"My only complaint is that the front zipper is really tight. Like the tension is really high. We’ve adjusted everything we can, and the zipper is tight no matter what."
"Zippers on the cheap models are frustrating and get stuck a lot."

"we needed to add some pulls near the bottom middle to keep the fly from touching the inner and transferring condensation."
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? ->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? ->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 ->Get a Kelty, way higher quality and will keep you dry
r/camping • Ozark Trail Tent Experience? ->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? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
