tent
The two aluminum poles are pre-bent to create extra room inside the tent. Pockets at each corner of the tent keep one end of the pole secure as you move around to deal with the other end.
The tent has a single door. The walls are No-see-um mesh and the floor is tough 68 denier fabric, water resistant to 1800 mm. Internal storage includes a ceiling pocket.
The tent body is protected by a waterproof 68 denier rainfly. All seams are sealed to keep the water out. The freestanding design means you can pitch the tent and then move it around to find the best site.
Let all the alpine starters fight over who gets the summit first, and get a solid night's sleep in the Kelty Late Start Tent. By the time you get out of this rugged, roomy tent, all of them will be stumbling sleepily back to their tents, and you'll get the mountain to yourself. This single-person tent has more space than most thanks to the pre-bent poles that expand internal space, and the rain fly creates a vestibule over the single door to store backpacking and camping gear. Kelty's Quick-Corner Technology utilizes large sleeves at the corners for the poles to slide into, instead of the usual grommets that take more time and patience.
