"The windows started peeling on my kelty tent"
Both are solid tents. FWIW I have an older model Kelty 6P and it is amazing on rain and wind.
r/CampingGear • Nemo Aurora Highrise 6p vs. Marmot Limestone 6 p? ->Also look at Kelty. That’s what I have.
r/carcamping • Best Inexpensive Large Tents for Car Camping? ->Kelty tents usually exceed my expectations for the price.
r/CampingGear • How is this tent for beginners? ->I have a Kelty, an Alps, a North Face, a REI, a Magellan and one from Bass Pro (I can’t remember the name). All are for different situations. Kelty is a great brand. Just realize you are entering a world where you are going to wake up and ask “Do I need another tent?” and the answer is always yes. Applies to backpacks as well :)
r/CampingGear • How is this tent for beginners? ->We loved our Ozark Trail tent! Set out on a cross country camping trip with a brand new Kelty that we spent a pretty penny on. A week in, a pole broke in the wind and we got SOAKED through the thin floor. Went to a Walmart, picked up an Ozark Trail, and left the Kelty in a dumpster. Never looked back on that decision.
r/camping • Ozark Trail Tent Experience? ->I just got a Kelty, it seems amazing for the $
r/CampingGear • How is this tent for beginners? ->Kelty is always a solid bet. Good quality many choices Helleberg tents will last forever. But the price is high. Many other quality suggestions are listed from others too. Good luck and have fun!
r/WildernessBackpacking • Tent help ->Kelty makes great tents for the money
r/CampingGear • How is this tent for beginners? ->Get a Kelty, way higher quality and will keep you dry
r/camping • Ozark Trail Tent Experience? ->Love my Kelty for car camping. Zippers on the cheap models are frustrating and get stuck a lot.
r/CampingGear • How is this tent for beginners? ->Seconding this comment. My first tent was an ozark lasted me almost a decade, upgraded to a nicer Kelty eventually but still have the ozark pop up. Great stuff for the price highly reccomend
r/camping • Whats the cheapest 2 man tent you would recommend for someone who is looking to get into camping for the first time? ->I've been rocking a kelty tent for 6 years now. I bought it when I first was getting into backpacking and I have used it since. It's a bit heavy comapared to UL tents but I think it is a great tent to start out with. I keep telling myself I am going to buy a new lighter tent, but the kelty has been great.
